Four faculties achieved top scores in the research category.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science performed very well in terms of third-party funding per researcher and in the category of doctorates per professorship. Political Science also achieved a very good result in the “Third-Party Funding per Researcher” category.
Outstanding Student Reviews
In the student survey of the CHE ranking, the individual subjects at the University of Bremen also received excellent results with top ratings in key areas such as study organization, library facilities, supervision by teaching staff, and the general study conditions.
