Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences Welcomes 150 New Bachelor’s and Master’s Students
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences welcomed its new students for the 2026 summer semester with its traditional English-language welcome event. Once again this year, first-year students received numerous tips for a successful start to their studies.
The biologist, researcher and former rector of Aachen University of Applied Sciences is the new honorary professor on the Biotechnology degree programme at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences. Our students benefit from his extensive knowledge in the fields of marine resources, botany and zoology, marine systems and cell biology. In this interview, the former AWI researcher and participant in several Arctic and Antarctic expeditions reveals what is particularly close to his heart when working with students.

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.
