Admissions & fees

What it costs

For dual bachelor's programmes, tuition fees are covered by the respective partner company - students pay nothing themselves. Fee arrangements for master's programmes are not published in plain text on the official website; prospective students should request the current fee schedule directly from the institution. Leibniz FH is located in Lower Saxony, which does not levy a non-EU surcharge (unlike Baden-Württemberg or Bavaria). A standard semester administration contribution (Semesterbeitrag) may apply; the amount was not stated on the pages reviewed.

Admission requirements

For dual bachelor's programmes, applicants need a Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (German university entrance qualification or equivalent) and a training contract with one of the approximately 150 partner companies; the partner company typically initiates the application. For master's programmes, a relevant bachelor's degree with a 'good' result is required, along with both German and English language proficiency (specific test levels not published on the official site). International applicants from India, China (PR, HK, Macau) and Vietnam must present an APS certificate when applying for a German student visa, regardless of the university's own requirements. Applicants are advised to contact the admissions office directly ([email protected] or [email protected]) for current entry requirements, as detailed criteria for non-EU applicants are not published on the official website.

Application deadlines

There is no single central deadline. Dual-study applicants apply directly to one of the partner companies and are advised to start roughly 1 to 1.5 years before the intended start; formally, dual programmes begin on 1 September each year. Applications for part-time (berufsbegleitend) and full-time places should reach the university by 15 July of the enrolment year.

How international applicants apply

Not documented. Applications are made via the university's own channels (dual-study applicants apply to one of the ~150 partner companies, full-time/part-time applicants directly to the university; online application portal). The official 'Internationales' page covers outgoing exchange (Erasmus+, summer schools) and names no uni-assist procedure for incoming degree applicants; instruction is German-language.

Languages of instruction

Programmes are primarily taught in German. English language skills are required alongside German for master's programmes. The institution runs a Language Centre (Sprachenzentrum) offering Business English and other language courses. Short-term international summer schools at partner universities (University College London, University of Edinburgh, Barcelona School of Economics, Northeastern Illinois University) are conducted in English. No fully English-taught degree programmes were identified on the official website at time of writing.

Entry requirements, intake dates and language levels differ for every degree.
