Leibniz University of Applied Sciences (Leibniz FH) Summary
Leibniz University of Applied Sciences is a private university of applied sciences in Hannover in Lower Saxony. Leibniz FH is a state-recognised university for business and information technology. Founded as a university in 2011, the institution is supported by the Leibniz-Akademie e.V., with an educational history dating back to 1920. Today, it provides academic programs in Business Administration, Business Economics, Business Informatics, IT Security, Data Science, Digital Management, Sustainable Transformation, Project Management and Applied AI. On the Expo Plaza campus in Hannover, students meet more than 150 partner employers – large corporations, public institutions, medium-sized companies and hidden champions.
The course portfolio presented in this master file includes 4 undergraduate and 3 postgraduate entries. Studied: Business Administration, Business Economics, Business Informatics and IT Security (B.A.). Postgraduate choices are Applied Data Analytics & Digital Management, Data Science, Sustainable and Digital Transformation. Each entry keeps the official parent qualification and finds pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field, instead of inflating them into separate degrees. Where the institution does not itself award doctorates, this record describes only credible routes through collaborative doctoral research and states that formal admission is a matter for a doctoral-awarding partner.
Students applying for a double bachelor’s have to prove their eligibility for higher education, apply to a partner company, successfully pass the selection process of the company and sign a study contract. Then Leibniz FH matriculates them. For a master’s degree students apply directly for the corresponding hybrid program. Before applying please check the current program page for exact intake, teaching language, academic prerequisites, selection method and document route. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Admission to doctoral studies is separate from admission to bachelor and master studies . It requires a suitable topic , supervision , funding , and formal acceptance by the awarding university .
Dual partner companies usually cover the tuition for the bachelor’s, and they offer remuneration and equipment. For the active cohort, the tuition for the master’s and available 25% or 50% scholarships are published and must be confirmed directly. Tuition stated usually does not include housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding may include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium where available, DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, employer sponsorship, education funds, or paid research and student-assistant work; each award is assessed independently from admission.
Career preparation reflects Hannover's corporate, insurance, travel, public-service, automotive, health and technology employers. Career preparation is not a placement service with any guarantees. Students enhance their employability with a twelve-week theory-company alternation, projects, case studies, industry lecturers, professional certification, company theses and hybrid master’s assignments. Alumni and professional networks can offer mentoring, sector insight and contacts, but applications and career decisions are the responsibility of each student. The institution is particularly relevant for applicants who are interested in small cohorts, intensive business and IT integration, dual study programs funded by employers, and hybrid graduate programs for working professionals, provided their previous education, proof of language proficiency, study format and funding are compatible with the current program conditions.
