UAS7 - Consortium of 7 German universities of applied sciences

HAW Hamburg has been a member of UAS7 since 2005. The consortium of seven German universities of applied sciences (HWR Berlin, Hochschule Bremen, HAW Hamburg, TH Köln, FH München, FH Münster, FH Osnabrück) opened an office in New York in 2006 in order to increase awareness for universities of applied sciences in the US and to develop collaboration in teaching and research.

UAS7 also started the SIP+ scholarship programme for US students, who want to complete a study and/or internship semester in Germany. As part of this programme the UAS7 universities offer classes in English as well as research projects in universities labs.

Through UAS7 HAW Hamburg has three partner universities in addition to the ten bilateral exchange agreements in the US: University of Pittsburgh, State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany as well as Drexel University. With these universities as well as with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German House in New York UAS7 offers panels and workshops on topics such as academic knowledge transfer, teaching and applied research at German universities of applied sciences.
