From student to professor: thanks to the tandem programme, Peter Seedorf will soon be head of the Marine Engineering programme at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences
Peter Seedorf developed a passion for shipping at an early age – particularly for making ship propulsion systems more environmentally friendly and driving forward the decarbonisation of the industry. This passion has now brought the former Marine Engineering student from Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences back to his old stomping ground: since March 2026, the 38-year-old has been a professor in his former field of study. “I am very happy that Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences has made this path possible for me,” says Seedorf. He explains how he became a professor in this interview.

Taking the leap: The career path to a professorship at a university of applied sciences
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.
