This page provides exchange students with information on choosing courses, registering for courses and receiving course credit at Leibniz Universität

If you are looking for courses to complete your Learning Agreement, please consult the course catalogue from the previous year. The course catalogue for the current semester will be available approximately one month before the start of the lecture period. You can update your Learning Agreement after arriving in Hannover.


FINDING YOUR COURSES

  • Course Catalogue

    For an initial course selection, we advise you to use our annotated course catalogue, e.g. for the Learning Agreement. At Leibniz University Hannover, modules usually comprise two courses (lectures, seminars, practical work, etc.).
    Please note: The current courses are only available about one month before the semester starts! For orientation, you should check the course catalogue of the semester before. Below you will find a guide on how to use the course catalogue.

  • Courses Taught in English

    You can search specifically for courses taught in English (foreign languages) in the course catalogue.

    The following guide will help you with that.

    Please note: Details on upcoming lectures are not available until shortly before the start of the semester!

  • Module Handbooks

    For an initial course selection, you can use module handbooks to choose your courses, e.g. for the Learning Agreement. At Leibniz University Hannover, modules usually comprise two courses (lectures, seminars, practical work, etc.). 
    Please note: Some courses listed in a module might not be available every semester.

    If you will be conducting a research project as an exchange student, please enter “research project” and the name of your supervisor at LUH.

    The following link lists module handbooks of various degree programmes:
