Overview
Hochschule Hannover is a public university of applied sciences and arts in Hannover, Lower Saxony.
Teaching is organised in five faculties covering electrical and information engineering, mechanical and bioprocess engineering, media, information and design, business and computer science, and social, health and diaconal professions. Most degree programmes are taught in German and lead to bachelor's or master's degrees with a practical orientation.
Several courses are available part-time, alongside employment or as dual study, and some admit students in both the winter and summer semesters. Applicants with foreign school qualifications should check the language and application requirements of each programme.
International students can join the university in different ways: as degree-seeking students, through Erasmus+ and partner-university exchange agreements, as so-called freemovers, or through a joint programme with Zhejiang University of Science and Technology.
The International Office advises incoming students, and support funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) helps some international students with scholarships and an annual award. Students also find advice on residence-permit questions, housing and financing, as well as a buddy programme and language tandems to help them settle in Hannover.
