Universität Hamburg, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg and Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Politik

Hamburg is one of Germany’s most important study locations with more than 70,000 students and 11 institutions of higher education ranging from the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Politik to the Technische Universität. Two thirds of its students are registered at the Universität Hamburg. Each year in the Hanseatic city, 858 professors conduct 1,200 diploma examinations and almost 1,000 state examinations. The university’s 19 departments offer a very wide range of subjects. In line with Hamburg’s image as the “gateway to the world”, the university also places great emphasis on international contacts. The north German university runs exchange programs for professors and students with more than 40 higher education institutions worldwide. Although much smaller, the Bucerius Law School has a very high international standing. The private law school was only founded in 1999 and its central focus is business law.
