Reregistering After Completing Your Degree Course

The TUHH offers graduates who would like to continue their academic education after completing their degree course the option of reregistering as a student. Reregistering for further academic education is limited to two semesters. It is also pegged to an earnings limit that you must not exceed. The earnings limit corresponds to the basic scholarship amount of DFG (€1750 per month). 

You must specify on application form your academic interest and further education plans and you have to bring a letter of acceptance of supervision written by a professor of TUHH.

And please note: Further academic education is no regular course of study. It is only an offer of TUHH to acquire further knowledge in the field of engineering sciences. You will get the student status but without having the right to take exams. As a rule there is no right to be under the statutory health insurance plan, too.

Special information for international graduates:
Please note that the times of further academic education will count for the 18 months of a residence permit for job search!


Further information and application forms are available from the Studierendenservice.
