Leibniz University Hannover offers its students more than just academic training. Activities involving sports, culture, the exchange of information and ways of finding employment after graduation are also among its offers for students.
From university sports to the big band, the orchestra, lectures, and courses on interesting subjects in all the faculties, there is something for everyone – both those who want to actively take part and those who just want to listen and enjoy.
Sports play the starring role at the University Sports Centre. The martial arts, water sports, fitness, dancing, and ball sports are all on offer. Students and employees at Leibniz University Hannover can choose from more than 100 different sporting activities to keep fit, including aikido, fencing, handball, climbing, riding, sailing or tango argentino.
In the year it was founded, 1921, the University Flying Club achieved a world-record flight. Today, the club's pilots continue to demonstrate their skills from the end of March until the end of October.
Students from all subject areas play rock, latin, funk and swing in the big band. Since the band was founded in 1993, its audiences have enjoyed a wide range of different sounds and catchy tunes.
The roughly 70 members of the symphony orchestra include students, teaching staff, employees and former members of Leibniz University Hannover and other Hannover universities, alongside other interested musicians.
Those who prefer singing to playing an instrument and like classical music can meet similarly minded students in the University choir. Participation in competitions and concert tours abroad is also a possibility.
Although officially based in the English Department, the English Theatre Group is open to all students at the university. Students who would like to participate should be proficient in English.
The Literature Salon offers many different insights and the opportunity to take part in exciting discussions. Almost every Monday there are readings, lectures and talks with personalities from the fields of literature, the media, science, and arts and culture. These take place on the fourteenth floor of the former Conti Building.
Every Tuesday during the semester, the Unikino Hannover cinema shows films on campus for students. It presents both current and classic films; theme-based film evenings are also held periodically.
