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. We strongly recommend that new international students acquire at least some German skills before the start of their studies, since German is not only the main language of instruction at Leuphana, but the language of everyday life.
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.
