Dr. Antje Stephan has been re-appointed as Chancellor of the University of the Arts (HfK) Bremen for an additional eight-year term. The Academic Senate unanimously confirmed the recommendation of Rector Prof. Dr. Mirjam Boggasch. On November 11th, State Councillor Irene Strebl officially presented the Chancellor with her certificate of appointment.
"I am grateful to the Academic Senate, the Rector, the Senator and the State Councillor for the trust they have placed in me. We have made significant progress over the past few years and I look forward to continuing our efforts alongside all members of the university to further develop HfK Bremen as a place of creative thinking and interdisciplinary exchange," said Dr. Antje Stephan.
When presenting the appointment certificate, State Councillor for Environment, Climate, and Science, Irene Strebl, emphasised, “Dr. Stephan has led the HfK with exceptional success in recent years, making it possible to expand Speicher XI even amid financial challenges. I am delighted that we can keep her in Bremen and look forward to our continued cooperation.”
Prof. Dr. Mirjam Boggasch is the Rector of the University of the Arts Bremen, leading the Rectorate. Joining her in the Rectorate are Chancellor Dr. Antje Stephan and Prof. Detlef Rahe, Professor of 3D Design. As Vice-Rector for Networking and International Affairs, Prof. Rahe plays a key role in strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation.
Prof. Dr. Mirjam Boggasch, Rector of the University of the Arts Bremen, stated: “I am deeply grateful that Dr. Antje Stephan will continue to bring her expertise to our university. Her integrity and strategic vision are invaluable to our Rectorate and to the entire HfK. Together, we will shape the future of our institution, creating new and exciting perspectives for artistic education and research.”
Dr. Stephan can look back on a varied and successful professional career. After finishing high school in Bad Bentheim, she studied European Studies at the University of Osnabrück, including a period abroad at the University of Hull in the UK, where she earned a Master of Arts in Modern European Cultures and Societies. She then completed a doctorate in European Studies at the University of Osnabrück, receiving her PhD in Economics and Social Sciences.
Her career began at the Forschungsinstitut Betriebliche Bildung gGmbH in Nuremberg, where, as a research assistant, she contributed to initiatives for the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, including the development of the German Qualifications Framework. In 2009, she joined the University of Passau, taking on leadership roles in national and international research funding and academic networks. She then spent three years as Managing Director of the Graduate Centre at Passau before being appointed Chancellor of the HfK Bremen in 2017, a role she was re-elected to in 2024.
About the University of the Arts Bremen
Around 1,000 students from over 50 countries, 64 professors, 85 administrative staff and around 150 lecturers make Bremen University of the Arts a lively place.
The HfK is a university of apparent contrasts. It is regionally anchored and yet extremely internationally orientated. It extends across various locations in the city, which are very different, from classicist to floating and contemporary. It is both an art and music university. This context, which characterises the university, is of particular quality and forms a framework that enables both collective and individual artistic development to be strengthened.
The study programme includes Fine Arts, Integrated Design, Digital Media as well as Artistic and Artistic-Pedagogical Education in Music. Since 2020, the HfK has also offered the opportunity to complete a doctorate as part of the artistic-scientific PhD programme, particularly in the focus areas of Integrated Design and Digital Media. Dialogue and collaboration are specifically promoted through open courses and joint examination supervision as well as workshops, studios and thematic projects. With around 400 events a year, the HfK is one of the cultural and social pillars of the city of Bremen.
The relationship between the members of the university community, their diverse collaborations, the close-knit supervision and the various regional and international collaborations help the students to develop strong individual characters. This ultimately results in work that is highly relevant to society.
