Leipzig University campus

The city campus of Leipzig University provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Leipzig has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Leipzig University regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
