Finding your feet

It’s great that you are now a part of Leipzig University. The University is fairly complex and will present you with some challenges at the beginning. A number of contact points provide helpful information to make it easier for you to organise your day-to-day studies.

Further questions and networking

Below you will find information about advisory services and contacts who can answer your questions, but also opportunities to network.

We urge you to use the numerous advisory services on all aspects of studying – in your first few days on campus but also at any time throughout your studies.
