The Helmut Schmidt University (originally known as the University of the German Federal Armed Forces Hamburg), located in Hamburg, Germany, is an educational establishment that was founded in the year 1973. The university is exclusively for officers and candidate officers of the Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces), hence its original name. However, despite the university's strict enforcement of this exclusiveness, a very small number of civilian students have been allowed enrollment to the school in previous years.
