The online registration in QIS for the first examination period (exam forms HA, K, KA, MP, PB, PJ and SP) is possible from 15.05.2026 to 31.05.2026.
Please refer to the list of examiners for an overview of examinations and course achievements.
Semester Planning
Here you will find timetables, dates and the Module overview. You can do your current semester planning or the whole study planning.
The Handbook of Modules contains the descriptions of all modules.
Course and Examinations Achievements
Here you will find the semester, registration and exam dates as well as the current courses (examiner list). Please contact the concerning institute for the dates of oral examinations.
Via the "Forms" button you get to a page where you will find the application forms for admission to the Interdisciplinary Project, the Practical Project, the Master's Thesis, the registration for examinations within the Studium Generale and to further forms. Please note the different registration deadlines of the examination periods I, II and VbP.
How to register for exams?
-
Course and Examinations Achievements from the current module offer
You can register for exams from the current module offer via the QIS-system during the registration periods VbP, I and II. In principle, you must register for course achievements and examinations. Note the current list of examiners (WiSe or SoSe) to find out which study and examination achievements are offered in the respective module in the current semester. If you have any questions regarding the module choice, please follow the information on the study plan or make an appointment in the Dean of Studies' Office.

Course and Examinations Achievements from other Degree Programmes
Up to a limit of 18 CP, you can take modules and courses besides the current module offerfrom the other courses offered by the university, provided they are a useful addition. This includes language courses and "ZQS/Key-Competence" courses. Depending on the type of examination, you register the examinations and/or coursework associated with the module in the registration period VbP, I or II using the “Studium-Generale” form. If you have more than one examination and/or coursework per module, you must register all of the assessments belonging to a module together in the VbP examination period (15.10.-31.10. in WS or 15.04.-30.04. in SS). The following also applies:
- For modules and courses not offered by the Civil Engineering teaching unit, you need the written consent of the examiner (also to language courses). Therefore, contact the relevant lecturer in time.
- You are allowed to take 8 CP of language courses. Approval is given for one language in addition to German and English courses. Further information can be found in the LLC's guidelines.
- 3 key competence courses may be taken per study programme and a maximum of one course per semester. Key competence courses are "Studienleistungen" (study achievments) and MUST be registered in the registration period VbP (15.10.-31.10. in the WS or 15.04.-30.04. in the SS). In case of a waiting list place, please register the course anyway! As with all other study and examination achievements, the following applies: Courses that have not been registered BEFORE they are taken can NOT be recognized!
- Please send complete registration forms by e-mail with the subject "SG registration [exam name] [last name, first name]" to studiendekanat@fbg.uni-hannover.de.

Interdisciplinary Projects, Practical Projects and Master's Thesis
Admission to the Interdisciplinary Project, the Practical Project and the Master's Thesis is subject to certain requirements, which are regulated in the examination regulations. You submit an application for admission to the respective student work in paper form. Please use the form provided.
Here you will find further information on student works, e.g.
- Search and request for a student work
- Form for inquiries to the institutes
- Guidelines for the creation and evaluation of student works

Recognition of Course and Examinations Achievements
Course and examinations achievements from previous studies in Germany or abroad can be recognised, when you are matriculated at LUH. Recognition of course and examinations achievements from a semester abroad is possible too. You can find single steps, necessary documents and verifications as well as contact persons on the recognition website.
Study Regulations
The examination regulations contain all regulations and responsibilities for the examinations and the associated examination procedures.
The admission regulations contain the formal admission requirements that must be fulfilled for enrolment in the master's degree programme "Computational Methods in Engineering".
Learning outcomes
The Computational Methods in Engineering (M.Sc.) programme is an accredited programme. Leibniz University Hannover continuously ensures the high quality of its programmes through the Leibniz Quality in Teaching programme (LQL programme). This guarantees that students can achieve the following learning outcomes:
-
Tasks and requirements
The Master's programme Computational Methods in Engineering focuses on solving engineering problems with the help of computer-aided methods. Technical requirements include the detailed modelling of technical processes and complex structures and systems, taking into account different length scales and multiphysical interactions. In addition to the (further) development of technical concepts, social, ecological and economic requirements must also be taken into account.
-
Main learning outcomes
The main learning outcomes of the Master's programme in Computational Methods in Engineering are
- in-depth understanding of mathematical and information technology theories and methods and engineering modelling
- in-depth understanding of computer-aided methods in engineering (discretisation methods, multiscale and multiphysical modelling and simulation techniques, artificial neural networks) and fundamental mathematical methods
- the ability to use computer-aided methods to solve application-related problems; the ability to evaluate calculation results
- the ability to conduct research into the further development of computer-aided planning and analysis methods and calculation procedures
- the ability to conduct independent scientific work.
-
Graduates possess the following skills:
- Theoretical knowledge: Graduates have a sound understanding of the underlying mathematical and physical principles applied in modelling and simulation in engineering sciences.
- Practical skills: They have the ability to use and develop modern software and tools to solve complex technical problems, including the design, implementation and verification of numerical models.
- Problem-solving skills: Graduates are able to develop independent and creative solutions to challenging engineering problems, selecting and applying the appropriate modelling and simulation methods.
- Research competence: Graduates are prepared to conduct research independently, including the ability to formulate scientific questions, analyse data and interpret research results.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration: Graduates are able to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, integrating their knowledge of computational methods with other engineering and scientific disciplines.
- Communication skills: Complex technical information can be communicated clearly and precisely to various target groups, both in writing and orally.
- Application orientation: The course content is geared towards preparing students for real-world applications in various engineering fields such as mechanical engineering, civil engineering and other areas.
