Get to know the HSB
Excellent prospects for your career

The public service departments offer secure and versatile jobs – in every case. We also support you in setting up an additional pension provision for employees. You can find out about such special options at the VBL.

Whenever it may suit, the HSB permits you to decide for yourself where you work – at the university or from home, to reach the ideal conditions for an optimal work-life balance.

In addition, almost all our jobs are designed in such a way that you can choose to work part-time. For any questions you may have relating to working hours, you can contact the person named in the job advertisement if you are interested in a position.

The ‘Family-Friendly University’ audit has been carried out regularly at the HSB since 2005 – and we continue to work on improving it: we strive to promote the compatibility of family and career in all areas of work. Feel free to talk to us about your individual work-time models, home office, paid leave for special family events or emergencies or any other issues that might concern you. Our family office is there to assist you with this.

Bremen City University of Applied Sciences supports the ‘Flummi e.V. – Eltern-Kind-Initiative’ (parent-child initiative) and the ‘Socke e.V. children’s group’. Both facilities offer care for children between the ages of 1 and 3. Members of the university have priority access to the available childcare places.

Bremen City University of Applied Sciences is centrally located in Bremen’s Neustadt district and is easily accessible by public transport. We offer discounts on public transport with the VBN Jobticket.

If you prefer to travel by bicycle, we offer secure parking facilities – some locations even offer charging stations for your e-bike. Speaking of bicycles: did you know that the university is located in the middle of the model region named: ‘Fahrradquartier’ (literally: the ‘bicycle quarter’)? The surrounding streets are therefore designed to meet the needs of cyclists. And if something breaks, our ‘Repair Café’ will help you. If you require a new or replacement bicycle, the university will support you with an interest-free loan, the so-called ‘Fahrradvorschuss’ (cycle loan-advance).

The promotion of non-discrimination for women and queer people is strongly supported at the HSB through various measures and by the efforts of the equal opportunity’s office and the women’s office. Action programmes for gender equality have been in place at the HSB for over 20 years.

We have focussed particularly on schoolgirls and female students who are interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Furthermore, we understand diversity as an opportunity. At Bremen City University of Applied Sciences, we are working intensively to implement the second action plan of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A glimpse at our action plan shows that we have introduced such measures on a larger scope: we are working on barrier-free communication, making studying easier, with adaptive workplace initiatives so that no disadvantages arise in the first place. Those with severe disabilities are supported with extended vacation days if desired or required.

Your personal and professional development is our reason for existing! Whether you want to develop your social and communication skills, media or methodological skills, leadership skills or personal topics or reflections with regard to mindfulness or health, we are happy to advise you on your options here.
