I have a dream to continue my education and make a lasting impact in my field. My overall study experience has provided me with amazing knowledge, excellent support from professors, and a truly inspiring environment that keeps me motivated every single day
At first I thought university was fun until I entered. I then got to know that it wasn’t easy. It’s very difficult and needs much effort before you can excel.
I worked as a house officer in combined military hospital and now working as a medical officer

HAW Hamburg is a city university and not a typical "campus university". Our university is split up over four locations throughout the city. We hope however, that wherever you study, you will feel at home.
Campus Berliner Tor is our main campus and home to the Faculty of Engineering & Computer Science and the Faculty of Business & Social Sciences. The faculties have their own libraries, labs and computer rooms on this site. The campus has a cafeteria and different cafés as well as a hall of residence directly on campus and another one a seven-minute walk away.
Sport and fitness are an excellent way of keeping your head free of study stress. As a HAW Hamburg student you can participate in the university sports programme or use the fitness centre at Berliner Tor.
We believe we are an interesting university with a lot to offer students who want to get a degree in Germany. But don't just take our word for it; look at what some of our international students have said about living and studying in Hamburg. And for a bit of feel-good, watch our "Happy in Hamburg" video made by international students.
The university has been institutionally accredited by the Science Council since July 2009. The original reaccreditation has since been extended from 5 to 10 years (until 2025), which validates our high-quality standards in teaching and research.
