Starting your studies
Orientation unit
................................................................................................................................................................................................
An orientation unit will take place at the beginning of your studies. In this unit, you will receive all of the information that is important as you start your degree course, the semester groups will be assigned, and you will be registered for the computer network. It is therefore very important that you attend. You can find the dates and times on the orientation unit pages.
Preparatory mathematics course
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Strong math skills are critical to successful studies in Information and Electrical Engineering. For this reason, the Department of Information and Electrical Engineering offers new students the opportunity to test and refresh their knowledge in a preparatory course that runs during the 14 days before they begin their actual studies. This ensures that their skills will enable a promising start in the course. Please contact the Tutors for more detailed information: mathevorkurs-ti-ie(at)haw-hamburg(dot)de
The start of the prepraratory mathematics course will be announced here. Usually, it takes place two weeks before the semester starts.

Examinations and theses
Examinations
................................................................................................................................................................................................
The Faculty Service Office of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science is responsible for all questions and formalities related to examinations.
Registering your Bachelor's thesis
................................................................................................................................................................................................
If you want to register your thesis, the registration form must first be filled out and printed using the Student Information System (Stisys), then signed by the first supervisor and you. You then need to submit the form to the Faculty Service Office. The date on which you submit the form will be recorded as the thesis registration date.
Important: Please make sure to read the instructions BEFORE registering your Bachelor's thesis! Please also familiarise yourself with the instructions and templates for the final paper, both of which can be found below.

Master’s options in the Department of Information and Electrical Engineering
Master’s options for Information Engineering students (B.Sc.)
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Are you already studying in a Bachelor’s degree course in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and interested in one of these three Master’s courses: Automation Technology (M.Sc.), Information and Communication Technology (M.Sc.), or Microelectronic Systems (M.Sc.)?
Here you can find an overview of the entry possibilities for Bachelor’s graduates, as well as our academic advisors’ recommendations for a successful transition and what you should keep in mind during your Bachelor’s studies to prepare.
Forms
Study-related forms
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Examination-related forms
................................................................................................................................................................................................
- Application for a credit and grade confirmation
- Request for oral examination and minutes (in accordance with APSO-INGI)
- Authorisation to collect certificate documents
- Medical illness certificate (for presentation to the Examinations Committee)
If you have a health impairment, you may be able to apply for compensation for disadvantages (Nachteilsausgleich) in examinations. You can obtain more information from the representative for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Regulations for exams missed due to illness
................................................................................................................................................................................................
In the event of illness, you must submit a sick note from your doctor (Krankmeldung) to the Faculty Service Office immediately – i.e. within the three days following the examination. If a sick note is not received by the Faculty Service Office in time, you will be required to submit a medical certificate (ärztliches Attest). To ensure that a conclusive and specific certificate is submitted, the Examinations Committee will provide you with a form to give to your doctor (see above under 'Examination-related forms'). Please ensure that the certificate is filled out correctly, and especially that it contains the practice stamp and the doctor's signature.
In general, the decision about whether an illness is a valid justification for not attending an examination will be made by the Examinations Committee.
In the event that an examination must be interrupted due to illness, special conditions apply. More information can be obtained from the Examinations Committee.
In the case of a supplementary oral examination, an oral examination, or a colloquium, the examiner must be informed that the examination cannot take place due to illness.

Re-registration
................................................................................................................................................................................................
To re-register for the new semester, please pay the semester contribution by bank transfer within the re-registration period. Please do not pay before the start of the re-registration period as the final amount will not be determined before this period begins.
The semester contribution for winter semester 2024 / 2025 is €331.
Please also transfer the amount even if you are blocked from re-registering. The block can only be lifted if you have paid the semester contribution.
New re-registration deadlines as of winter semester 2024 / 2025
Winter semester: 1 July –15 September
Summer semester: 1 January –15 March
The semester contribution must be in the HAW Hamburg account by the last day of the re-registration period at the latest!
Important: Late re-registration can result in involuntary deregistration from the university. Subsequent re-registration is only possible within the appeals period. Regardless of whether or not deregistration takes place, an additional administrative fee of €15 will be charged for late re-registration.
If you are financially unable to pay the semester contribution, you may contact the Students' Union (AStA). In warranted cases it can provide you with a loan.
