General information

City	City: Hannover
Country	Germany
About the University	Die Juristische Fakultät der Leibniz Universität Hannover hat derzeit ca. 2000 Studierende. Wie an allen Juristischen Fakultäten wird auch in Hannover entlang den bundes- und landesgesetzlichen Vorschriften vornehmlich das Studium der Rechtswissenschaften angeboten. Neben diesen engen Vorgaben konnte sich die Juristische Fakultät der Leibniz Universität Hannover in den Bereichen des Internationalen- und Europarechts, der anwaltsorientierten Ausbildung sowie dem Recht des geistigen Eigentums und des IT-Rechts durch besondere Ergänzungsstudiengänge profilieren. Die Fakultät bekennt sich hiermit zu einer ambitionierten juristischen Ausbildung mit einer klaren europäischen und internationalen Orientierung, ohne freilich die Grundlagen zu vernachlässigen.

An Erasmus+ grant covers part of the travel and accommodation expenses involved in studying abroad. At the moment the Erasmus+ grant has been set at € 330 - € 390 per calendar month, depending on the country of your host university. This may change per academic year. Your application for an exchange period at one of the Faculty's partner universities also counts as your application for a grant. When you receive notification of a place for study abroad, you will also learn more about the Erasmus grant.
