Programme
The Opening Week marks the start of your studies: it begins on Tuesday, October 1, and ends on Friday, October 11. During the first two days, you can settle in at Leuphana at your own pace. You will meet your tutors, your project group, and get to know the professors of your degree program. There will be no Opening Week program on October 3 and 4.
After a long weekend break, you will then focus on the theme of the Opening Week, "Intelligence," and your project work. You will gain insights through group work and discussions with people from academia, society, and politics. In the process, you will develop your own vision for the global society of tomorrow. After an exciting week, during which you will explore the topic from various perspectives, the Opening Week will conclude on Friday, October 11, with a grand finale.
