History
In 1971 the Fachhochschule Hannover was founded as successor of several educational institutions, amongst others the "Freye Handwerksschule für Lehrlinge" and the "Königlich Hannoversche Baugewerkschule zu Nienburg/Weser". In 2007 the Evangelische Fachhochschule Hannover (Evangelical University of Applied Sciences) was incorporated as a fifth faculty.
Since 2010 the name of the university was changed to Hochschule Hannover.[3] In 2010 the degree program "Fotojournalismus und Dokumentarfotografie" with the english name "Photojournalism and Documentary Photography" was accredited by the organization ACQUIN. The HsH belongs with this core profile to the major international photographic educational institutes.[4] The current president of the Hochschule Hannover is Josef von Helden.

The HsH cooperates with diverse institutions such as Aalborg University, the Hogeschool Gent, and a wide range of partners in industry.[5]
