Mercator College


Mercator College is one of the four residential colleges at Jacobs University Bremen . The It is a place for students to live and learn in harmony that currently hosts approximately 190 students from more than 40 countries. Mercator College has been given it's name to honour the Stiftung Mercator GmbH from Essen and the Stiftung Mercator Switzerland, based in Lucerne. In year 2002, these two foundations donated a total of EUR 6.5 million to the then International University Bremen for the renovation and construction of the second college. A year after the generous donation, Mercator College was officially dedicated on the 8th of April 2003. It is the second college on campus to be officially named. The first students already moved into the renovated buildings in September. More information about life in Mercator can be found on their official website.
