Your individually tailored Bachelor's programme

The combination of major and minor "Studium Individuale" at Leuphana College enables a holistic and flexible academic education. Students design their degree programme according to their own interests and goals by choosing and combining courses from the entire range of Bachelor's courses offered at Leuphana University. The major offers the opportunity to work on central questions from different academic fields, while the minor creates additional scope for interdisciplinary perspectives and enriches the course with new food for thought. This combination not only promotes the development of critical thinking and creative approaches, but also the ability to view and understand complex issues from different angles. In this way, studying becomes an individually designed journey that develops both academic and professional potential.

In the 5th semester, you have the opportunity to gain your own international experience by spending a semester abroad at one of our partner institutions.

In addition to your professional development, you will also expand your language skills and your social and intercultural competences, which will open up a wide range of career and further education opportunities for you.

In addition to your major and minor, interdisciplinary modules during the Leuphana Semester and the Complementary Studies round out your Leuphana Bachelor.
