This is just as decisive for academic careers as it is for those who plan professional practice outside the walls of academia. Leuphana offers modern courses of study embedded in current scientific research programs, which meet the requirements of the labor market in universities and non-university fields. High-quality teaching, good student-teacher ratios and modern amenities are the best conditions for successful studies. Subject-overarching knowledge, practical experience and skills, such as the capacity for reflection and the ability to interdisciplinary cooperation round off the technical skills that you can acquire thanks to the Leuphana study model. The following pages will show you how Leuphana Graduate School, together with the purposely designed university services, offers manifold development and career opportunities. They will make you discover the benefits of Leuphana with its unique content and structural concept, which should help you turn these studies into a successful chapter of your life. GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL 6 FACULTY OF EDUCATION COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL Schools and fakulties of Leuphana FACULTY OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES FACULTY OF SUSTAINABILITY FACULTY OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS THE GRADUATE SCHOOL Designed along Anglo-American lines, Leuphana Graduate School groups and coordinates under one roof all administrative activities of all faculties involved in the Master’s and Doctoral Programs, thus ensuring cohesion in the organization of studies. This also means safeguarding the quality of studies and transparency for the welfare of the students. The Leuphana Graduate School concept is unique in Germany. This innovative program design, which incorporates application-oriented elements in the Master’s Programs and the multidisciplinary Complementary Studies provides the best conditions for your Master. The Fast-Track Scheme gives excelling students the possibility to complete some modules from the semi-structured doctoral program during their Master’s studies already. This system ensures seamless transition to the doctoral program For organization questions about the structure of the course and skills development, the Study Counseling of the Graduate School is at your disposal not only before, but also during your studies. It offers individual coaching, as well as general support in the doctoral process and the transition to the postdoctoral phase. As Student at Leuphana Graduate School, you become part of a graduate community. It is a good idea to use the possibilities that this community offers in specialist and mundane exchange and the development of qualifications, which Leuphana University of Lüneburg is putting at your disposal. 7 GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL 8 Sem. MASTER’S FORUM 4 3 5 CP METAPROSPECTS intradisciplinary major-comprehensive 2 issues 1 MASTER’S THESIS 15 CP Structure of the Master’s Programs Arts & Scienes and Management & Entrepreneurship 25 CP COMPLEMENTARY STUDIES PROGRAM MAJOR Essential studies to reflect on sciences in an interdisciplinary context 60 CP 15 CP MASTER’S PROGRAM STRUCTURE Leuphana Graduate School’s Master’s Programs are combined into three thematically over-arching programs: The Master’s Program in Arts & Sciences, the Master’s Program in Management & Entrepreneurship and the Master’s Program in Education. In spite of the different focal points of their contents, all Master’s Programs are structured along one and the same interdisciplinary line: Students select a core subject – their Major. The Major occupies the substantial part of the study and ensures that successful completion corresponds to a competitive subject-related profile. It also determines the academic qualification degree (LL.M. / M.A. / M.Sc.), making it the primary identification of students. A further possibility open to the students is the put accents with respect to their own interests and a future profes-sion. These individual specializations are made possible according to the course of studies by an elective subject, or Minor subject. The compulsory and elective subject area is flanked by Complementary Studies and Intra-Disciplinary Issues. The Complementary Studies, which are compulsory for all students on a master’s program and are studied collectively, serve to complement – and reach beyond – subject-related contents. 9 GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL 10 COMPLEMENTARY STUDIES PROGRAM Essential studies to reflect on sciences in an interdisciplinary context 15 CP Aims of the Complementary studies To alternate perspectives — engage with students of other subjects — train communication and cooperation skills COMPLEMENTARY STUDIES The Complementary Studies are a special feature among the programs offered by Leuphana. All students on a Master’s Program, with the exception of those taking teacher training, pass through them. To broaden one’s mind — train, evaluate and use insights and methods of different subjects — learn analyzing facts, think critically and become flexible in mind The Complementary Studies offer an overarching forum to the exchange between specialist disciplines, where students can reflect upon their (future) role as academics within a society and an environment increasingly gaining in complexity. To perceive science in its context — know historical and current principles of science — take on one’s social and academic responsibility The three interdisciplinary modules aim at an understanding of knowledge and science within various contexts. Treating fundamental ethics, sustainability and humanism issues generates a responsible and action-oriented understanding of science. The interdisciplinary dialogue between students of various disciplines furthers the development of methodological and socio-communicative competences, which are essential for future professional paths in business, society and science. In this way, in times when knowledge is rapidly becoming obsolete, a constructive cooperation with colleagues of various disciplines and cultural backgrounds is already being prepared. 