Application as an exchange student

Also if you come from one of the numerous partner universities of the Leibniz Universität Hannover (except Erasmus) you can spend a semester or an academic year in Hannover at all times. Please apply first at your home university.

Your home university may request additional qualification for the exchange places. However, you should have good knowledge of the German language in order to being able to follow the lectures. If you intend, for example, to follow an individual research project in Hannover, this can be effected in accord with the supervisor also in the English language.
Some degree courses offer a limited number of English taught lectures and seminars. Those can be found at:

• Courses in English Winterterm 09/10 (592 kB)
• Informationpackage 09/10 (928 kB)

Further information on the university and all degree courses offered can be found at:

• www.uni-hannover.de

For further information please contact Dott. Francesco Ducatelli in the International Office.

It is only possible to apply online:

Please apply for a place in the exchange programme at your home university. If you have been selected, you can apply directly to Leibniz Universität Hannover.
It is only possible to apply online for studying abroad as an exchange student at Leibniz Universität Hannover. With your online application you transfer all necessary personal details and information on the requested exchange place.

The form for submission of your personal and academic data is available in German and English. You can obtain both versions through the respective links below on this site. Please fill in the online form thoroughly since the data will be adopted as they have been submitted, i.e. typing mistakes in your postal address, for example, or mistyped phone numbers will appear on all documents which the International Office sends to you or to your home university, or e-mails will not reach you. Please attend to the exact use of small and capital letters. Pay attention to notifications of missing data which you might receive while filling in the form.

After completing your data, you will be shown a test site where you can check the submitted information, make corrections if necessary and then send electronically. After submitting your data, a PDF-document will open with your application form. Please print this document and supplement a passport photo and sign it and have it signed and stamped by the exchange coordinator of your home university. If you do not have access to a printer at the moment, you can also save the document first and print it later.

Your application cannot be considered if your own signature and/or the signature of your coordinator are missing on the printout of the online application form!

If you wish to change the data after the electronic transfer of your online application, please repeat the entire process. On the basis of date and time, we are able to retrace which is the recently received and presumably conclusive application that you have submitted.

Please send the printout of your application form with all the necessary documents (Learning Agreement if applicable, Transcript of Records and a proof of language proficiency) to:
