UWC Robert Bosch
UWC Robert Bosch College is home to 200 young adults from over 100 countries who spend two years living and learning on our campus in Freiburg. By engaging in a diverse international community and completing a transformative educational programme, they learn that positive change is possible — through open, honest dialogue and informed, courageous action.
Founded in 2014, UWC Robert Bosch College is one of the youngest UWC schools worldwide. Like our sister schools in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, our college is built on a foundation of deliberate diversity: we welcome students from a cross section of socioeconomic backgrounds, cultures, religions, nationalities and experiences. During their two years at UWC, students are confronted with key issues facing humanity: intercultural understanding, peace and sustainability. These have been the core elements of a UWC education since Kurt Hahn founded Atlantic College in 1962. UWC Robert Bosch College enrolls 100 students per year group, or 200 students in total. Of these, 50 places are reserved for German students and 150 for international students. Students who need financial support receive a scholarship in accordance with their need. Currently, 70% of the students at UWC Robert Bosch College receive a full scholarship and 30% receive a partial scholarship. From its founding, the College also reserves at least four scholarships per year to young refugees living in Germany.
In Kurt Hahn‘s concept of education, experiential learning is an important key element. How can we understand something if we do not also live it? How to further the mind without considering the body? In addition to the CAS program, UWC Robert Bosch College offers project weeks, outdoor activities and work in the School Garden as learning opportunities balancing traditional classroom teaching.
UWC Robert Bosch College is a joint project of the Deutsche Stiftung UWC as well as the Robert Bosch Stiftung. Located in Freiburg, Germany‘s “green city“, the College has a special focus on sustainability, which is embedded in academics, student life and the architecture of the buildings. The proximity to the Black Forest National Park further allows for a well-rounded outdoor program. Deliberate diversity is the College’s main goal. For this purpose, it currently provides 70% of its student body with full scholarships, thanks to funding from the state ministry, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, B.Braun Melsungen AG as well as many other foundations and individuals.
