Our new German (DaF) courses and workshops for international students take you through the whole process from hunting for a job, to applying, to starting your career. Our courses and workshops also prepare you for key aspects of the German job market, and help you build intercultural competence.

Our networking events put international students in touch with employers that have an open corporate culture, and truly care about the career development of their international employees. The TUHH Alumni & Career Talks are a further opportunity to hear successful international alumni speak about how they started their own careers in Germany.

We arrange regular excursions, providing opportunities for international students to get to know different companies, and network throughout Germany. Whether it is a trip to Berlin with a visit to the Bundestag or a boat trip on the Elbe, these excursions help students to drop anchor in Germany, to feel at home with German culture, and to take their first steps in their careers.

As of winter semester 2024/25, the Career Center offers a certificate in Agile Project Management & Leadership (a microcredential worth 4 ECTS). As part of the Fishing for Experience programme, you can work on a real company project, putting agile project management skills into practice.

We are continually expanding our business network under the motto “Norden Weltoffen” (Northern Germany – Open to the World). We put students and graduates in touch with companies that have an open corporate culture. We will also be offering networking events and tangible opportunities for companies that want to hire international talent.
