A placement at a partner university is a requirement for participating in courses and having credits recognised.

The (digital) Learning Agreement is the document that contains details of the study programme abroad and the recognition of credits earned there. Students should aim for a study programme abroad that provides recognition of 28-30 ECTS credits per semester.

We strongly recommend to plan your semester abroad well in advance and in detail. Here you will find information

• on what you should consider when planning.
• checklists
• for visas, insurance, safety and accommodation.

The TUHH works together with universities worldwide in the areas of research and strategic development, as well as in exchanges of students and academics.
