Welcome to the "International Students" section on the websites of the Student Administration Hanover. Here you can find lots of special information for students from abroad who intend to study or are already studying in Hanover.

Many offers and questions equally concern foreign and German students, still there are other bureaucratic necessities, legal rules and special conditions.

In regard to increasing internationalisation we want to provide manifold information to all foreign students or foreign people interested in studying. That is why we have extended our homepage with this section structured into the following sub-points:

Before the Study
… contains information about how to prepare study in Hanover: universities in Hanover, university admission and language ability, tips for entry (visa, proof of financial coverage, health insurance etc.), room-hunting, financing your studies.

Arrival and First Steps
… is an orientation guide for your arrival and is explaining which formalities you must comply with the first days in Hanover (registration, account, health insurance, registration at the university …).

During the Study
… gives useful information for the time that you are actually staying in Hanover: advice services, tips for financing, language, dine & wine, shopping, transport, medical care as well as culture & recreation.

After the Study
… provides information about what must be kept in mind when returning to your home country or prolonging your stay in Germany.

We hope you will have an interesting stay here in Hanover and wish you a successful study!
