Part-time study
................................................................................................................................................................................................
The part-time course at the HAW Hamburg represents an individual extension of the original specialist course. It is not a separate offer with its own curriculum. This enables students to reduce the amount of time they study by up to half per semester. more information
For an individual part-time course, the course-specific examination and study regulations of the respective full-time courses apply. Two part-time study semesters are counted as one subject semester and two university semesters. The contact persons for individual study planning are the respective student advisors.

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.
Re-registration deadlines
Winter semester: 1 June–15 August
Summer semester: 1 December–15 February
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 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.
As soon as the semester contribution is credited to the HAW Hamburg account you can update your chip card, and with it your semester ticket for the public transport system. To do so, you must insert the chip card in a validation station.
Your future career
Career fields
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Biomedical engineering is a future-oriented technology. It is one of the largest growth sectors in the Hamburg region as well as nationwide and worldwide.
Key technologies such as imaging processes, computer-aided communication techniques and minimally invasive techniques in surgery are in the early stages of market development. A strong customer orientation also ensures good employment prospects in the globalisation of the markets.
Occupational fields
Typical jobs for biomedical engineers include:
- Marketing, product management and sales
- Development and service
- Application of medical devices
- Device management and maintenance planning
- Medical device and safety consulting
- Quality assurance and training
- Hospital planning and setup
- Clinical research
Customer proximity is characteristic of the majority of occupational fields and professional activities. Biomedical engineers are primarily concerned with device application, marketing and product management as well as the practical development of medical-technical devices.
The Master of Science qualification in particular enables scientific work in research and development and provides graduates with important prerequisites for carrying out independent scientific work up to the doctoral level.
