Unique on this platform — LUH/ForWind is a leading wind-energy research hub, directly on the renewable-energy theme. Confirmed German-taught: the programme FAQ states the course of study is generally in German, with most lectures in German and some lectures in English, and the programme does not appear on LUH’s English-language degree list. Hannover hosts the Hannover Messe annually in April — the world's largest industrial trade fair — giving LUH students local access to 6,500+ exhibitors and direct industry networking opportunities.

Deadlines & timeline
| Who | Intake | Deadline | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-EU applicants | Winter semester | Non-EU/EEA-degree holders close six weeks earlier than EU applicants because a uni-assist VPD must be obtained first (itself taking weeks) — start the VPD process well before this date. | |
| EU / German-degree applicants | Winter semester | EU/EEA-degree holders (and holders of a German degree) apply directly in the LUH portal, no VPD required. |

Leibniz Universität Hannover is a Lower Saxony public university — €0 tuition for all students, including non-EU. The semester contribution is €453.16 (WS 2026/27, confirmed on LUH's own Rückmeldung page) — the highest in Germany, but roughly €270 of it funds the Deutschlandsemesterticket (nationwide regional transport, historically very wide-reaching to Kassel, Bielefeld, Lübeck, Hamburg and Bremen, plus 30 free sprintRad bike-share minutes per trip in Hannover), with the remainder covering Studierendenwerk and student-body fees. No application fee to LUH, but a non-EU/EEA degree requires a uni-assist VPD (€75 for the first application). The AStA offers interest-free loans for the semesters when the contribution falls due. Fully exempt on an approved leave semester (Beurlaubung).
