Faculties and Programs

Welcome to your studies at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences or at the Faculty of Business Administration.

The International Office is responsible for all guest students enrolled or looking to enroll at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences or at the Faculty of Business Administration.

Please note:

Incoming students are only able to take courses available for international guest students. There are some restrictions unfortunately. Please do not forget to put the course code/course number on your Learning Agreement (we do not accept any LAs without it) and do not mix the courses from different study levels (under- and postgraduate, “Bachelor” and “Master”). Important: as a student of the Faculty of Business Administration (HBS) you will not be able to take courses from the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences and vice versa (you should know by now which faculty you belong to). Registration for the courses and the language courses (not intensives) takes place during the beginning of the term (10 first days) directly in Hamburg. All questions concerning course choice, credits etc. will be answered during our Welcome Week in Hamburg.
