Employability rate
Graduates of this engineering field in Germany typically see an employability rate of around 86% and an unemployment rate of about 14%, reflecting stable hiring demand for energy and electrical engineering roles.
Together, these figures point to a generally reliable career outlook with clear opportunities in energy technology and related engineering sectors.
✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Higher education entrance qualification (foreign school-leaving certificate) | International applicants need a higher education entrance qualification obtained outside Germany that is equivalent for admission to applied sciences universities. If you completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) as your school-leaving qualification, HAW Hamburg indicates that you must submit preliminary review documentation (VPD) from uni-assist. |
| Alternative: recognised qualifications for university admission | Depending on the country and qualification type, applicants may apply based on recognised certificates that qualify for study at applied sciences universities. HAW Hamburg’s admission guidance explains that you can either apply directly if recognition is not needed or you must have your certificates recognised first. |
| Recognition and documentation for foreign qualifications | HAW Hamburg explains that you may need to have your entrance qualification recognised before applying, depending on which German-equivalent eligibility your certificate provides. |
Module matching by study area
| Study area | Match possible? | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Engineering | Direct match | The curriculum is focused on electrical engineering foundations and advanced topics tied to regenerative energy systems and energy management (e.g., modules such as Elektrotechnik and Elektronik, plus energy and grid-related engineering modules). |
Language requirements
The programme is taught in German, so non-German applicants are required to prove German proficiency at the level stated by HAW Hamburg for this degree course.
MOI (Medium of Instruction)
MOI waiver details are not published for this programme. See the English test requirements above.
💶 Fees & Funding
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Semester fee | EUR 397 / per semester | Semester contribution €397 including semester ticket and Germany-wide rail pass (published for the degree programme). |

📝 How to Apply
Prepare eligibility and qualification recognition
Check whether your foreign school-leaving qualification grants you a higher education entrance eligibility equivalent to German qualifications for applied sciences universities. HAW Hamburg states that depending on where and how your qualification was obtained, you may need certificate recognition before applying. If you use the International Baccalaureate (IB) route, you must submit preliminary review documentation (VPD) from uni-assist as stated in HAW Hamburg’s admission requirements guidance.
Apply online during the Bachelor application window
HAW Hamburg requires that the application for this Bachelor programme is submitted online during the published application window for the intake. The programme page states the winter semester application period as 1 June to 15 July, with the note that the application deadline was extended to 31.08.2026 as long as places are available. International applicants apply within the same published application window and submit their documents as part of the online process.
Submit your documents and language proof for admission decisions
Upload the required documentation proving your study eligibility (foreign qualification documents and any required preliminary review documentation when applicable). For this programme, HAW Hamburg indicates that applicants must prove German language skills at C1 level for admission. Make sure your documents are complete before the deadline, since admission depends on both eligibility and the required language proficiency.
