STUDYING AT THE HEART OF A PORT CITY

Anyone who walks through the Speicherstadt and the adjacent Kontorviertel district of Hamburg quickly realizes how important the port city was for international trade in the last century, but also for establishing various corporate headquarters, institutions, NGOs, and associations. Here, where the world's traffic and goods flow together and there are huge shipyards, the economic and social interests meet.

Against this backdrop, a port city like Hamburg is a good place to reflect on the complex relationships between work, the economy, and society. Just a stone's throw from the docks, clubs, and pubs in the red light district and the philharmonic, the University of Hamburg is an even more appealing place to meet students from all over the world.

Check out this city on the Elbe, with its maritime charm, cultural diversity, the Alster lake, beautiful parks, and lively arts and music scene. A cultural pass, the Kulturfreikarte, also gives students in their first 2 semesters the unique opportunity to enjoy Hamburg's cultural landscape for free from October to January.
