Thanks to a portion of your semester fee, we—as a major customer—are able to provide you with the Germany Semester Ticket in collaboration with the student councils of Hamburg’s other universities.
A large portion of your semester fee goes toward purchasing the semester ticket (€226.80, as of August 25, 2026). You can find more detailed information about how much of the fee goes to the HVV in the Student Body Fee Regulations (*hint*: The Student Body Regulations are usually more up-to-date 😉).
FAQ
How do I get the SemesterTicket?
Here's what you need to do to get the semester pass:
- Click on this link to register for the semester ticket. This is the link from the QR code provided by the HVV.
Alternatively, you can also log in to the university’s VPN and follow the university’s instructions (https://www-dev.tuhh.de/tuhh/studium/im-studium/rund-um-den-studierendenstatus/deutschlandsemesterticket). - You will then be redirected to the university's login page.
