Rental service technical equipment
***Update: The rental service is available now! (As of 8.12.22)***
All students rely on a working PC to attend lectures and seminars, complete homework and study assignments, or prepare for exams. This circumstance has been exacerbated by Corona and the switch to online semesters. However, not everyone has a laptop/PC that has all the necessary functions or has the financial means to replace a broken laptop/PC on the spot. Therefore, the Department of Social Affairs has set up a free device loan service in collaboration with Infocafé which offers students of the University of Hamburg the opportunity to borrow laptops and webcams with microphone function.
