Frequently Asked Questions

You do not enrol directly in a Micro Degree programme.
Instead, students of Leibniz University Hannover register for the examinations within the Micro Degree courses using the appropriate forms provided by their respective faculties.

Professionals who wish to take examinations in order to obtain a LUH Micro Degree are kindly asked to contact the Centre for Continuing Education (ZEW).

The advantage of Micro Degree programmes is that they consist of modules that are partly integrated into regular degree programmes and partly taken as additional qualifications – with mutual recognition between both.
For example, in a standard Micro Degree worth 20 ECTS (4 courses), two courses may count towards your degree programme, while the other two can be taken as extra modules. In this case, you will receive the certificate for the Micro Degree programme.
Please remember to register for the courses through the faculty offering them.

You are free to choose just a single course, which can be recognised as a Micro Credential.
For our smallest Micro Degree (10 ECTS), however, at least two courses are required.

Yes, to ensure consistency and proper verification of your enrolment status, please use your official university email address.

The courses are free of charge. You only need to register with the examination office.

Deadlines may vary depending on the faculty and degree programme. As a general rule, you must register by the end of November for the winter semester and by the end of May for the summer semester.

Examination schedules are published for each course, and the lecturer will announce the details as part of the course.

The only requirement for being awarded a Micro Degree is the successful completion of the required courses within each learning path.
If you meet these requirements, you can still obtain the Micro Degree even if you fail an examination.
We do not track how many times you fail an exam.

Please note, however, that different regulations may apply within your regular degree programme at LUH.

Students of LUH first register for the examinations within the Micro Degree courses and attend them like regular lectures.
Please keep the transcript of records for the semester in which it is stated that you successfully completed a course within the Micro Degree programme.
Only after you have completed all required courses of the Micro Degree should you take your certificates to the Centre for Continuing Education, where you will receive the official Micro Degree certificate.

A fee between €5 and €20 will be charged to LUH students for the issuance of Micro Credential and Micro Degree certificates.

Certification fees for external participants of the LAI are included in the course fees for external participants.
