The programme includes compulsory courses, which provide students with the essential basics, and elective courses, in which they can focus on their own skills and interests. Several elective modules are offered in English. Since the teaching staff are appropriately qualified, students acquire important key competencies for their future careers at the same time. Interdisciplinary projects round off the programme.

Since the teaching staff are appropriately qualified, students acquire important key competencies for their future careers at the same time. Interdisciplinary projects round off the programme. The career-integrated distance learning courses "Structural Civil Engineering" and "Water and the Environment" are particularly noteworthy Integration module for catching up on basics.

The courses taught in English are attended by a particularly large number of international students. This enables an exchange of ideas on challenges in civil engineering in different countries and prepares students for interdisciplinary work in an international environment. Generally, a stay abroad is possible for all Bachelor's and Master's degree courses – for example at one of the many partner universities. Subject-related examination achievements from abroad can be recognised. Language courses can be integrated into the degree course for preparation.

The faculty has a unique research infrastructure for coastal and wind energy research – including a 3D wave pool, the largest publicly accessible large wave flow channel (GWK+) at 307 metres, and the test centre for load-bearing structures. Students have access to the collection of TIB, the Leibniz Information Centre for Technology and Natural Sciences and university library, which is located directly on campus and is unique worldwide.

Practical solutions to major societal challenges such as the energy transition, ageing infrastructures and the consequences of climate change are the focus of research at 18 institutes with around 300 scientists. The focus is on sustainable construction in and with the environment, the development and maintenance of robust infrastructures and the development of future-oriented concepts and technologies for smart cities and digital construction. The researchers are connected nationally and internationally through various research centres, initiatives and large collaborative projects.

Diversity management aims to recognise and actively promote diversity. Barriers are being removed and study and working conditions improved in order to enable an open, diversity-oriented university culture for students and employees. https://www.chancenvielfalt.uni-hannover.de/de/diversity-management; The fields of action of the Green Office of Leibniz University of Hanover include sustainability and climate protection in research and teaching as well as operational sustainability on campus.
