‘mini-Berlin’
—
Leipzig is often described as a
smaller version of the German
capital, due to the arts, culture,
creativity and diversity of the
population.

The size of Leipzig ensures that students can easily
walk or cycle around the city, or jump on one of the
main trams that wind around every few minutes.

The Leipzig Auenwalk, a huge area of parkland,
stretches across the city from north to south and
offers a great place to relax. A network of waterways
weaves through Leipzig and leads to manmade lakes
situated to the south of the city. Cospudener Lake is
one of Leipzig’s most popular swimming spots.

For those that love shopping, there is a large
pedestrian zone with an extensive selection of shops
and stores. Restaurants spill out into outdoor eating
areas and create a perfect social space to relax
with friends. Cuisine is varied, with something
for everyone.

Leipzig is especially well-suited to young
people. Those who relocate find it a
captivating city in which to live, work and
study. Lancaster University Leipzig gives
students the opportunity to make this city
their new home.

Alternative Entry – the Foundation year
—
The Foundation year is specifically designed to support students who require an additional
year of study to meet the academic or English language requirements for our undergraduate
programmes. The Foundation year will develop your academic knowledge and communication
skills and prepare you for your chosen degree programme.

Starting at this level does increase your study duration, however this additional time
in Leipzig allows you to grow academically, build confidence, get to know the city,
establish a relationship with lecturers and ultimately be ready to take on the demands of
degree-level study. It’s an additional entry point that allows access to the high-quality
Lancaster University degrees.

There are two intakes a year, leading into each of the four degree options. Modules are
designed with Lancaster University and teaching is delivered by Navitas – an established,
and highly trusted, education pathway provider. Classes are held in Lancaster
University Leipzig.
