The Helmut Schmidt University / Bundeswehr University Hamburg is a campus university with an excellent reputation. With its four faculties, the HSU covers almost all academic disciplines of a classical full-scale university.
Notwithstanding its close ties to the Bundeswehr, the Helmut Schmidt University remains organised according to Hamburg state law in terms of its tasks, structures and rights. Research and teaching are pursued without interference, and the university is also autonomous in terms of academic affairs.
Our research projects are funded by the German Research Foundation, by federal ministries, the European Union and various foundations and indicate the university’s current research strengths. At present, we are involved in a Research Group sponsored by the German Research Foundation; furthermore, we have established a Junior Research Group funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and are connected to the Helmholtz Association and the Leibniz Association through joint professorial chairs. These are just some examples of the dynamic atmosphere at the Helmut Schmidt University and the higher education strategy it pursues.
The HSU’s Research Promotion Office seeks to establish framework conditions beneficial to research and offers a wide array of support services to our researchers. We will be glad to provide you with advice and support!
