New Zealand

Capital: Wellington | Population: 5,1 million |Sights: Milford Sounds, Franz-Josef-Gletscher, Abel- Tasman- Nationalpark | Specials: Maori Culture, North and South Island

Swimming with dolphins, trekking in Middle Earth's Shire or bungee jumping from over 200 meters? In New Zealand everything is possible! Besides natural attractions like volcanoes or the New Zealand rainforest, the country with its two main islands also has a lot to offer culturally. For example, the Māori culture is strongly established in language and society, and the kiwi - bird, not fruit - is a nationally protected species. A student study abroad experience in New Zealand also broadens more than just personal horizons. Academically, the country's world-renowned universities have a lot to offer: whether technology studies or Māori Studies. A semester abroad in New Zealand creates unforgettable moments, intercultural experiences and friendships that transcend every border.

International Student Exchange Program (ISEP): LUH is a member of the International Student Exchange Programs (ISEP), a consortium of over 200 universities worldwide, and through this consortium LUH students can spend a tuition-free semester abroad at one of over 140 universities in North America or Oceania. The programme is open to students from all Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes at Leibniz Universität Hannover.

Freemover*in:  As a "freemover", you organise your stay abroad outside of an exchange programme. Here you have a very wide choice of universities, but since there is no exchange contract with LUH, you have to pay the tuition fees. You can apply directly to foreign universities or through an organisation.

Internships: There is also the possibility of doing an internship in New Zealand. Students in the fields of natural sciences, geoscience, engineering, medicine, and computer science may complete an internship in New Zealand via the RISE Worldwide programme. Teacher training students and graduates of teacher training programmes may complete an internship in New Zealand via the DAAD scholarship programme "Lehramt.international".
