Necessary first steps

When you start your studies at HAW Hamburg, you will receive your own HAW e-mail address, which we will use to communicate with you throughout your studies, as well as access to numerous services and offers.

The good news is that we protect your data in the best possible way. The not-so-good news is that it takes a little time and care to activate and set up your account for the first time. The best way to do this is at home on your desktop computer.

Use e-mail address and online services
