Jobs and Internships

Scholarships

Of course, students also have the opportunity to apply for a scholar­ship for their Master's studies.

Leuphana offers a way to finance your studies as part of the Deutschland­stipendium (Germany Scholarship). The next application period runs from February 1 to 15, 2027.

It is no longer possible to apply for Landes­stipendium (scholar­ship from the state of Lower Saxony) this semester.

Regardless of this, the best-known scholar­ship providers in Germany are the 13 major scholar­ship foundations for the promotion of young talent.

However, there are also over 2,000 other smaller and larger scholar­ship providers in Germany that support students from a wide variety of back­grounds.

Jobs at Graduate School

In most cases, jobs as a student assistant at the university can be easily combined with your studies. At the Graduate School we also often seek support from SHKs - student assistants. If you are interested in one of the many different activities in the university context, take a look at the jobs@leuphana website or look out for the notices on the "Red Boards".

Jobs and Internships

Through Leuphana's Career Service you can find out about current offers for jobs that will help you finance your studies. It also offers internships and trainee positions in the network of the Alumni Support Association.
