As an educational and research institution, HSB is a place where people from different academic disciplines, cultures and countries of origin bring their individual interests and characteristics together to learn with and from each other. External audits regularly prove that our measures are successful. For example, HSB was certified by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft as part of the audit “Vielfalt gestalten” (‘Designing Diversity’).

We also give sustainability a high priority for us in all areas.

The UAS professorship at Hochschule Bremen

In the fields of teaching and research, we deal with the current issues of our time – from sustainable energy systems to quality-of-life issues. We focus on applied-science-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches. Together with companies, scientific institutions and organisations from the region and around the world, we develop solutions for practical use.

Professors at universities of applied sciences pass on their scientific expertise and proven practical experience to students. In doing so, they enjoy a great deal of creative freedom and appreciate the versatility of their profession, allowing them to establish their own personal priorities.
