Following an Anti-LGBTQ+ Incident: Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences Raises New Pride Flags
In mid-September, a Pride flag at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences was torn down from the flagpole and burned. Now, members of the university community have jointly raised two new flags—as a visible symbol of diversity, acceptance, solidarity, and a refusal to be intimidated by such acts.
University Awards Kieserling Foundation Scholarships to Dedicated Students
Financing one’s education is often a challenge. This is especially true for international students who are not eligible for educational assistance and must learn the language in addition to mastering their coursework. The Kieserling Foundation supports logistics students at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences who face financial challenges in their studies. Three scholarships were recently awarded. Iryna Gutsul, Quang Minh Nguyen, and Tran Pham received them from the program director, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carsten Dorn, in the presence of the Dean’s Office of Faculty 2 at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences.

Passionate about research
The university has four research clusters in which it works on a broad range of topics to address the societal challenges of our times.
Discover all four research clusters by clicking on the tabs.
A clear priority in the university's research and development activities is the area of energy and marine technology. A considerable percentage of the university's third-party research funding can be attributed to this area.
Research activities in the life sciences are largely built on the expertise in the study programmes Biotechnology, Food Technology, Medical Technologies and Physician Assistant. Apart from marine research topics ranging from marine microbiology to fisheries biology, application-oriented research in the food sector is also of exceptional importance.
Linking the disciplines of 'logistics' and 'information systems' in one research cluster allows us to conduct applied research to identify, evaluate and realise potential for logistics and related areas. This is how we connect different areas, including such areas as digitalisation and maritime processes.
The research cluster Tourism and Management brings together research in the areas of the international tourism industry (esp. cruise tourism) and general management. In both areas, the focus is primarily on strategic issues and application-oriented, practical research.
