Events for Prospective Students.
Between now and February, there are several chances in Hannover to talk to students and lecturers on the programme. If you can’t make the trip, you can get advice online.

At the Medien_special on 24 November and 12 January, the media programmes of Faculty III introduce themselves at the Design Center with short workshops and mini tours. You can also get feedback on your portfolio. Taking part is free, but please register.
On Saturday, 5 December, students invite you to ‘Design probieren – Design studieren’ (‘Try design – study design’). They organise the day themselves and tell you first-hand what life at Hochschule Hannover is really like. Feel free to bring your own work.
You can also meet us at two openings at the GAF – Galerie für Fotografie. On Wednesday, 2 December, at 7 pm, the VGH Photo Prize 2026 and the VGH Sponsorship Award will be presented there, and the exhibition shows work by our students. On Wednesday, 20 January, at 7 pm, graduates present their bachelor’s projects at the opening night.
The Campus Days on 4 and 5 February are Hochschule Hannover’s information days about its degree programmes. Please note: they take place on the Linden campus, not at the Design Center. In the workshop ‘Visual Journalism: What would you report on?’, student Antonia Bretschkow talks about the project ‘A cup of closeness’, in which students explored how real encounters between strangers can happen. She also shares what she has learned about the art of listening and about her work as a photographer on a sea rescue ship. Together you’ll discuss what visual journalism needs to achieve today. And you’ll find out how best to apply.
Can’t come to Hannover? We regularly offer online portfolio reviews and study advice.
