Bachelor degree at LUH
You cannot enter a German university after the 11th grade, because schooling there lasts longer than 11 years. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference. To do this, foreign students go through a preparatory year in special educational institutions — Studienkollegs. Before applying, you need to pass the TOEFL exam. The minimum score for TOEFL is 78.

LUH campus
The city campus of LUH provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Hannover has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Foreigners who come to LUH through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
