The HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU) is the University of The Built Environment and Metropolitan Development. The education and research at the HCU Hamburg are aimed at contemplating and concretizing what the future of metropolitan areas could and should look like. Coping with this future will, however, require a systematic interdisciplinary as well as a transdisciplinary approach. For this reason, the HCU offers the entire range of disciplines required for understanding and designing the urban environment:

• Architecture, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, Urban Planning – in each case as a Bachelor’s degree with the option to continue studying to obtain a Master’s degree
• Metropolitan Culture – as a Bachelor program
• Urban Design and Resource Efficiency in Architecture and Planning (REAP) – as interdisciplinary Master’s degrees
• Interdisciplinary courses of study (FaSt), cross-curricular programs, an inter- and transdisciplinary programs, complements the curriculum of the individual study programs at the HCU.