11 12 GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL QUALITY ASSURANCE All master’s programs at Leuphana Graduate School are accredited or are currently undergoing accreditation. Every Master’s course of studies has a Quality Circle. These official feedback meetings are comprised of students and teaching staff. They convene once a year and discuss where the course of studies can be optimized. The suggestions are implemented in the following months at various levels; in many cases, in the form of a reform of the curriculum. FAST TRACK Particularly well-qualified Master’s students of Leuphana Graduate School can already complete program modules of the semi-structured doctoral studies while on their Master’s Program. While studying during that phase, students have the opportunity to already treat a field of research intensively and lay down the subject of the master’s thesis as the basis for a subsequent doctoral thesis. The advantage of linking the master’s and doctoral studies is an early and beneficial integration into the academic community, opening up a selection of qualifying measures within the framework of the fund for the promotion of young academic talents. External program advisory councils ensure that the programs of study at Leuphana Graduate School are adapting to the changing needs of students and the professional world. To ensure the high quality of teaching, all teaching staff at the Leuphana are committed to undergo regular anonymous assessments of their teaching performance. Students can anonymously communicate to teaching staff what they do well or less well in their classes. In addition to the evaluation of individual courses there are study program-related surveys: at the end of the study, there is the degree survey and after a few years, the Alumni survey. These results are also fed into the development of courses with a survey on the completed degree, as well as a survey among alumni after a few years. These results are also included in the further development scheme of the programs. If you want to go Fast Track, you must fulfill a few conditions: you must be enrolled on a major at the Graduate School, provide evidence of special aptitude by a bachelor final grade of at least 1.5 (or ECTS grade A), a convincing written proposal for an academic project, as well as a provisional confirmation from your supervisor followed by a personal selection interview. 13 LEARN MORE » www.leuphana.de/en/study/master/student-life/ fast-track.html 14 » www.leuphana.de/en/study/master/student-life/ part-time-study.html GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL PART-TIME STUDIES For those who must combine a period of study with other demanding tasks, Leuphana has set up regular part-time study facilities with a broader time frame, enabling attendance at classes, research work, examinations as well as professional practice outside the university environment. Part-time students only attend half of the classes per semester and pay half of the fees, correspondingly doubling their standard period of study. SEMESTERTICKET AND STUDENT ID CARD Part of the semester fee, which you transfer to the university before term begins, serves to finance the SemesterTicket. All students receive a SemesterTicket for costless use in local public transport together with their Student ID. It is valid in all regional trains in the whole of Lower Saxony and the busses in the District of Lüneburg and also covers the fares between Lüneburg and Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen. Thanks to this ticket, a short trip to the beaches of the Baltic and North Sea or to the Hamburg night-life poses no problem. You will be allowed part-time study if for example you care for a member of your family, your children, if you are suffering from a serious illness or have to work for your living next to your studies. » www.leuphana.de/en/services/student-service.html ENROLMENT Turn to Leuphana’s Student Services for any question regarding enrolment. During your time as enrolled student, Students Services still remains responsible for administrative issues, in particular for re-registration, leave of absence, change of course, de-registration, as well as for all examination questions. Since April 2011, Leuphana University of Lüneburg’s SemesterTicket is also valid as Cultural ticket (Kulturticket). In cultural institutions, Lüneburg students receive a remaining ticket free of charge upon presentation of their SemesterTicket at the ticket office half an hour before the performance begins. At this moment in time, this offer comprises free entrance to more than 800 performances per semester in the whole of Lüneburg. Institutions taking part in this scheme are, amongst others, the Lüneburg Theater and St. John’s, St. Michael’s and St. Nicholas’ Churches with their concerts, as well as the e.novum theater, the Ostpreußisches Landesmuseum in Lüneburg, the Kulturforum Lüneburg and the Literaturbüro Lüneburg e.V.. Furthermore, the performances of the following free groups are also comprised in the ticket: BachChor Lüneburg, Halle für Kunst and the Kunstraum at Leuphana. 15 MEANS OF TRANPORT, TRANSPORT NETWORK » www.asta-lg.de/semesterticket FREQEUNTLY PUBLISHED EVENT TIPS » www.facebook.com/SemesterticketKultur 16 » www.leuphana.de/en/services/student-service.html GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL EXAMINATION REGULATIONS AND CURRILCULUM REGISTERING FOR COURSES Registration for the winter semester classes is activated from October 2nd, 2015 till October 26th, 2015. The places in compulsory classes are generally allocated by a simple listing procedure without limit as to the number of attendees. Faculty-overarching examination regulations (ER), apply to all master’s programs in conjunction with their Subject-Specific Schedules (SSS). These documents form the legal basis structuring your degree. It is therefore imperative that you make yourself acquainted with them. The documents are available to download from the Student Services page. They are officially published in the Official Journal of the University, the Gazette. The Examination Regulations lay down the general examination provisions. They are legally binding and rule, amongst others, the process of study, examination dates, the recognition of achievements, registration cut-off dates, withdrawal from examinations, and a lot more. In the Subject-Specific Schedule for your Major, you will find all the rules, which apply specifically to your course of studies, for example an overview and descriptions of the modules, which must be taken, or the type and number of examinations. Trans-disciplinary courses, such as the Complementary or Management Studies, also each have their own Subject-Specific Schedules (SSS). COURSE CATALOG ON MYSTUDY The Catalog of courses is published on myStudy, the web-based service platform of Leuphana University of Lüneburg’s four weeks before term begins. The User Guide on the home page of myStudy explains how to set up an account, compile your own timetable, or register for classes. But especially where elective and compulsory optional courses with a limited number of places are concerned, there can be a random selection procedure. In two random selection phases from October 2nd – 5th and from October 6th – 9th, you have the opportunity to apply for a place in these classes. At the end of the second random selection phase, you decide if you wish to attend that class or if you want to de-register from it, in order to liberate the place for someone else. 17 » www.leuphana.de/mystudy SUPPORT IS TO BE FIND DURING MASTER KICK-OFF, OCTOBER 1 AND 2 The University ensures that adequate places are available and all students are able to pursue their studies within the standard period.

