This spring semester, 24 visiting and exchange students from the United States, Argentina and the Netherlands are joining Jacobs University to spend their semester abroad in Bremen.
February 9, 2015Seventeen of them are students from Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, majoring in various engineering degrees. The group is accompanied by Dr. Anne Raich, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, who visits Jacobs University in her capacity as an accompanying faculty for the second time. This semester she will contribute to Jacobs University’s academic course offerings by teaching a course on “Strength of Materials”.
The visiting program with Wellesley College is now in its fourth year. Jacobs University is hosting an astrophysics student on campus this semester.
Two students from Jacobs University’s new exchange partner, the University of San Andrés in Argentina, will be heading to Bremen for the first time to take part in the humanities and social science courses and enjoy social life at Jacobs University.
Exchange students from the University College Utrecht, Cornell University, Washington State University and Carnegie Mellon University will also be visiting the campus. They are majoring in various STEM fields from bioengineering to computer science.
Dr. Antonia Gohr, Head of Graduate, Executive Education & Special Programs, says: “We find it especially important that Jacobs University with its excellent lab facilities and academic offers in STEM fields is in the position to offer incoming science and engineering students a study abroad stay that combines intensive intercultural experience and rigorous academic program.”
