How Do I Become a University Professor?
A professorship at a university of applied sciences (HAW/FH) offers interesting career paths for early-career researchers. But how do I become a professor at a university of applied sciences? What are the requirements, and what should I keep in mind when applying? Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and Bremen University of Applied Sciences will answer these questions in a joint digital information session on Thursday, April 16, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is open to anyone interested in a professorship at a University of Applied Sciences.

“She was the heart of the university" – an obituary for Martina Sieghold
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences mourns the loss of Martina Sieghold. The long-serving secretary to the Rector passed away on 11 March 2026 at the age of 64 following a long and serious illness. Her colleagues remember her as the “heart and soul of the university” – a woman whose warm, caring and humorous nature shaped the way we worked together. The Rector’s Office extends its deepest sympathies to her family, in particular to her husband Peter Sieghold, who himself worked at the University for many years, and to her daughter Julia.

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.
