In order to study at a German university, two requirements are particularly important: language skills and a school degree, which is recognized in Germany as a higher education entrance qualification.


Higher Education Entrance Qualification

International applicants need a higher education entrance qualification in order to study at Leibniz University Hannover.

  • For the application for a bachelor's degree programme, in most cases, the high school diploma from the home country is sufficient.
  • Applicants for Master's programmes require a Bachelor's degree or equivalent.

Further information can be found on our application pages.
