FAQs about CIT and the CIT universities

Why do you offer this CIT-Programme with integrated studies abroad?
International experience is an excellent ticket for an interesting job. In CIT, the guiding principle for successful studies abroad is “no loss of time and quality”. You will benefit from more classes that display cutting-edge expertise and with a bit of luck, you may even get a scholarship.

What do I have to bring along to study CIT or a TUHH course in the field?
In any case, interest in technology, enthusiasm for your subject and perseverance. Perfect preparation for the Bachelor courses are top High School grades in math and physics or computer science. Plus an appropriate Bachelor‘s degree with good grades, and fluency in English.

Who will help if I will get stuck?
Each partner university has well-trained staff to help you out. For example, at TUHH, we offer assistance by trained tutors at the entry stage („StartING“), moderated learning teams, and review sessions in small groups.

• During „Prof-Time“ (once a fortnight), professors will talk with you over a cup of coffee or tea about your studies, campus life, internships, stays abroad, research topics, your personal situation, career perspectives…
• Regular meetings with PhD students and professors provide feedback, especially during the project and dissertation phase.
• Trained staff of the Student Secretariat advises you on questions about enrolment, scholarships, exams, etc.

What can I do with the CIT double degree or another degree of your schools?
Our graduates work in research, development, design, prototyping, manufacturing – often in connection with activities in consulting, project steering and management. And of course as doctoral students at TUHH, PdT or AAU.
Maybe of some importance, too: Due to the strong demand for engineers on the job market, salaries are very attractive.

Where do your graduates end up?
In very interesting positions. You don’t believe it? Have a look at a few examples under www.tuhh.de/studium/studienbereich/et_it/vitae/

Where is Ha-R-burg? Is it not Ha-M-burg?
Ha-R-burg is a southern quarter of Ha-M-burg in northern Germany, near the North Sea (part of the Atlantic ocean). TUHH with its park-like campus is very well connected to the city centre of Hamburg (15 minutes by public transport to Hamburg Central Station, 20 minutes to the central shopping area).

I guess I want to see your university. How do I get there?

• From the airport, take any public transport to Hamburg Central train station (“Hauptbahnhof”).
• From Hamburg Central take S-Bahn 3 or 31 to “Harburg Rathaus” (town hall) or “Heimfeld”. TUHH is located exactly between the two stations. Enter building E (Schwarzenbergstr. 95) for the “Infothek” (Room 0022, Tel. 040/42878-2232) and Student Councelling Services (opposite doors, Tel. 040/42878-2776 and -4142, best fix an appointment in advance).
