Why study at Faculty III?
Faculty III – Media, Information and Design at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers international students a practice-oriented and interdisciplinary study environment. It is characterized by a broad range of subjects, flexible study structures, modern technical facilities, and close academic support:
Faculty III – Media, Information and Design offers 15 Bachelor’s and 4 Master’s degree programmes in the fields of design, media, information, and communication.
International students also have access to a dedicated International Study Program (ISP). The program includes English-taught elective modules and is specifically designed for exchange students. It allows for a flexible composition of the study program and facilitates the recognition of academic achievements at the home university. Individual project supervision within the degree programmes is also usually available in English.
The degree programmes at Faculty III are project-based. Students can choose from a wide range of projects, courses, and elective modules to create an individual study programme.
This structure enables targeted academic specialization in specific subject areas, the combination of modules from different degree programmes, and alignment with the curricular requirements of the home university.
Faculty III provides open, cross-disciplinary workshops with excellent facilities. Students can approach the workshops with any project—regardless of their degree programme.
Access to the workshops is project-based and supported by qualified staff.
In addition, the workshops offer dedicated workspaces where students can independently work on their projects.
Faculty III offers excellent technical facilities, including specialized workshops, laboratories, and studios for practical work in the fields of media, information, and design.
In addition, computer labs equipped with standard, up-to-date professional software are available for use in courses and project work. The technical infrastructure supports both supervised teaching formats and independent student work.
International students at Faculty III are supported by a dedicated Study Buddy, who serves as the first point of contact within the faculty. In addition, each degree programme has designated contacts for international matters.
Furthermore, the central Incoming Team at Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts provides guidance and support before and during the stay, including assistance with visa procedures, accommodation search, and enrolment.
At the beginning of the semester, a Welcome Week with an introduction, campus tour, and orientation ensures a structured start.
