four steps to a place at university

1. Choose study program

At Leuphana College, you can apply for one Bachelor's program. You apply either for a Bachelor's program with a major and a minor or for the teacher education program Teaching and Learning with two teaching subjects (teaching profession at elementary, secondary modern and secondary schools) or for Social Education and one teaching subject (teaching profession at vocational schools).

You need a university entrance qualification in order to submit a valid application to the college of Leuphana University of Lüneburg. In addition to this general admission requirement, you must fulfill special admission requirements, depending on the study program to which you are applying. An overview of all admission requirements can be found on the page Admission Requirements.

The special aspect of the admission procedure at Leuphana College is that it is not only the final grade that decides whether you get a study place. Leuphana College offers you the opportunity to score points through extracurricular achievements, participation in a study apptitude test and, if applicable, participation in a selection interview thus improving your chance of being admitted to a study program. This process is explained in detail on the admission procedure page.
