Studierendenwerk Hamburg has been a service provider for around 73,000 national and international students for more than 100 years and offers a reliable anchor for all students in Hamburg with its student residences, canteens and cafés, daycare centres, student financing and social counselling.

Whether as cooks, educators, administrative staff, tradespeople or student assistants - our colleagues give their all every day and are the tailwind behind the successful studies of our Hamburg students.

As an employer that is an institution under public law, some of our major advantages are that we offer secure jobs and have a corporate mission with a social and meaningful character - in other words, we are a non-profit organisation.

That makes us very likeable!

If you would like to find out more about the Studierendenwerk Hamburg and our various service areas, please take a look at our main areas of student accommodation, gastronomy, student finance, childcare or social counselling.

Tomasso Caligiuri – Carpenter at the Studierendenwerk Hamburg since 2020

‘As a carpenter, you get interesting insights into different areas such as the function of student residence,s cafeterias and daycare centres. My main work is repairing furniture, but sometimes I also build new furniture - it never gets boring. I'm passionate about carpentry, I enjoy working with wood and the work is also a hobby.

It's nice to make the students or children in the daycare centre happy!’

Francesco Costantino – Operations Manager cafeteria Geomatikum

Working with colleagues and the team is fun. The good contact and dialogue with the guests motivates me to improve. I enjoy working here. Just like the students and staff, we also have a variety of cultures and great ideas.

It's important to offer the best possible quality within the current framework conditions’

Andrea Rueffle – Project developer for daycare centres and flexible care

‘I develop and supervise upcoming projects in the daycare centres, from concept changes and occupancy to conversions. The aim is to develop projects that everyone involved can live with and that make sense in the long term (successful remodelling of daycare centres, splitting up daycare groups, etc.). You have to let go of the old solution approach, start afresh and deal well with the resistance that normally arises with change. ’

Cornelia Finke – Policy Department Student Finance Division

‘My work is very varied, I deal with many different people both internally and externally. I initially wanted to study, but decided to train as an office communications clerk. After graduating in 2013, I worked in the management secretariat and at the Infopoint until it was closed down. During this phase, I was given the opportunity to train as a clerk in the BAföG department. I later led induction groups for new colleagues there. At the beginning of 2020, I moved to the BAföG department, where I now work 100% and am very happy. ’

Samira Noussairi – House Manager in one of our student residences

‘My job is colourful and varied. It's not just about administration, but also about property management, services, craftsmanship, working with the departments, managing concerns and dealing with them. I particularly enjoy communicating with residents and colleagues and developing and implementing projects. It's nice to experience the joy of students, for example the new fitness rooms or a relaxation area in the outdoor facilities.’
