Study Exchange Partnerships

Student Exchange cooperations at UNIVERSITY LEVEL are in general signed with the School of Engineering at the Partner university.
In addition to this there are agreements on a DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL

• for specific schools of study and all the courses of study of that one school, (e.g. only for the school of civil engineering and all of its courses of study) and agreements 
• for one or more specific course of study of one specific school, (e.g. only for the courses of study 'shipbuilding' and 'ship- and offshore technology' which both belong to the school of mechanical engineering).

Please find out which school your own course of study belongs to. Before applying for the exchange programme check beforehand if the partner university offers enough matching courses.

Safety Note

When planning your stay abroad, please always check the current travel and safety information issued by the Federal Foreign Office. The TUHH strongly advises against travelling abroad if there is a travel warning.
