Equality as a quality factor
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences recognises the promotion of women's equality as one of its central tasks, especially in the technical disciplines. With a high proportion of women - even in senior positions in science and administration - the university ensures that specific perspectives, values and standards are incorporated. We therefore see gender equality work not only as a contribution to social justice and democracy, but also as part of university development, human resources development and quality management.
Under this motto, we offer a wide range of services:
We are currently setting up a university health management system.
More information will follow shortly.
The health of our employees is very important to us. That is why we support them within the framework of Corporate Integration Management (CIM).
We currently have the following offers:

Football connects
The International Football Club focuses on fair play, diversity, respect, teamwork, fun and playing football together in an international group. International students and all other students have the chance to get to know each other.
Help with difficulties in your studies and personal problems.
All students at the university have the opportunity to visit the Psychological Counselling Centre of the Studierendenwerk Bremen (PBS) in Bremerhaven as well. Open office hours for students in Bremerhaven are every Tuesday from 12 to 1 pm.
Further visits can be arranged by appointment.
A Student Mental Health Group meets regularly for exchange, mutual reinforcement and also for group activities.
With our services, we would like to support all university members in balancing their daily study and work routine with family and care responsibilities.
We offer advice on the topics of "caring for family members", "studying with a child" and "working with a child".
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences has two family rooms that can be used for self-organised care. In addition to looking after your child/children while you work or study, the family rooms also offer the possibility for a parent to look after their own child/children or, if desired, after other children, while their parents are in the conference room, laboratory or office.
Diaper-changing and breastfeeding facilities are also available.
For students of the university of Bremerhaven who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* or otherwise queer, there is the group “Queer Students“. We have weekly meetings for get-togethers, movie nights, panel discussions, excursions and so much more.
