The selection interview is individually tailored to the respective study programme, therefore an application must be submitted in order to participate in the interview.
 

The selection interviews consist of a 20-minute individual interview followed by a short presentation (5 minutes + 5 minutes for follow-up questions). The interview is conducted in the language of the chosen study programme. Topics of the individual interview include your motivation for the study programme and Leuphana University.
A five-minute presentation on a topic of your choice must be prepared for the selection interview. It should be on a current and socially relevant topic. Please bring an outline of your presentation in duplicate to the selection interviews. Please refrain from preparing PowerPoint presentations etc. These cannot be used.
