In 1831, founded by the scholar Karl Karmarsch, the Higher Trade School of Hannover started with only 64 students. Today there are around 21,000 students in the natural sciences and engineering, the humanities and social sciences as well in law and economics

Education

Shaping the Future with Knowledge – as one of the nine leading Institutes of Technology in Germany, Leibniz University is aware of its responsibility in seeking sustainable, peaceful and responsible solutions to the key issues of tomorrow.

Research

Interdisciplinary pooling of outstanding individual achievements at Leibniz Universtät Hannover characterises our approach to making excellent research internationally visible. This is reflected, for example, in our fundraising and participation in two clusters of excellence (EXC), six DFG-funded collaborative research centres (CRC), ten DFG-funded research training groups (RTG), and five ERC grants.

Campus life

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover is very influential in shaping the image of the state capital of Lower Saxony.
