University: Founded in 1831, Leibniz University Hannover has an enrollment of about 21,000 students. The nine faculties include architecture, education, engineering, horticulture, humanities, management, science, and social sciences.
Location: Hannover is the capital of Niedersachsen, a state in north-central Germany. The city has a population of just over 600,000 and consists of a combination of 11th-century half-timbered structures, 19th-century palaces, and striking modern architecture.

Purdue students in engineering and science may be able to take beginning master's level courses which are taught in English.
