The programme comprises a set of courses which address three more specific areas of the subject:

Social skills

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

Project Work

Project work with lectures 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 processing 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 course of study is concluded with the master's thesis. Here students are expected to show that they are able to deal with a problem of their specialist subject independently according to scientific methods within a maximum period of six months. Students have to do research on their own and gain experience in scientific work. The master's thesis can be performed at the TUHH or at an institution which is not part of the university. It is supervised by a university lecturer of the TUHH.

Educational Methods

Lectures on the fundamental principles of each subject are given by professors. Tutorials 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.
