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.

"Przyjaźń" means "friendship": Hans Rummel dedicated his life to Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and to the partnership with the Polish University of Gdynia
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences mourns the loss of its lecturer and Honorary Senator, Prof. Dr. h. c. Hans Rummel. From the day of its foundation on 1 September 1975, he shaped the university both as a lecturer and as a person. He had already been training young people at its predecessor, the University of Nautical Studies, Department B – Bremerhaven. On 30 September 2026, Hans Rummel passed away at the age of 85. His life’s work was the enduring friendship between Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and the Polish Uniwersytet Morski w Gdyni, the Maritime University in Gdynia. Its beginnings were a perilous adventure.
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences Welcomes New Students
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences welcomed its new students at the traditional ceremony held at the Bremerhaven City Theater. “You have decided to come here. For very few of you, this was the easiest path—and that is exactly why it deserves respect! Don’t be afraid of this program. We believe in you, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.” With these words, Rector Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Alexis Papathanassis welcomed the first-semester students.
The university has four research clusters in which it works on a broad range of topics to address the societal challenges of our times.

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.
