More than 7,000 students at five faculties and two departments at locations in Hannover and Nienburg benefit from the multitude of opportunities offered by a course of study at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Fachhochschule Hannover - FHH). The university is distinguished by its fast-track courses and a strong emphasis on praxis in its teaching. The value of this approach is clear from the many FHH graduates who quickly find employment in industry. Integrating practical phases in the course of study allows the students to gather professional experience and establish contacts during their time at university.

Teaching and research, practical orientation, in-service training and ongoing internationalisation of the range of studies with worldwide networking through partner universities are the salient capabilities of this university. FHH’s multifarious application-oriented research activities also characterise its educational spectrum: the university’s four main specialisms are built around engineering sciences, media and information, economy and information technology and social sciences.

Proactive knowledge and technology transfer is essential if teaching is to keep pace with today’s rapid scientific and technological progress. These activities are indispensable to give FHH students quality teaching. Now and in future it is the aim of FHH to offer the best chances and opportunities to students for a successful start in their careers.
