To apply to Leibniz Universität Hannover from India, first confirm whether your program is restricted or open admission and start your APS certificate early. Route documents through uni-assist for a VPD, submit your language proof, apply through the portal, then enrol separately after the decision.

Once your eligibility, APS and, if relevant, dMAT are sorted, applying to Leibniz Universität Hannover becomes easier. Follow the steps in order and treat APS as the critical path.

Application Steps

StepWhat to do
1Confirm whether your program is restricted (NC) or open (non-NC) admission.
2Start the APS certificate process early, since it is the critical path.
3Route documents through uni-assist for a VPD if you hold a non-EU Bachelor's.
4Submit language proof: IELTS or TOEFL for English tracks, TestDaF, DSH or C1 for German ones.
5Apply via the university portal or uni-assist with your documents attached.
6Wait for the decision, then enrol separately.

Documents to Keep Ready

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Academic transcripts
  • Passport or ID
  • CV
  • SOP or motivation letter
  • 2 to 3 references

Admission and enrolment are two different steps for Indian applicants. Requirements can change, so check the official page for the latest list.

My Advice

Start APS the day you decide to apply, not after shortlisting. Build a checklist of the documents above, set reminders for each step and keep scanned copies ready so nothing delays your file.
