First Semester at College: The Leuphana Semester

Starting your degree brings with it lots of new experiences, questions and things to do – and we’d like to support you right from the start: on these pages, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to everything you need to get your studies off to a good start.  

To help you find your way around easily, we’ve organised the information exactly in the order in which it will become relevant to you, from the initial preparations right through to the end of your first semester: 

Before the start of the semester: All the organisational details you need to sort out before you begin – from enrolment and semester fees to accommodation and your Leuphana account. Also: preparatory courses, registering for the Opening Week and your first points of contact.  

Opening Week: Your shared start to your degree programme. Here you’ll get to know Leuphana, your year group and how to undertake academic work. 

The Leuphana Semester: Here’s what to expect: which modules to take, how to put together your timetable, what you need to know about exams, and where to get advice.  

Conference Week: The highlight at the end of the semester, when you’ll present your project results and celebrate the start of your time here in style. 

Downloads: All the key documents and overviews in one place for you to read through and take away.  

If you’re unsure: take your time, have a look through everything at your leisure and feel free to ask your contact person at any time. We’re delighted to have you on board!
