Leibniz University Hannover offers teacher education students the opportunity to study at partner universities in other European countries and abroad. These universities are particularly suitable for teacher education students. You can continue studying your subjects or Educational Sciences abroad.
Please note that teacher education abroad is often organised differently than in Hannover. Therefore, it is usually only possible to study the subject for which you are going abroad. However, it is possible to check with the respective partner university whether your subject combination can also be continued there.
If you are a lecturer interested in a visiting lectureship at one of our partner universities, please contact:
