International master's degree courses at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH)
The ongoing globalization of markets requires an increasing internationalization of education. Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is prepared to accept this challenge by offering two-year Master Programs in engineering sciences, taught in English language. The programs combine the strengths of German engineering education with an international orientation – an excellent preparation for a global working environment. The mission we follow in our research, teaching and technology is the development of technology for the benefit of mankind. According to this motto, students of many different academic, national and cultural backgrounds study and work together in international teams at TUHH. The teaching of methodology and the logic of engineering – “learning to think” – is a key aspect of education at TUHH. This is the way knowledge keeps pace with the rapid technological change. This sound theoretical foundation is rounded off by a well-balanced mixture of practical application in projects and thesis work. The Master Programs have an international character. Courses are offered in English and directed toward a diverse group of students from around the world. However, living and studying in Germany gives participants yet another exciting perspective – to become part of a vibrant city in the heart of Europe.
TUHH offers seven English-taught Master Programs in engineering sciences:
- Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Information and Communication Systems
- Information and Media Technologies
- International Production Management
- Mechatronics
- Microelectronics and Microsystems
Apart from that, TUHH offers four English-taught Joint European Master Programs:
- Environmental Studies
- Materials Science
- Global Innovation Management
- Communication and Information Technologies
The Master Programs last two years, with classes starting in mid-October. In the first year students take part in lectures, discussion sections, tutorials and laboratory work. A large project and a special seminar or a process design course follow in the third semester. The program is completed with a six-month Master thesis in the fourth semester. After the successful completion of the course, the Master of Science degree will be awarded.
