    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions about the Master's programme at һԹ

    Which Master's programmes can I study at һԹ in Hamburg?

    At һԹ you can study three Master's programmes: The Master of Science (Msc) Innovation Management and the Master of Science (MSc) Digital Transformation & Stustainability as part-time programmes with a business management focus, and the Master of Business Administration (MBA), which you can study part-time or full-time.

    What is the difference between a part-time and a dual Master's programme?

    With a part-time master's degree programme, you study alongside your job. You can already have a job or apply for one through our JOB & MASTER offer. With dual studies, you apply directly to the company for a dual study place. Our Bachelor's programmes are dual, our Master's programmes are part-time.

    When can I apply for a Master's programme at һԹ?

    Applications are possible at any time. However, since һԹ only has limited study places and funding programmes are sometimes awarded after receipt of the application, and visa processes can take a long time, we recommend an early application for your Master's programme. If you want to apply for the JOB & MASTER offer at the same time, we recommend an early application to our university due to the longer procedure.
