Step 1: Selection of possible host universities

Please inform yourself about your preferred universities and note the semester times and deadlines, the courses offered, the language of instruction, etc.

Submit your application to the International Office using the following documents:

Online form;
Current certificate of performance;
Copy of bachelor's certificate;
Letter of motivation (approximately one page);
Curriculum vitae; and
Signed acknowledgement of the leaflet titled "Information on the application procedure for the interdisciplinary exchange programmes of the TUHH (not ERASMUS)."

The Deputy Dean International, Prof. Lüthje, allocates the applicants to the cooperation places. For this purpose, the applicants are invited to short interviews in which they can once again clarify their motivation and goals.

Step 2: Application to the host university

After the TUHH has nominated or allocated exchange places, the next step is for students to apply directly to the relevant host university. Erasmus exchange students receive information from Ms. Wilberg at the International Office.

Submit your application directly to the host university.
Please find further information on the relevant partner university's website.
IMPORTANT! Only after the guest university has confirmed your stay, you can finalise all the arrangements related to your stay (flights, accommodation, etc.).

STEP 3: Planning the courses

The Learning Agreement (Erasmus) or the Study Contract (Studienvertrag) (non-European) must be completed in advance for the courses that the student plans to attend.

Please send the Learning Agreement/Study Contract and the host university's relevant course descriptions (in Word or PDF format) to Ms. Dobberitz (s.dobberitz(at)tuhh.de). After successful validation, your documents will be forwarded for signature to your head of the study program.

The documents must be signed by the following persons:
