Lancaster University Leipzig is a branch campus of Lancaster University. Established in 2020, it is the first public UK university with a campus in Germany. Courses offered at the university include undergraduate degrees in management, computing and IT fields, a master's in logistics and supply chain management, and international foundation programmes in business and computer science. Students who study and graduate in Leipzig receive their degree from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. 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. This became the fourth campus overseas for the British university, which already had institutions in China, Ghana and Malaysia. 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. Lancaster University Leipzig has a diverse international student body with more than 45 nationalities. 50% of the students are originally from non-EU countries, 35% from other EU countries and 15% from Germany.
