Required for participation:

• a direct higher education entrance qualification (through the higher education entrance qualification or a first degree abroad)

An application is possible online via the uni-assist portal until 15.05.2022.

In addition to the usual language course, the University of Leipzig will offer German courses at different levels for students from Ukraine at the Studienkolleg Sachsen from May 2022. These courses are intended in particular for students who were already at an advanced stage of their studies and have now had to interrupt them so that they can continue their studies at the University of Leipzig as quickly as possible.

All students affected by the Ukraine war can apply if they meet the following requirements:

• They have successfully studied in Ukraine for at least 2 semesters.
• If possible, they are already registered in Leipzig or the surrounding area or have applied for a study or study preparation visa.
• Your field of study is offered at the University of Leipzig (except for the fields of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy).
