Short description: With some exceptions the students of the University of the Federal Armed Forces are young officers mainly from Germany, but also from other countries. However, a program to accept students unrelated to the Armed Forces is going to be established. – Although financed by the Ministry of Defence, the university is part of the Hamburg university system; its curricula in the four departments (Humanities, Social Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering) are similar to those taught at the two other Hamburg universities. There is a close cooperation in research and teaching. – Apart from its students, the University differs from other German State universities in two respects: the academic year is divided into terms instead of semesters which means that a B.A. and an M.A. degree can be obtained within two and a half or three and a half years respectively. The students are also required to attend lectures and seminars in a subject of a different department. – For advanced studies in the history of technology, the Universität der Bundeswehr welcomes excellent graduate students as PhD candidates.
