Orientation Program at Leuphana
For international students
How do I register in Lüneburg? Can I learn German at Leuphana? Which places should I have seen in Lüneburg? These and many other questions occupy international students after their arrival. During the orientation program, you will find answers to all questions, receive direct support in putting them into practice and get to know your fellow students, the city and the surrounding area.
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.
