A major step towards accessibility
Just in time for Diversity Day 2026, two new support systems at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences are ensuring that the campus becomes even more accessible. A digital wayfinding system now makes it easier to find your way around the campus. The new audio system improves the acoustics in the lecture theatres, regardless of where you are seated. Both innovations are designed so that it is not only students with disabilities who benefit from them. With these new services, the “University by the Sea” is a pioneer in the state of Bremen.

TED Talk by Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Alexis Papathanassis named an Editor’s Pick
What can we learn from tourism about migration? Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Alexis Papathanassis, Professor of Tourism and Maritime Tourism and Rector of Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, dedicated his TED Talk at the university’s first TEDx conference to this topic. The editorial team has now selected it as an Editor’s Pick. This means that the talk is classified as particularly valuable, high-quality and globally relevant.
Careers in science and technology are seen as forward-looking and a guarantee of a good income. The demand for skilled workers is high. Nevertheless, women are less likely than men to choose to study or train in STEM subjects. At Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, Alessandra Kronschnabel is working on the MINTsteps collaborative project to inspire girls to pursue careers in these fields. To this end, she has been offering laboratory courses in schools across Bremerhaven for some time now.

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.
