Quantum mechanics determines our understanding of physical processes on a microscopic scale. More than a century after groundbreaking work began on quantum mechanics, technical developments based on this phenomenon – such as transistors, lasers and global satellite navigation systems – have become part of our everyday lives. On the verge of the second quantum revolution, the aim is now to pave the way for the application of fundamental quantum physics in industrial fields. In this context, the combination of knowledge and skills from the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering plays a crucial role. The degree programme closes a gap that previous degree programmes were unable to fill.
The programme primarily teaches students knowledge in all four pillars of quantum technologies: communication, simulation, sensors and computation. Once they have completed the programme, students will be able to use their technological expertise in individual specific fields of application to transfer quantum technology solutions from the basic research laboratory to practice.
Students may be required to attend courses in Braunschweig in addition to their regular courses at Leibniz Universität Hannover and a hybrid offering.
Approx. 400 EUR semester fee ("Semesterbeitrag")
The semester fee includes the following:
Compared with other European countries, the cost of living in Germany is quite reasonable. The prices for food, accommodation, clothing, cultural events, etc. are basically in line with the EU average. You will need around 850 EUR a month to cover your living expenses. The largest expense will be your monthly rent. In Hanover, the rent amounts to between 300 and 500 EUR per month.

Leibniz University Hannover: Shaping the future with knowledge
As one of the nine leading institutes of technology in Germany, Leibniz University Hannover is aware of its responsibility in seeking sustainable, peaceful, and responsible solutions to the key issues of tomorrow. Our expertise for this stems from the broad spectrum of subjects, ranging from engineering and natural sciences to architecture and environmental planning, and from law and economics to social sciences and humanities.
The main building of the university is the Royal Welfenschloss (Palace of the Guelphs) at Welfengarten Park. In 1879, the Higher Vocational School, originally founded in 1831, moved into the palace. Later, it became the Königliche Technische Hochschule (Royal College of Technology). Only 64 pupils attended the vocational school at first, but now there are almost 30,000 students enrolled in the nine faculties of Leibniz University Hannover and some 3,100 researchers working in more than 180 institutes.
Our key research areas
Leibniz University Hannover is among the world's leading institutions in its key research areas: biomedical research and engineering, quantum optics and gravitational physics, production engineering, and interdisciplinary studies of science and academia. These give us our innovative strength in developing precision measurement methods, optical technologies, novel materials, intelligent implants, and innovations in information technology or in the field of Industry 4.0.
The broad range of subjects at Leibniz University Hannover is entirely compatible with the overall university strategy of raising its profile, in particular in teaching and research, including the establishment and enhancement of research priority areas originating in the humanities and social sciences. Cooperation agreements with national and international partners strengthen our scientific expertise – our most important partner is Hannover Medical School.
By adopting the name of the polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 2006, the university committed itself to unity in diversity.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover is very influential in shaping the image of the state capital of Lower Saxony. Not only structures like the “Welfenschloss”, the university's main building, but especially people contribute to this: approximately 30,000 students are currently enrolled. They have chosen one of the largest universities in Germany that is known for its international excellence in teaching and research. With nine faculties and a comprehensive range of study programmes, Leibniz Universität Hannover virtually covers the entire academic spectrum.
