Further Qualification and Personnel Development

A high level of qualification and lifelong learning are in the common interest of all employees and Hamburg University of Technology itself. Training courses are work-related and thus take place during working hours. (These courses are usually in German.) As with other kinds of work, the "plus units" (overtime) acquired can be taken off as free time at a later date. Here you can find details of current training options.

For teaching staff the Centre for Teaching and Learning (ZLL) offers advice and further qualification (in German) on topics related to university teaching.

Training and Support specifically for PhD candidates is provided by the Graduate Academy for Technology and Innovation.

Additional qualification (in German) for employees of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (FHH) are available from the Zentrum für Aus- und Fortbildung (ZAF) and the Hanse Akademie.

Hamburg University of Technology has a comprehensive library, the TUB, at Denickestrasse 22. This library is available to all employees free of charge. You can apply for a library card to borrow and order literature and obtain further information at https://www.tub.tuhh.de/service/neu-hier/

Printing, Scanning and Copying

Despite digitalisation in the working world, printing, scanning and copying are still very much a part of everyday work at Hamburg University of Technology. As a rule every office at the TUHH has its own printer. For help, please contact your institute’s office or Hamburg University of Technology's Computer Center.

Each building has photocopiers of its own with a scan function. Colleagues, who work in institutes, will receive cards for the photocopiers from their institute’s office. In the event of malfunction you are requested to inform the caretaker.

Hamburg University of Technology's Computer Center also provides copying facilities in different formats:

Work Safety

A major concern at Hamburg University of Technology is the health and safety of its employees. This includes a range of aspects from safety in labs or at machines to healthy posture and appropriate lighting in offices. Every employee is required by Sections 15 and 16 of the Occupational Safety Act to contribute to protecting the health and safety of all. The first people to contact with any questions or requests are your boss or the safety officer of your department or institute.

In addition, the Occupational Safety, Environmental and Health Protection Unit  (AUG) will be pleased to answer any questions on the subject. Please contact: Mr Holger Robbert (040/42878-4753).
