In the same year he passed the diploma examination in political science at the Free University of Berlin.

Until 1981 he worked as a research assistant at the German Institute for Urban Studies in Berlin, and was then a university assistant at the University of Hamburg until 1986 . There he took over the project management in the research area environmental protection and environmental design. Two years later, he was appointed professor of constitutional and administrative law.

Scientific focus

Edmund Brandt's work is explicitly interdisciplinary. In his opinion, problems these days can hardly be adequately addressed by one discipline alone. They can only be solved in cooperation with different specialist disciplines. Based on this, the focus of his academic work lies in central areas of environmental law, energy law, mobility law, as well as state organization and financial constitution law .
