Choosing what to study
Self Assessment - the test for self evaluation
Self-assessments offer tests for prospective students who do not yet know exactly which subject is right for them. They give prospective students an impression of the questions they will be dealing with within a particular degree programme.
Two types of tests are available for this purpose. Study interest tests can help you to narrow down the study options for yourself. Study aptitude tests can help you to assess whether a particular degree programme matches your own abilities and interests.
Important to know: These self-tests are not a substitute for counselling, but serve as a guide by testing basic knowledge relevant to your studies as well as organisational and logical skills. Not all personal inclinations and interests can be recorded. However, the results of the self-tests can serve as a basis for further counselling.
Self-assessments specifically for natural sciences
Would you like to start a degree programme in the natural sciences, but want to check beforehand whether it really suits you? Then you can find specific tests for natural sciences and teaching programmes here.
Good to know: Registration is required for most tests. By logging in, you can also interrupt tests and continue completing them at a later date. The tests are for self-assessment and are carried out anonymously. Use of the tests has no influence on an intended application and is not a prerequisite for study.

How do I finance my studies?
Although there are no longer any tuition fees in Lower Saxony, there are of course still costs for studying, such as the semester contribution, housing and living expenses and costs for learning materials. Here are some options that can help finance your studies:
The 'Studentenwerk' (Student Union) offers assistance funds for:
- Students with a child
- Students with a handicap
- Energy costs
and other support
The Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG) regulates individual financial support for students.
For advice and support, please contact the representatives of your department.
On its main page, Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) provides collected information and contacts on support options that can help with financing your studies.
Leibniz University Hannover awards scholarships every academic year to students in higher semesters and to first-year students and new students.
