1. Official or certified copies of high school transcripts. First-year applicants (applying straight out of high school) will need to submit transcripts for the last 2-3 years of high school. Transcripts can be submitted to the undergraduate admissions office via these three options:
   1. Your school official (counselor, teacher, principal, etc.) uploads the transcripts to the Common App.
   2. E-transcripts issued by official digital credential services (e.g. parchment).
   3. You send certified copies of your transcripts to the university by post using the following mailing address:
      
      Constructor University Bremen
      Office of Undergraduate Admission
      Campus Ring 1
      28759 Bremen
      Germany
2. Educational history form. In the 'Questions' section of the Common App, you will be required to complete the 'Additional High School Information' sub-section. Here you will need to upload an Educational History Form where you will list all the schools that you have attended up to your current school.
3. Standardized testing (SAT/ACT). Constructor University does not require SAT/ACT for admission evaluation for the Fall 23 intake. Applicants can choose to complete their application without SAT/ACT. If admitted, standardized testing (SAT/ACT) may be required for enrollment, if your high school diploma does not grant you direct admission to a university in Germany. Students who graduate with the German Abitur do not need to submit standardized test scores to Constructor University. If you do not submit a standardized test, your application will be considered on the basis of the personal essay, letters of recommendation, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and the way students presented themselves through the application process.
   If your admission is conditional on having to take the SAT/ACT, it is recommended that you take the test before arrival. However, you will also have the option to take it on campus (October and/or December) during the first semester. For those who enroll without SAT and ACT and are to take them on campus, they may also be offered a complimentary test preparation.
   Applicants can send proof of their standardized test scores via official agencies. Alternatively, applicants could send us certified paper copies via regular post to the following mailing address:
   
   Constructor University Bremen
   Office of Undergraduate Admission
   Campus Ring 1
   28759 Bremen
   Germany
   
   The following tests are accepted:
   1. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): This test consists of two sections: Mathematics and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, plus an optional Essay. Constructor University does not require the optional writing section. Each section is scored on a 200 to 800-point scale, making a perfect score of 1600.
   2. American College Testing (ACT): This test consists of four sections: English, Reading, Math, and Science, as well as an optional writing test. Constructor University does not require the writing test offered by the ACT. Each section is scored on a 1 to 36-point scale. The composite ACT score is the average score of all four sections of the test.
4. Language proficiency test. All applicants must have an adequate command of the English language to enroll at Constructor University. An applicant’s English language ability (non-native speakers) may be demonstrated through language proficiency test scores.
   You will qualify for an English proficiency waiver if you are a native English speaker, have been instructed exclusively in English for a minimum of 6 years, have scored 600 or higher on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section, or have scored 9 or higher on the ACT Writing section.
   You may need to confirm you qualify for a waiver with the Office of Admissions.
   For those who require English proficiency tests, you can submit your test score in the testing section of the Common App. Proof of the English proficiency test results can be sent via official agencies. Alternatively, applicants could send certified paper copies via regular post to:

   Office of Undergraduate Admission
   Campus Ring 1
   28759 Bremen
   Germany
5. Motivation statement. At Constructor University, we want to get to know you better as an applicant through a personal essay and some university specific questions. You will find questions such as “What do you find interesting?” and “Why Constructor University?” in the “My Colleges Writing” section of the Common App.
