In the current CHE Ranking, the master’s degrees in computer science, mathematics, and physics - for the first time - were assessed according to different categories.
“We are very pleased about this fantastic evaluation,” says Vice President Academic, Professor Thomas Hoffmeister. “It is very important to the University of Bremen that the students are well informed and supported, even in these difficult times.” The commitment of teachers and staff is extremely high. “That is reflected in the CHE Ranking.”
Top Spot in Category “Transfer between Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree”

Over 90 percent of the students evaluated the access to lectures, as well as the coordination of various class parts as being good, or even very good.

About the CHE Ranking
The CHE ranking examines more than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences throughout Germany. It collates information on a total of 30 subjects and each subject is reevaluated every three years. Many prospective and current students take careful note of the CHE ranking. The subject fields of biochemistry, biology / bio sciences, chemistry, geography, geosciences, computer science, mathematics, medicine, nursing science, pharmacy, physics, political studies, sport / sport science, and dentistry were assessed this year. The weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT published the entire ranking results in the ZEIT study guide for 2020/21 and on the ZEIT CAMPUS ONLINE website.
