University of Hannover

In 1831, founded by the scholar Karl Karmarsch, the “Higher Trade School of Hannover” started with only 64 students. Today there are more than 25,000 students in the natural sciences and engineering, the humanities and social sciences as well as in law and economics.
In the future, too, studying, teaching and research are to be enjoyable, and therefore one of the declared goals of Leibniz Universität Hannover is to continually improve the quality of teaching and research.
Leibniz Universität Hannover attaches great importance to all forms of continuing education. The university offers postgraduate courses and supplementary courses, studying while working, and further training courses. All University personnel, as well as any guest or senior students are free to take advantage of these offers. More than 6000 people participate in this wide range of courses each year. In addition, Leibniz Universität Hannover either hosts or organizes a large number of scientific conferences and courses for those employed in business.
