Transferring to Leibniz University Hannover: applying for admission to a higher semester

If you want to remain in the same proramme (same name, same degree) when transferring to Leibniz University Hannover, please apply directly for the next higher semester. If the name of the degree programme or the degree deviates (e.g. from primary school to high school teaching qualification), you first have to be placed by your new faculty. The achievements you already have completed during your studies are checked and a decision is made in which semester you can continue your studies at the LUH. If in doubt, please ask the responsible contact person whether a further classification is necessary.

The classification for 1-subject Bachelor's degree programmes is usually carried out by the chairperson of the respective examination board. For a placement in a 2-subject bachelor's program, however, please contact the course advise. All contact persons for placement in a higher semester can be found in the section Examination information and course advise.

After having been placed by the faculty, use the online application portal to apply as a “transfer student” for the relevant semester. In addition, please also submit the study continuation sheet ('Studienfortsetzungsblatt'). In restricted-entry subjects (“NC subjects”), it is possible to apply by 15 January for the next summer semester or by 15 July for the next winter semester. In the case of degree programmes with open admissions, students can enrol for the summer semester by 31 March and for the winter semester by 30 September via the online application.
