Constructor University, the private university in Bremen, Germany that was known as Jacobs University Bremen until 2022, offers merit-based graduate scholarships of up to about €12,000 per year to international Master's applicants. The awards apply to selected programmes including the MSc in Data Engineering, the MSc in Data Science for Society & Business, and the MSc in Supply Chain Management. The campus brings together students from more than 100 countries and follows an interdisciplinary, project-based teaching model with access to research, internship, and networking opportunities. Scholarships are awarded automatically as part of the admission decision, so there is no separate scholarship form: every applicant is considered for a merit award when they apply for one of the eligible Master's programmes. To qualify you need a completed Bachelor's degree or equivalent, a transcript in English or German, a CV, two recommendation letters, and an English test score of at least 90 on TOEFL, 6.5 on IELTS, or 110 on Duolingo. The application deadline for the relevant intake is around 1 June 2026 (est.). Because the exact award value, the list of eligible programmes, and the closing date are set each cycle, confirm the current 2026/2027 figures and deadline on the official Constructor University financial-aid page before you apply.
