Bachelor programmes at the HCU

The HafenCity University Hamburg offers bachelor and master programmes in all of its disciplines.

The bachelor programmes of HCU Hamburg correspond, in particular, to the current demands for a professional education and provide the relevant foundation in the respective field of study. At the same time, the growing specialisation of careers dealing with the designed environment and its economic, social and ecological constraints requires graduates to be able to understand and work with a wider range of topics, problems and protagonists. It is thus important that students have a firm foundation in their specific disciplines; at the same time, they must, however, be able to deal with the different ways in which other branches of study view, understand and interact with the world. Due to the wide range of its specific disciplines, HCU Hamburg opens up this special understanding of the neighbouring disciplines involved in the planning, design and construction within building and urban development processes. Innovation in the special range of disciplines results in innovation in each of our bachelor programmes.
