Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg) Summary
Hamburg University of Technology is a public research institution in Hamburg, Hamburg. Hamburg University of Technology, also known as TU Hamburg or TUHH, is a small public technical research university with a focus on engineering, computer science, data, materials, energy, mobility, production, logistics and sustainable infrastructure. 1978 – foundation of the University of Technology Hamburg marks its institutional development. The new university was founded to improve engineering research and education in Hamburg. Today, its academic profile is based on the fields of chemical and bioprocess engineering, civil and environmental engineering, computer science, data science, electrical engineering, information technology, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, materials, microelectronics, naval architecture, ocean engineering, logistics, mobility, energy and industrial management. Location matters: The Harburg campus and the surrounding innovation locations link students with Hamburg’s port, maritime industries, aviation, logistics, energy, construction, manufacturing and digital companies, research institutes, start-ups and internationally active engineering employers.
The course portfolio presented in this master file consists of 16 undergraduate entries and 22 postgraduate entries. Subject combinations have been grouped under their parent degrees where appropriate. Examples at undergraduate level are General Engineering Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Vocational Education and Technology, Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, with later entries in Naval Architecture, Technomathematics, Engineering and Management – Logistics and Mobility . Aeronautics Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering Civil Engineering Computational Methods and Machine Learning in Engineering Computer Science Computer Science in Engineering Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Theoretical Mechanical Engineering Water and Environmental Engineering Postgraduate study encompasses . Each course is still a parent qualification, and specialisations are recorded in the course entry, not masquerading as distinct degrees.
Admission control at program level. Applicants follow the online application path of the university and the exact program notice. Bachelor’s, German taught master’s, international master’s, restricted programs, foreign qualifications, dual or joint formats different documents, language proof, academic requirements and deadlines. Applicants should check the teaching language, semester of entry, subject requirements, selection process and document path before applying. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may ask for module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience, or interviews. Entry to a doctorate is distinct from admission to a bachelors or masters degree and generally requires a viable research proposal, eligible supervision and formal acceptance by the relevant faculty.
There is no general tuition for regular degree study. The semester contribution for the winter semester 2026/27 is €400. This includes the student services, the student representation, the administrative components and the Germany semester ticket. There may be separate charges for continuing education or special programs. These institutional fees do not include rent, health insurance, food, learning materials, residence formalities, project costs or personal travel. Special tuition may be applied in the case of continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree or long-term study formats, if provided for by the relevant law or program regulation. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards, but each funding application is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation is a reflection of the subject mix of the university, not a guarantyd placement scheme. Internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis developed in cooperation with an external partner can all help to improve professional readiness.
