Summer Schools und Language Courses

Leibniz University organizes summer schools together with partner institutions every year. As a rule, each partner institution offers a summer school, some of which are discounted for Leibniz University students, depending on the region. If you are interested in a summer school, please contact the respective regional coordinator for more detailed information.

 

Summer schools are a great way to get to know a new university, city and academic subject - without making a long-term commitment.
