Explore Hanover – the ideal place to learn German

Hanover offers young people from abroad the ideal conditions for learning German quickly and successfully. The city combines the dynamism of a modern business and university hub with the quality of life found in one of Germany’s greenest major cities.

What makes Hannover special:

  • Standard German without an accent: Hannover is known for its clear, dialect-free pronunciation. Anyone learning the language here will hear, in everyday life, exactly the same German that appears in the textbooks – without any confusing regional dialects.
  • A vibrant centre of higher education: As the home of several renowned universities, the city attracts tens of thousands of students. This creates an international, open atmosphere and makes it easy to make friends.
  • High quality of life: Whether “Maschsee”, “Eilenriede” – one of Europe’s largest urban forests – or the Herrenhausen Gardens, there are plenty of opportunities for relaxation and leisure in green spaces right in the heart of the city.
  • A strong Economy & Careers: As a major trade fair city and a hub for international companies, Hannover offers excellent opportunities for work placements, study and starting a career.

Culture and Community at the ISK

ISK Hannover also helps you settle in outside of class. Our varied cultural programme offers you the chance to explore the city together with other course participants – from group excursions and sporting activities to museum visits.

Thanks to Hannover’s central location, other major German cities such as Berlin and Hamburg are also quick and easy to reach by train.
