Leibniz-FH School of Business for International Students

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Leibniz-FH is a private, state-recognised university of applied sciences in Hannover that charges tuition: its Master's programmes cost 15,000 EUR in total (625 EUR per month over four semesters). All Bachelor's programmes are dual and require a study contract with a German partner company, and the Master's programmes are hybrid and designed to fit around a job, so they may not support a German student visa. Teaching is in German (B2 required), and the university publishes no information for international applicants, so confirm with the university before applying. Applications are recommended by 15 July for the autumn start.
