Universität Hamburg Campus

The University of Hamburg is the largest institution for research and education in northern Germany. As one of the country’s largest universities, we offer a diverse range of degree programs and excellent research opportunities. The University boasts numerous interdisciplinary projects in a broad range of fields and an extensive partner network of leading regional, national, and international higher education and research institutions.

The University of Hamburg is committed to sustainability. All our faculties have taken great strides towards sustainability in both research and teaching.

As part of the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments, the University of Hamburg has been granted clusters of excellence for 4 core research areas: Advanced Imaging of Matter (photon and nanosciences), Climate, Climatic Change, and Society (CLICCS) (climate research), Understanding Written Artefacts (manuscript research) and Quantum Universe (mathematics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology).

An equally important core research area is Infection Research, in which researchers investigate the structure, dynamics, and mechanisms of infection processes to promote the development of new treatment methods and therapies.

Furthermore, alongside 10 other universities and 1 university alliance, Universität Hamburg was named a University of Excellence and was deemed a German “flagship university.”

Universität Hamburg offers approximately 180 degree programmes within its eight faculties: Law, Business, Economics and Social Sciences, Medicine, Education, Humanities, Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Psychology and Human Movement and Business Administration (Hamburg Business School).

Universität Hamburg is also home to several museums and collections, such as the Zoological Museum, the Herbarium Hamburgense, the Geological-Paleontological Museum, the Loki Schmidt Garden and the Hamburg Observatory.
