Leuphana is a true campus university. Since the 1990s, the university has been located to the site of former barracks, featuring numerous brick buildings. The library, lecture halls and canteen were newly constructed at that time. Four student residences directly on campus create a special atmosphere in which to study. The university inaugurated its new central building, designed by the world-famous architect Daniel Libeskind, in 2017. In addition to an auditorium maximum with a maximum capacity of 1,101 people, the building provides space for research, a study centre and a seminar centre.
Most people associate tracked vehicles on barracks grounds with tanks. Today, tracked vehicles can still be found on the site of former barracks, which are now home to Leuphana University. But they are now bicycles, and lots of them, too, because as a sustainable university, Leuphana attaches great importance to climate-neutral mobility.
"I chose Leuphana because of its study model. I'm pursuing a direct path in my major, but thanks to the minor, complementary studies, and Leuphana Semester, I can also explore other options."
Johanna, studying Cultural Studies with a specialisation in Communication and Organisation and Educational Science as a minor
A popular meeting place on campus is KLIPPO in the central building of Leuphana University. It offers a diverse, fresh and regional culinary selection every day. KLIPPO is a place where people can come together and where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome. With its events, KLIPPO provides a stage for artists and performers from various genres.
