University of Lubeck

[EduCativ]

Research and teaching at the Universität zu Lübeck started in medicine, but our computer science, natural sciences, and engineering faculties today encompass much more. The common element among them is their emphasis on life sciences, mirrored by our motto, Focus das Leben (Focus on Life).
We offer degree programs in medicine, computer science, molecular life science, computational life science, and medical engineering science. We initiated a master's program in biomedical engineering in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences of Lübeck.
The ubiquitous, intensive, interdisciplinary exchange at the university is the motor for superior, internationally outstanding, innovative, and knowledge-oriented basic research marked by multifaceted applications. We strive to continually raise the bar for the quality of our research and education and to master the challenges and opportunities of worldwide competition. We thus team-up with both national and international research institutions.
Our systematic and didactically well structured, multifaceted, research-based teaching forms the foundation of one of the best-ranked universities in the German-speaking world. The Centre for Development of Higher Education (CHE) ranked our faculty of medicine as the best, followed by computer science and molecular life science faculties.
The Universität zu Lübeck is internationally distinguished for its research and the high quality of academic education.
Intensive transfer of knowledge and technology also distinguishes the Universität zu Lübeck. We ranked among the top five universities in Germany in the competition on Exchanges between Universities and Corporations. We work closely with regional and global businesses specializing in this field to optimize our research's commercialization.
There is also a life outside of laboratories and auditoriums – enriched by our abundant cultural and sports activities.
Our university is intertwined in the many-sided cultural life of the City. We enrich this vibrant scene through our public lectures, colloquia, congresses, symposia, and concerts given by the university orchestra and choir. We play a decisive role in enhancing the reputation of Lübeck as the City of Science.
Lübeck is the outcome of 800-year history. For a long time, this City at the Trave River was one of Northern Europe's key trading centers. It is the home of two Nobel Laureates for Literature and one winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. The cultural scene in the City has been shaped permanently by the heritage of Thomas Mann, Günter Grass, and Willy Brandt. Lübeck is situated between Hamburg's metropolis and the expansive flat sandy beaches of the Lübeck cove, reaching out to the sea.
In 1973, the Universität zu Lübeck became an independent scientific institution in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. We offer degree programs in medicine, computer science, engineering, and natural sciences. Interdisciplinary programs encompassing natural sciences, computer science, and medicine offer practical and up-to-date education underpinned by the highest healthcare standard. The conditions here for developing and applying innovative technologies, diagnostics, and treatments are ideal due to teamwork among faculties and collaboration with other institutions in Lübeck, the Research Center Borstel, the Medical Laser Centre local businesses. Teaming-up with national and international research institutes bolsters the quality of research at our university, currently defined by two unique research fields.
