First steps: from applying to registering as a student…
Here is where to find the TUHH’s different application portals for exchange students and Bachelor and Master programs. As the application procedures differ, you will find your specific information on the appropriate application portal.
Preliminary courses, Orientation Week, StartIng@TUHH, Registering for the Library and at the Data Center…
The winter semester 2022/23 starts on 1 Ocober 2022. You can use the time until then, for example, for optimal preparation by participating in the Online Math Bridge Course (OMB).
Preliminary courses for all Bachelor’s students on the topics of basic IT knowledge / mathematics / programming are expected to start on 4 October 2022 and end on 14 October 2022. You will find the programme here at a later date.
This will be followed from 17 October 2022 by the orientation week (OE week) for all first-year students in the Bachelor's degree programmes. You can find the way to the OE week at a later date via the pages of the student representatives.
In the Master's degree programmes, lectures start directly on 17 October 2022.
StartING@TUHH – Support during your first semester:
Many questions arise during your first semester. StartING aims to help you get started with your engineering studies at the TUHH so that you can make the most of your study program. During your first semester our StartING tutors will accompany and assist you. For more about how StartING works and how to register, click here.
Counseling offered by the Central Student Counseling Service:
Studying at university can be a major change at first. You leave your family and friends behind, studying itself is a challenge, personal problems make it impossible to concentrate on your studies, and maybe you had expected something entirely different. In these and other case a chat with the Student Counseling Service can be helpful. For more about the counseling services that are available and how to register for them, click here.
Central Student Counseling Service workshops:
To help you to complete your study program the Student Counseling Service runs workshops. They deal with subjects such as Scientific Writing or Time and Self Management. To find out which workshops are on offer next, visit our website.
Students in the dual study variant take the module „Theorie-Praxis-Verzahnung“ instead. Registration for an NTA event is therefore not necessary for dual students.

Information about the basic internship for Bachelor programs…
Do I need a basic internship for the course I want to study? Find the answer to this question here.
If you have studied previously, before starting your present study program…
recognition of studies and qualifications will be an issue that is of relevance for you. The rule is that equivalent academic study programs (passed and failed) must be credited. To get them credited you must submit an application within six weeks of starting your course (that means by mid-November for the winter semester and by mid-May for the summer semester). You must attach a complete and final performance record from your previous university. If you have switched study programs at the TUHH a performance record will not be required. Recognition is regulated in Section 13 of the General Provisions of the Course and Examination Regulations for Bachelor’s and Master’s Programs at the Hamburg University of Technology, or ASPO (German abbreviation) for short.
The following statutes and regulations are especially important for your studies at the TUHH. They can be accessed via this link.
