University - The Particular

Small study groups, application-oriented education, even in the area of research, and numerous continuing education programmes for different target groups are just some of the features that set this university apart. Hochschule Hannover is now also an "open university". By opening university education to holders of vocational qualifications, work experience can be transferred to educational careers in higher education.

Study Programme - Main Focus

Around 8,600 students benefit from the diverse opportunities offered by studying at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Internationally oriented yet locally rooted, the Hochschule Hannover offers an exceptionally diverse range of subjects. In addition to engineering, economics and social services, the Expo Plaza campus of the Hochschule Hannover offers a wide range of media and creative degree programmes at an internationally renowned level of educational quality.

Background - The Insight

Back in 1791, the "Freye Handwerksschule für Lehrlinge" – the "draughting school" – was founded as the oldest predecessor institution of the Hochschule Hannover. In 1971, the Hochschule Hannover was created from different institutions, comprising five faculties at multiple locations in Hannover. Faculties I and II were founded as the successors of the "Ingenieurakademie", which itself had its origins in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the "Handwerker und Kunstgewerbeschule" (School of Crafts and Applied Arts) from 1892.

What's special here?

The "BrauAG" (brewing working group) of the Hochschule Hannover consists of students from different disciplines. Besides their passion for enjoying beer, they are curious about the optimal transformation of natural raw materials to a finished product. In our brewing cellar, they can develop new ideas for beer creations and implement them in initial tests on a 10L scale. Once a recipe has matured, it finds its way to the 100L large-scale system. The annual highlight is our participation in the international brewing competition of universities at the Technical University of Hamburg, which we even won in 2018! In teaching, beer brewing is part of the laboratory course during the compulsory elective module in bioprocess engineering.
