On this page we have listed a couple of the most frequently asked questions. See the box below for an overview.
FAQ about the application
Can I send my application documents by e-mail?
No, everything has to be sent in as paper copies by postal mail (- due to the coronavirus pandemic "yes" via pdf before the deadline 31 March 2020 to ias-team@informatik.uni-hamburg.de, for 2021 it has been not decided yet - most likely no). Please be aware that your application will only be considered complete once all of the required documents have arrived. Therefore you should plan for enough time for the mail to arrive before the application deadline! If you send separate documents make sure to add your applicant number (Ger: Bewerbernummer (e.g. BW-1812345), to be found at the top of your online application form) somewhere, so that the IAS selection committee knows who's document it is.
Do I need German translations of all documents?
No. We accept documents in English and German. If your original documents are in another language, you have to provide certified translations of those documents in either German or English.
Do all the documents have to be sent as certified/attested copies?
No, not for the application at the Department of Informatics - IAS. You can send the required application documents as simple copies. However, please be aware that once you have been sent a letter of acceptance by the CampusCenter (central administration), you have to send certified/attested copies of your language certificate, your university entrance qualification (e.g. high school certificate), and your bachelor's degree certificate to prove the authenticity of those documents together with the matriculation form within 14 days to the "Team for Application and Admission" (Ger: Team Bewerbung und Zulassung) at the CampusCenter of the Universität Hamburg. Therefore, we highly recommend preparing certified/attested copies of all the relevant documents upfront. The central administration team (CampusCenter Team for your enrolment, located at the city center) and the IAS Team (for your application and later your studies, located at the Department of Informatics, Hamburg Stellingen) are two very distinct teams and have nothing to do with the task of the other.
How much is the tuition fee?
The City of Hamburg is subsidizing tuition fees for all students in Hamburg. This means that you do not have to pay tuition fees for the Master’s program „Intelligent Adaptive Systems“. You only have to pay the student's semester fee which all students at the University of Hamburg have to pay. Every semester it is calculated and you will be informed about the amount. It will say in your offer letter and later in your STiNE account until when and to where you have to transfer the fee.
What is the semester fee?
Each student at the University of Hamburg has to pay a semester fee for each semester he or she is enrolled at. You have to pay this fee to get your student card which already includes a free public transport pass for the Hamburg area. More information on how this fee is calculated and the current amount can be found here.
I have sent the application, what happens next?
After the deadline has passed, the IAS selection committee will meet and rank all applicants that fulfil the requirements based on the selection criteria. Available spaces are then filled according to this ranking and all selected applicants will receive their letter of acceptance. Selected applicants have to accept their offer within 14 days. They do this by sending in a matriculation form together with all required documents as certified/attested copies to the University of Hamburg.
All applicants who fulfill the requirements but were not selected for one of the available spaces will be informed and put on a waiting list. They may still receive an offer if one of the previously selected applicants does not answer to the letter of acceptance within the deadline or declines the offer. In case the IAS selection committee decides that you do not fulfill the requirements, you will receive a letter explaining the reason. There will be no reconsideration of applications.
