About
Leuphana University of Lüneburg is a public university founded in 1946, located in Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany.
With approximately 9,600 students, Leuphana offers a vibrant and engaging learning environment on a campus in the heart of Lüneburg, a charming medieval town known for its well-preserved Gothic brick architecture and picturesque streets.
Leuphana is structured around three academic units: the College for Bachelor's programmes, the Graduate School for Master's and PhD programmes, and the Professional School for continuing education.
The university is known for its innovative teaching methods and its focus on sustainability, with research institutes including the Institute for Sustainable Transformation and the Institute for Digital Transformation.
What makes Leuphana unique is its interdisciplinary model: all Bachelor's students share a common first semester (Leuphana Semester) and combine a major with a minor and Complementary Studies modules, giving every student a broader academic perspective beyond their chosen field. Many programmes are taught entirely in English.
Leuphana promotes international mobility in all phases of study, with the aim of enabling at least half of all students to gain study-related experience abroad.
The university has over 150 partner universities worldwide. No tuition fees apply for EU and most non-EU students.
