Creating your myStudy Account
How do I create a myStudy account?
You must have already activated your Leuphana account in order to be able to create a myStudy account. Information on how to activate your Leuphana account and how to set up your myStudy account can be found on this page.
Help - I can't find my myStudy password?
The login to myStudy is done with the username of the Leuphana account and the cloud password. The username of the Leuphana account consists of a random combination of digits and letters (e.g. 1AB-CD2). For students enrolled before summer semester 2023, it corresponds to the so-called "lg number" (e.g. lg0123456).
Unless you have set a separate cloud password, this corresponds to the normal password of the Leuphana account.
Who should I contact if I have already created an account and have forgotten my password?
If you no longer know the password and/or username of your Leuphana account, please contact the IT Tutors at it-tutor@leuphana.de.
Where can I find help and further information on using myStudy?
On this page, you can find the current myStudy user guide for students as well as helpful video tutorials.
If you have technical problems with myStudy, myStudy Support will assist you: mystudy@leuphana.de
Course selection with myStudy
What is the Conference Week ("Konferenzwoche")? How do I register?
The module "Transforming knowledge: responsible action" will end with the conference week. You will present the results of your research project and at the same time have the opportunity to get to know projects of your fellow students. Please make sure that you put the conference week as an extra event in the myStudy schedule and click on "register".
Which of the seminars are subject to the lottery procedure?
Registration for the compulsory courses is usually assigned via a list procedure without participant limitation. For elective and compulsory events with a limited number of places, there is a lottery procedure. In the two lotteries you have the opportunity to apply for a place in these courses. In the Leuphana Semester, the seminars in the modules "Transforming knowledge: responsible action", "Producing knowledge: methodologies" and "Problematising knowledge: critical thinking" are elective courses.
You can recognize this by the fact that the courses are displayed in a cluster. Within the cluster you can select your favorite course.
What should I do if I did not get a place in the elective course I chose?
If after the first lottery you have not been awarded a place in the chosen course, you have the opportunity to apply for another elective course during the second lottery. When both lotteries are finished, all available places will be released for immediate registration. Furthermore, there is the possibility to be automatically accepted into a course via waiting list.
When I register in myStudy, am I automatically registered for the exam?
No, you are not automatically registered for the exam via the course registration! Exam registration is done separately through myCampus.
Am I registered for an event once I have put it in my schedule?
No, the entry in the schedule alone is not enough, the registration or application is only done after you have clicked on "Register" as well. You can, for example, enter various elective courses in the schedule and select one of them at the end. You can find an overview of your registrations under the second tab "Registrations".
Right of Precedence (in case of severe disability, chronic illness, part-time study, care of a child or a close relative, pregnancy)
Students with significant time constraints imposed by severe disability, chronic illness, part-time study, care of a child or a close relative, pregnancy can claim entitlement to priority access to a course. Information on the entitlements and the exact procedure can be obtained from the Office of Equal Opportunities.
Filter function and targeted search
What can I do, if courses are overlapping?
First, check whether it is really an overlap. Some seminars take place in 14-day rotation. If you switch from the schedule view to the calendar view in myStudy, you can go through the individual calendar weeks.
If an elective seminar overlaps with a compulsory course, select another elective seminar. Use the function "Extended search options" to search for specific days and times. In this way you will get search results matching free time slots in your schedule.
Can I filter the courses by the language of instruction?
Yes, use the " Extended search options " in myStudy. You can filter by language of instruction. For example, you can display only those courses that are taught in English.
If I have not received a place - after the 2nd lottery - who can I contact?
One place in one of the elective seminars is available for every first-semester student. If you still have not received a place in one of the compulsory elective seminars after the second lottery, or if you have been admitted to the degree programme later via the waitinglist, the module coordinators will help you. Please send your request with your matriculation number to the following contacts:
For the three interdisciplinary modules, please contact the module coordinators:
Transforming knowledge: responsible action
Problematising knowledge: citical thinking
Producing knowledge: methodologies
