Language and Orientation Program

The 4-week Language and Orientation Program (LOP) has been designed to help new international students settle in Lüneburg, become acquainted with cultural differences and characteristics, get to know a lot of new people from all over the world and to prepare to study at Leuphana.

For the German intensive course a service fee of €150 (€200 for doctoral students with an employment contract) must be paid. Registration and payment take place during office hours at the International Center.
