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.
