Industrial Engineering (HWI Hamburg) is academic and "cross-university" in nature. It uniquely combines the excellent economic expertise of university research with the outstanding practical networking of the engineering disciplines at the HAW HH and the HSU. Students experience these three different university cultures in their Bachelor's and Master's degrees.

HWI has access to the resources of the Business Administration department of UHH, Life Sciences at HAW and Mechanical Engineering at HSU. These include three libraries, three e-learning portals, computer rooms such as laboratories, learning and seminar rooms at each location.

HWI students are integrated via their final theses into current research projects of the Business Administration department of UHH, Life Sciences at HAW and Mechanical Engineering at HSU. You are therefore exceptionally free to choose the subject area based on personal interests.

HWI courses (B. Sc. and M. Sc.) are characterised by an extremely active student body. An association bundles all student activities: Sports events, mentoring and coaching programs, organisation of the graduation ball, national and international professional associations and networks, alumni work and student management consultancy.
