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 handle 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 super-vised instruction, and a similar additional amount of time is estimated to be needed for individual study. Courses are given in English language.
