Starting Your Studies
Welcome to Leipzig University!
Starting your studies marks the beginning of a new phase in your life. Do you have lots of questions? We want starting uni to be as easy as possible for you. This page has the most important information you’ll need.
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.

Housing and financing
Looking for somewhere to live in Leipzig? You’re spoilt for choice. A shared flat, halls of residence or a place of your own? Leipzig has something to suit every taste. But who’ll pay for it? How much does it cost to study? Is BAföG an option? And how do I find a part-time job? Find answers here.
Extracurricular activities
At Leipzig, we offer our students plenty of opportunities to get involved and try something new.
