Dear students,

In order to learn more about how students like you feel about your studies, a student survey specifically focused on the Faculty’s degree programs will be starting on May 6. Are there areas that could be improved? Do you see things that need to be changed in order to make your studies as smooth as possible? What do you think about the structure of your studies?

Praise or criticism: your feedback matters!

Please set aside 15 minutes to complete the survey. Your participation will help us to improve your program! The official invitation will be sent to your student email address from “Befragungen@uni-hamburg.de”

And what happens with your response?

We’ll evaluate all responses anonymously and discuss the results with the relevant Qualitätszirkel. Members of the Qualitätszirkel include your student representatives, teachers, other academic faculty, and representatives of the Academic Office. Together, they will aim to solve identified issues and improve processes where relevant and possible.

You’d like to be even more involved?

Join your program’s Qualitätszirkel for the chance to directly share ideas for changes and improvements. There you’ll be part of the discussion and planning of your program. Register your interest with your program’s coordinator at the Academic Office.

Dear students,

As summer semester 2024 is about to begin, we at the faculty’s Department of Academic Affairs wanted to take the chance to introduce ourselves. It’s our job to support you during your studies and to help you find a solution if you run into any challenges. We’re divided into three Academic Offices and one International Office.

How can you reach us?

Your Academic Office is your first point of contact for all questions regarding the organization of your studies and teaching. Depending on what you are studying, you can find us at the following locations: Von-Melle-Park 9 (Socioeconomics), Von-Melle-Park 5 (Economics and Social Sciences) and of course online (see links below).

What can we help you with?

We are responsible if...

... you find an error in your STiNE account or you cannot register or deregister for courses and exams.

... you would like to have coursework that you have already completed elsewhere recognized and credited to your current study program.

... you would like to register for your final thesis, you would like to report sick or you would like to claim compensation for a disadvantage.

And, of course, we can advise you on everything to do with your studies and degree program – which we particularly enjoy!

If you want to go abroad, then the International Office is your point of contact!

To learn more about the Department of Academic Affairs and the services we offer, feel free to come to our service points or drop by during office hours, or have a look at our website. Your questions are always welcome!

The general registration period for Winter Semester 2024/25 will take place from Monday 2 September 2024 9 am to Thursday 19 September 2024 1 pm. There is a separate registration period for the courses of the first semester. An overview of all registration phases for this semester can be found here.

 Where do I have to register?

Registration for courses is only possible via STiNE and only during the registration phases. Participation in courses and examinations always requires an accepted course registration and a successful examination registration.

 Am I automatically registered for an examination?

Yes, once you have accepted registration for a course, you are also registered for the associated examination. Only if you select "Date in a later semester" during the registration process will you not be registered for an examination.

Until when can I register for and deregister from an examination?

It is not possible to register for or deregister from examinations at any time, but only within certain deadlines. Find out about the applicable registration and cancellation deadlines at the latest after you have accepted registration for a course.

For written examinations, take-home examinations (THE) and oral examinations, you can register and cancel your registration up to 72 hours before the start of the respective examination. Example: The written or THE examination begins on a Monday at 10 am. In this case, students can deregister from the examination until 10 am on the preceding Friday.

For all other types of examinations (e.g. term papers, essays, project work or written assignments), the registration and cancellation deadlines may vary. You can find the deadline applicable to the respective examination under the menu item "My examinations" in your STiNE account and in the comments on the corresponding course.

Please note that the deadlines and regulations mentioned only apply to the WiSo Faculty.
