Welcome to the Institute of Psychology!

Our institute offers courses in the fields of cognitive psychology, educational psychology, developmental psychology, and psychological research methods for bachelor and master students enrolled in teacher education as well as special needs education and educational sciences programmes. Furthermore, we consult students and doctoral candidates of the Faculty of Humanities on how to conduct and realise quantitative or qualitative research projects. Our research focus is on language, development, and culture as well as memory and decision making.

Dear Students!

If you have any questions concerning certificates for programme achievements, please send an email to "sekretariat@psychologie.uni-hannover.de" We will take care of your request as soon as possible.


LUH student survey 2026 launched

At the beginning of May, all LUH students receive an invitation to the LUH student survey by email. The survey is a central instrument of quality assurance at Leibniz University Hannover and aims to have students evaluate the study conditions and identify areas for improvement. With the help of this information, faculties, university management and other institutions gain a comprehensive understanding of the students, their study situation and any difficulties in their studies.

Every vote counts!

We ask all students to take part. The survey only takes place every 2 years and it only takes 15-20 minutes to complete. The more students take part, the more meaningful the results will be. In order to motivate as many students as possible to participate, attractive vouchers (6 vouchers of €200 each for notebooksbilliger.de and 30 book vouchers of €20 each for Lehmanns) will be raffled off.
