The Leibniz-Fachhochschule (Leibniz FH) in Hannover is a private, state-recognized university of applied sciences with a tradition of more than 100 years, which positions itself as a central educational institution in Lower Saxony for practice-oriented degree programs in business and computer science. It was founded in 2011 from the long-standing Berufsakademie Leibniz-Akademie e.V. and offers dual, part-time and full-time degree programs with Bachelor's and Master's degrees [1][2][4].
The range of courses includes practice-integrated degree programs such as Business Administration (B.A.), Business Economics (B.Sc.), Wirtschaftsinformatik (B.Sc.), IT-Security (B.Sc.), Embedded Automation Design (B.Sc.), Health Management (B.A.) as well as future-oriented Master's programs such as the Master Nachhaltige und Digitale Transformation (M.A.) and the Data Science (M.Sc.) which is currently in accreditation [4][5]. The Leibniz FH works together with over 150 well-known regional and international companies, including large corporations such as Continental AG, Deutsche Telekom AG and TUI AG, but also medium-sized companies and hidden champions, in order to offer its students practical training and excellent career opportunities [1][5][7].
The university sees itself as a partner for students, companies and the Hannover region. It supports students not only through application-oriented teaching and close support in small groups, but also directly promotes the transfer of research results into practice. The focus is on the qualification of young specialists and managers, who are ideally prepared for the requirements of the economy through the dual training system [1][5].
Teaching at the Leibniz FH places particular emphasis on a close link between theory and practice through alternating phases between university and companies. This proximity to business and practice has been a central guiding principle since the founding of the original Leibniz-Akademie in 1920 and enables students to gain not only sound specialist knowledge but also valuable professional experience and financial independence through remuneration in the dual study program [1][2][5].
In the area of Nachhaltigkeit, the Leibniz FH is particularly committed to the future-oriented Master's program "Nachhaltige und Digitale Transformation", which prepares young managers to shape sustainable innovation processes and digital transformations in companies and organizations. These initiatives reflect the university's ambition to competently address not only economic but also ecological and social challenges and thus contribute to sustainable development in the region and beyond [2][4][5].
The Leibniz-Fachhochschule stands for quality, tradition and innovation. Through continuous adaptation to current economic and technological developments and through close cooperation with companies, it creates a modern and future-proof educational space that offers young people the best conditions for a successful career [1][2][6].
Zusammenfassend: The Leibniz FH is a private, traditional university of applied sciences in Hannover that offers dual, part-time and full-time degree programs in business and IT with a strong practical focus. It cooperates closely with over 150 partner companies to prepare students for management roles in a practical way and focuses on sustainability and digitization in research and teaching in order to impart future-oriented skills.
