Events for Prospective Students.<\/h1>\n

Between now and February, there are several chances in Hannover to talk to students and lecturers on the programme. If you can\u2019t make the trip, you can get advice online.<\/p>\n

At the Medien_special on 24 November and 12 January,<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, 5 December, students invite you to \u2018Design probieren \u2013 Design studieren\u2019 (\u2018Try design \u2013 study design\u2019). 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also meet us at two openings<\/strong> at the GAF \u2013 Galerie f\u00fcr Fotografie. On Wednesday, 2 December, at 7 pm, the VGH Photo Prize 2026<\/a> 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\u2019s projects at the opening night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Campus Days on 4 and 5 February are Hochschule Hannover\u2019s information days about its degree programmes. Please note: they take place on the Linden campus, not at the Design Center. In the workshop \u2018Visual Journalism: What would you report on?\u2019, student Antonia Bretschkow<\/a> talks about the project \u2018A cup of closeness\u2019<\/a>, 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\u2019ll discuss what visual journalism needs to achieve today. And you\u2019ll find out how best to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can\u2019t come to Hannover? We regularly offer online portfolio reviews and study advice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
