Most importantly, you will need notification of admission. Due to the fact that visa processing can take up to several months, we advise you to submit your application as early as possible. If you need help with your visa, or if you are not sure about the required documents, we recommend you check out the following website. Michelle Mrosek, Head of the International Student Assistance at the IGC, is also able to help you with questions regarding visa proceedings (isa@hs-bremen.de).
You can easily enroll online in our CampInO-Portal. After completing the enrollment process please send us your printed and signed application for enrollment by mail or bring it in person to the IGC admission office.

If you can't be on campus on time, for example due to visa delays, you can easily join online. In this case, we offer hybrid events and lectures for attending both on-site and online. However, by the end of the year at the latest, you will be required to attend lectures on-site.
In order to enroll at IGC, you must have health insurance, which is mandatory in Germany and serves as a safeguard to ensure that you do not have to pay privately for medical treatment and medication in the event of illness or accident. Health insurance also covers the cost of check-ups and preventive examinations.
Please note: Health insurance contributions (approx. 130 euros per month) must be paid from the beginning of your studies, regardless of when you enter Germany. For this purpose, we can determine the applicable date of enrollment, from which the contributions are to be paid, at the latest until the beginning of the studies.
In order to access your blocked account and to pay for things like health insurance, rent and TV licence (GEZ), you will need to open an account in Germany. Before you can do this, you need to have completed city registration and received your tax ID number. Once you have your tax ID number, you can make an appointment at a local bank to open your account. For support with any of this, or if you have any questions, please contact isa@hs-bremen.de .
