— Amidst Europe’s growing skill shortage, Nexord University and Constructor University have initiated an innovative collaboration aimed at linking Nigeria’s motivated and skilled young population with premier educational resources and promising job prospects both in Germany and internationally.
Renowned for its prowess in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, Constructor University equips students with hands-on skills and professional networks that align well with Nexford University’s career-oriented, web-centric approach to American education. Jointly, these institutions have crafted a curriculum tailored to meet Nigeria’s rising need for global educational opportunities as well as Germany’s pressing requirement for competent experts.
A Nigeria-to-Germany Learning Experience
Beginning with the 2025/2026 academic term, this pioneering program enables Nigerian students participating in the new curriculum to fulfill as much as half of their bachelor’s or master’s degree requirements entirely online via NexfordUniversity. Following this phase, they will transition to Constructor University’s campus in Bremen to conclude their education, thereby acquiring valuable global insights, practical industry knowledge in Germany, and connections within Europe’s robust professional circles.
For graduate students, the program presents a notably advantageous opportunity: the chance to obtain two master’s degrees via an efficient course structure that is acknowledged by both educational institutions involved.

Access to Global Jobs
Even though Nigeria produces more than 500,000 university graduates each year, the country struggles with offering adequate professional opportunities for its skilled labor force.
Germany’s anticipated shortfall of seven million skilled workers by 2035 presents an ideal opportunity for this initiative. Given that there are over 209,000 vacant roles in STEM fields at present, Nigerian graduates holding degrees from Constructor University will find themselves entering a receptive job market.
Constructor University alumni qualify for an 18-month visa in Germany since their studies fulfill the necessary residence criteria for obtaining a work visa. The academic offerings have been meticulously crafted to ensure students acquire competencies that match the needs of the European job market. At present, 78% of Constructor University graduates find employment throughout Europe, with about 70% landing positions within just three months post-graduation. Leading companies like Accenture, Amazon, Google, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Roche, Ringier AG, Tamedia, and UBS frequently hire these graduates, highlighting the robust professional networks and promising opportunities associated with this institution.
Benefits of Scholarships and Cost-Effectiveness for Nigerian Students
Recognizing the economic challenges faced by numerous Nigerian students, this collaboration offers considerable financial benefits. Participants benefit from Nexord’s budget-friendly fixed-rate tuition when learning remotely from home, thus circumventing major expenses related to overseas moves for the initial phase of their studies.
When transitioning to Constructor University, all Nexford students become eligible for scholarships. This considerate initiative ensures that a high-quality global education is available to a larger group of Nigeria’s motivated young individuals.
Through integrating Constructor University’s residential instruction with Nexord’s online proficiency, we’ve crafted a distinctive curriculum providing adaptability, educational growth, and career prospects at a budget-friendly cost.
stated Turgut Tülü, the Chancellor of Constructor University.
This initiative supports Constructor University’s aim to solidify Bremen’s position as a center for international talent, providing students with cutting-edge expertise, advanced educational programs, and a pioneering method of teaching across various fields.
Graduates will be well-placed to construct their professional lives in Europe, foster enterprises linking European and Nigerian markets, or go back to Nigeria equipped with essential skills and connections that bolster the local economy.
