An ideal stepping stone for the two alumni Rebecca and Manuel
50 years of Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts!
Since 1971, students have been able to complete numerous applied degree programmes, have done so and have taken off into a successful future. On the occasion of the anniversary, we let our alumni have their say under the motto "50 years - 50 alumni". What are they doing today and how did they experience their student days? In this video we find out exactly that from Rebecca and Manuel. University President Josef von Helden also gives an outlook on the future of the HsH. You can find more exciting alumni stories from all faculties and various degree programmes at our university here: https://hs-h.de/hsh50jahre

What if? Groundposter - Exhibition
Inner City Dialogue Hannover
The exhibition "what if..." shows student ideas for the inner city area of Hanover. The projects were developed at the Institute of Landscape Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape, Leibniz University Hannover. The proposed ideas are intended to stimulate reflection and provide impetus for new, as yet unknown uses in the city.
Dogs can discriminate between samples from SARS-CoV-2 infected humans and control samples
Diagnoses by dog noses – Dogs can sniff out patients with COVID-19
A research team led by the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo), in cooperation with the Bundeswehr, the Hannover Medical School and the University Medical-Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf, has carried out a study with eight specialised sniffer dogs from the Bundeswehr to sniff out people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The dogs were able to distinguish between samples from infected (positive) and non-infected (negative) individuals with an average sensitivity of 83 percent and a specificity of 96 percent. Sensitivity refers to the detection of positive samples. The specificity designates the detection of negative control samples.
Informations about part-time work during studies
International Students and Part-time Jobs

Insights into funded projects marking the German EU Council presidency
How does the European Union promote research and education in Hanover?
What is the best way to generate energy from the oceans? Which methods enable us to utilize quartz in a way that is not detrimental to our health? Which measures help us learn digitally and in the classroom? In Hanover, European subsidies promote the search for answers to such questions – interdisciplinary and internationally connected. We showcase three projects – at Leibniz University Hanover, Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine, and Ada-und-Theodor-Lessing-Volkshochschule Hannover.

Climate history
Lake Chalco in climate change
The effects of climate change on tropical regions are still poorly understood. However, they are among the most populated areas in the world. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) have now created both an age-depth model and a moisture distribution for the last 500,000 years from one of the oldest lakes in central Mexico, Lake Chalco. The results are clear: Central Mexico experienced recurrent dry periods related to the Earth's natural wobble.
