Biotech & Environment – exchange students
Campus Bergedorf has a special focuse on teaching and research in renewable energies and environmental engineering, and the HAW Hamburg Energy Research Campus is also situated nearby. This reflects the city of Hamburg's strategic focus on renewable energies and Germany's renewable energy cluster. The Faculty of Life Sciences also has a focus on biotechnology with Bachelor and Master degrees in this area. The Master degrees in renewable energy systems and pharmaceutical biotechnology are taught completely in English.
Each summer semester (April–July) exchange students from our partner universities can gain insight into this expertise by taking classes in English. We offer opportunities at undergraduate and graduate level:
Biotech and Environment – undergraduate classes in English
- Applied Hydrobiology & Ecotoxicology
- Renewable Energies – Fuel Cells*
- Renewable Energies – Photovoltaic Applications*
- Sustainable Energy Economics
* these two classes are taken as one exam
Download the module handbook for more information about the classes.
If capacity allows, exchange students can also take one or two classes in Nutrition and Health.
Application deadline:
Summer semester (April–July): 30 October
(open to: exchange students from partner universities and Global E3 partners only)
