1. Focus on journalistic and documentary storytelling<\/h2>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n \n\n\n\n\n

The course has a unique focus in Germany on journalistic photography, multimedia and visual storytelling. This sets us apart from other photography degree programs. This is how graduate Amelie Sachs<\/a> remembers itwho studied photo design in Munich before studying in Hanover: “I quickly realized that the course in Munich was too broad-based for me. It was then clear to me that I was mainly interested in photojournalism.” The course in Hanover was therefore just right for her. For student Hannah Aders<\/a>, the journalistic focus is also a special feature of Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts. She remembers: “That was the only option for me at the time, because of the focus on classic documentary photography. Bielefeld and Essen were too artistic for me.”

Since 2000, our degree course, formerly known as “Photojournalism and Documentary Photography”, has built up an outstanding reputation. Our lecturers and staff<\/a> all have many years of professional experience in visual journalism and know the industry very well internationally. They offer you professional advice and support in all phases of your studies. Through our connections to media companies and trade journals, our students have the opportunity to make important contacts for their professional future. For Elke Latinovi\u0107, Head of Crossmedia at ZEIT Sprachen, the Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography course also stands for an open exchange. She concludes: “All students find their way here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
