Overview
Hochschule Bremerhaven, in English Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, is a public university of applied sciences on the German North Sea coast.
It was founded in 1975 and describes itself as a family university, with close contact between students and teachers and a strongly practice-oriented approach to education. The university offers Bachelor's and Master's programmes in engineering, food and life sciences, logistics and information systems, business and management, tourism and digital media.
Several courses are taught in English, and the range includes work-integrated and cooperative formats that combine study with time in a company. Research is organised in four clusters: Energy and Marine Technology, Life Sciences, Logistic and Information Systems, and Tourism and Management.
Energy and marine technology is a stated priority and accounts for a considerable share of third-party research funding, while the life sciences build on the biotechnology, food technology, medical technology and physician assistant programmes.
Close cooperation with partners from business and research runs through both teaching and applied research, and the maritime setting shapes many of the subjects.
