University Sports
The Association for University Sports offers both students and external participants a wide range of different sports for an affordable price. The courses are usually offered in the event time and in the event-free time. Participants have the opportunity to learn new and alternative sports, to expand their repertoire of movements, and to experience the social and communicative side of sports.

Requesting leave at the University of Bremen
Recreational leave must be applied for in a timely manner through official channels (complete the leave application form, sign it and submit it to the responsible person in the work area).

Residual leave is cancelled if it has not been taken by the end of 30 September of the following year.
If an employee becomes sick during his/her leave, the days of incapacity for work, as evidenced by a medical certificate, shall not be counted towards the annual leave.
Academic staff shall take their teaching obligations into account when planning their leave. Professors and university lecturers are exempt from applying for leave, but must notify the Dean's Office of their absence.
In the case of fixed-term employment, the holiday must be taken within the term of the employment contract. Payment of remaining leave is not possible.
Responsible Research
The University of Bremen is a place of freedom of opinion and speech, recognition of equality of all people and respect for human rights. The diversity of researchers, students, employees, and cooperation partners is a strength of the university. Even though international cooperations in particular bring challenges, the University of Bremen stands for an open, accessible institution that is interested in cooperations and a worldwide exchange.
Nevertheless, there are frameworks for responsible cooperation with other countries, especially with countries that have a low Academic Freedom Index. More information from the universty on the topic of responsible research can be found here.
