Strategy

From the very beginning, TUHH has had the ambition to be one of the most international universities in Germany. Today, it has achieved this goal with around 1,300 international students, who make up around 20% of its student body. Every year about 150 students take the opportunity to experience life in another culture by studying abroad. TUHH's extensive network of higher education partners makes this and other programmes possible.

The TUHH has successfully applied for an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) for the new generation of EU educational programmes, which are combined under the Erasmus+ banner. The Charter is a prerequisite for all universities wishing to participate in Erasmus+ programmes between 2021 and 2027. It was signed by the university president and is underpinned by the Erasmus Policy Statement.

A new internationalisation strategy is currently being developed to bring together and refocus all these activities.
