About HAW
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) — public non-profit institution. It is located in Hamburg, Germany. It is one of the youngest higher education institutions in the country.
HAW does research in different fields of study and invites students to bachelor and master programs.
The academic calendar at HAW is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Germany. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. For up-to-date information on scholarships and the cost of education for each program, check the official website of the educational institution.
It is necessary to pay attention to other costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, food, and personal expenses.
You cannot enter a German university after the 11th grade, because schooling there lasts longer than 11 years. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference. To do this, foreign students go through a preparatory year in special educational institutions — Studienkollegs. Before submitting documents to the university, applicants take an English language exam. The university accepts the results of IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score is 6. The TOEFL score is not lower than 87.

HAW campus
The campus of HAW is located in Hamburg. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. HAW regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
To stay in Germany after graduation for another 18 months, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work without an offer from an employer. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
