History

Lancaster University decided on Leipzig for its new campus location after evaluating numerous European cities, partially because of its high economic growth, growing student population, and touristic appeal. [6] This became the fourth campus overseas for the British university, which already had institutions in China, Ghana and Malaysia. [1]

The first students enrolled in January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic. The university had to quickly transition to a hybrid mode that lasts until today, allowing students to join online if their visas are not approved by the time the course starts. [7]

Lancaster University Leipzig has a diverse international student body with more than 90 nationalities on campus. 60% of the students are originally from non-EU countries, 30% from other EU countries and 10% from Germany.[ citation needed ]

Campus

The new campus is located in Strohsackpassage, in the center of Leipzig. The offices were renovated with the goal of providing a modern, hybrid-friendly education. [8]
