As a prospective applicant you should carefully check whether or not you meet the requirements requested; if not, an application is not recommended.

Social skills

Special emphasis is given to training which prepares young engineers to work in teams and in an international environment.

Project Work

The project work is a two- to three-month full-time activity. Under the supervision of a university lecturer the student will be introduced to practical problems and scientific working methods. The project work can be performed at the TUHH, at an external institution which is not part of the university or abroad.

Master's Thesis

The master course is concluded with the master's thesis. Here students are expected to show that they are able to tackle a scientific problem without much guidance within a maximum period of six months. The master's thesis can be performed at the TUHH or at an institution which is not part of the university. In any case it is supervised by a university lecturer of TUHH.

Educational Methods

Lectures on the fundamental principles of each subject are given by professors. Tuto-rials concentrating on solving basic and applied problems as well as laboratory work in smaller groups are given by teaching and research assistants. Further support is provided by student's tutorials. Some 20 to 25 hours a week are scheduled as supervised instruction, and a similar additional amount of time is estimated to be needed for individual study. Courses are given in English language.

Self-test

A click provides you with a self-test. This test gives you a feeling for the type of knowledge we expect from you when applying for our master programme. Passing the test with a score of better than 90 % is a necessary condition to have a reasonable chance of successful studies in our programme. Please do not apply if you identify severe lacks in your knowledge!
