OXFORD INTERNATIONAL LAUNCHES NEW EUROPEAN PATHWAY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GERMAN LEADERS JACOBS UNIVERSITY

We’re proud to announce that together with Jacobs University, we are now offering international students the opportunity to study for an undergraduate degree at one of Germany’s top universities with their new Jacobs University International College, welcoming our first group of international students this September.

Germany has become a destination of choice for international students. Nearly 400,000 international students enrolled in German higher education institutions in 2019, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.4% and an increase of 60% over the past decade. International students currently represent 13.8% of the total number of students studying in Germany.

We’re among the first pathway providers to establish an international college with a German institution, and our one-year, tailored preparatory programme will equip international students to succeed in their degree studies. The course will deepen their English language skills, prepare them for the multifaceted academic world, and offer an on-campus living experience. During the COVID pandemic, students at Jacobs University have been offered blended learning.

After completing the foundation course, students progress onto their undergraduate course of choice at Jacobs University. Ranked among the Top 300 best universities worldwide, and having the most international outlook in Germany according to Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, with an international student population of 80%, Jacobs University teaches entirely in English and offers a wide variety of subjects to study; including International Business, Management, Computer Sciences, Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Industrial Engineering and Robotics. Admissions for the September 2021 intake are now open.
