The TestAS is not mandatory for an application to the TUHH.

Results of the Test for Academic Studies (TestAS for short) can be taken into consideration as follows for all Bachelor's programs at TUHH:

• The applicant must hold a university entrance qualification to study engineering.
• The applicant must take the TestAS test, consisting of the core test and the test for engineering science. The overall test result must be at least 100. A subject-related university entrance qualification may then be extended to a qualification to the favored Bachelor's program.
• Let us assume that the applicant holds a university entrance qualification to study Electrical Engineering but wishes to study Civil and Environmental Engineering. He takes the TestAS, consisting of the core test and the test for engineering science, and achieves an overall test result of 106. The TUHH will then recognize him as being qualified to study Civil and Environmental Engineering.

Taking the TestAS can therefore be useful for anyone who does not hold the general university entrance qualification. Please note the registration and examination periods for the test. Click here for further information.
