We do not have set nomination deadlines for Internship mobilities. However, we ask that students be nominated at least 8 weeks before the proposed starting date of the mobility. An internship mobility is only possible if a proffessor is open to integrate you into the research team with your project. Please contact the international office and we will be happy to help you find a professor to be placed with!

Freemover
We thank you for your interest in an exchange semester.
We have always strived to provide incoming students an opportunity to get engaged with our current research and to intensify international bonds across the globe.
We regret to inform you that due to our limited resources, we are unable to accept requests as a freemover at the current time.
We are only able to arrange exchanges for students from universities that we have a direct partnership with. We are one of two universities that provide academic training for the German Armed Force, thus we can only consider requests from verified partner institutions.
You may find our partner institution’s here: https://www.hsu-hh.de/auslandsstud/en/startpage/partner-institutions
PhD Students
You would like to join one of our departments to get your PhD? Please contact our professors directly to aks for a possible cooperation in the field of your interest. Usually, our professors are very happy to sponsor PhD students!
Please be advised though, that our university does not offer a PhD study program and unless you acquire a working contract with one of our professors, you will only recieve a guest status at HSU. We do not usually classify PhD students as students, which is often needed for stipends or visas. If you need help with figuring things out, we are happy to help you!
Staff Exchange
You teach or work at one of our partner institutions? You would like to participate in a staff exchange and get a glimpse into the inner workings of HSU? You are very welcome to come and join us for a Staff mobility!
We will happily help you to find a placement in a department that matches your expertise and to make arrangements for a visit.
Staff mobilities are possible all year and do not require application deadlines. We simply ask to contact us at least 8 weeks before you proposed arrival date, so we can make sure to make your stay possible. Please be advised that our lecture free period from the end of June to the end of September might not be the best time period for a visit, as many of our staff will be on vacation.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or requests!
We look forward to your visit!