What choices are there? How do I register for these classes? This quickly relegates other important questions to the back burner: What do I expect from my Master’s degree? What is important to me? How do I reconcile my studies with other areas of life? Leuphana Graduate School invites you to the Master Kick-off event on October 1st and 2nd. For a successful start in this new chapter of your life you will be given, next to administrative information, the chance to reflect on your personal expectations towards the Master’s Program and which influence Leuphana’s guiding principles of Humanism, Sustainability and ActionOrientation can have on your individual studies’ and career planning. 24 DETAILED PROGRAM ONLINE FROM SEPTEMBER » www.leuphana.de/en/study/master.html GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // COMMENCEMENT AND SCOPE GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // COMMENCEMENT AND SCOPE MASTER KICK-OFF The Master’s studies commence at the Graduate School before classes begin with the two-day overture event Master Kick-off on October 1st and 2nd. As a Master’s student, you will receive information on both days on the technical and organizational aspects of the studies and the curriculum of your program. You will be given an introduction in dealing with the campus management system myStudy, which you must master for the organization of your studies at Leuphana. Furthermore, we will present Leuphana’s service facilities and provide the opportunity to be made acquainted with the whole campus. During a guided tour, you will learn all about the uses offered by the library and the conditions for utilization. A CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE WORKSHOP In Leuphana’s understanding of education, academic, subject-oriented education, and personality development are closely linked. Students are supported in developing a personality for socially-responsible action. Another focus of the Master Kick-off, taking place at the same time, is the A Change of Perspective Workshop. Students are distributed in about twenty groups, and you will work in the group specifically dedicated to your degree program on your own status quo and for your personal educational perspective. The workshops provide, in addition to the opportunity to clarify personal and professional expectations for the future, a very good opportunity to make first contacts with your fellow students and to socialize. A welcome party for beginning students, including a ceremonial address, rounds off the program. You will also receive detailed program of the Master’s Kick-off, which is available as from mid-September, per E-Mail. With the A Change of Perspective workshop, we wish to give you the opportunity, as early as the beginning of this new stage of your studies, to blow life into this postulate. Within the framework of the master’s Kick-off, we give the existing professional orientation and development of individual educational perspectives to a reflexive examination of the personal status of space, because the Master’s Program requires a renewed look at their own type of learning. With the support of tutors of both sexes, you attend the workshop A Change of Perspective on your own and do in-depth work in small work groups: — What do you expect from your master’s degree? — What can I do so that my master’s program an inspiring episode of your life, where I can develop myself both professionally and personally? — What contribution to the teachers, the institutions at Leuphana and my Fellow students afford? — What offers of support gives me the Leuphana University in implementing my expectations? The group results are implemented visually and presented to the university public. . 25 26 » www.leuphana.de/en/study/master.html GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // COMMENCEMENT AND SCOPE GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // COMMENCEMENT AND SCOPE MASTER’S PROGRAM INDUCTION WEEK Following the launch event Master Kick-off, you are cordially invited to join the induction week in preparation for your Master’s degree.

The Student Organization of Eastern Lower Saxony operates two daycare centers on Leuphana premises. You can also receive support from the students’ project EliStu (German Abbreviation of Students with children), which organizes a childcare scheme and furthermore provides counseling, advice and networking for parents. The Family Service of the Women’s and Gender Equality Bureau can provide information on relevant issues concerning the compatibility of studies and family as well as child care offered. There, you will be advised and supported in finding solutions for difficult situations. ACCESSIBILITY The entire campus of Leuphana is low-barrier accessible. This means that almost all buildings are wheelchair accessible: ramps, automatic door openers and elevators. In addition, the campus is equipped with reserved spaces for wheelchair users and has accessible toilets for disabled people, so that everyone can use the facilities of the university largely without barriers or physical limitations. If you have special needs and if you, for example, need a sign-language interpreter or generally need help using the campus facilities, please contact the representative for students with disabilities. The parent-child workroom GradKids has been established by the Graduate School to allow shortterm or time-limited work with a child on campus, without giving the child into a day-care center. The space can be used both for individual work with a child or children as well as group work, discussions, as well as for counseling sessions with Graduate School employees – for example on student counseling, stipends / grant consultation. CANTEEN The dining halls on the main campus and on Rote Feld Campus are operated by the Association for Student Affairs Eastern Lower Saxony. As a student, you have price advantages when buying canteen food. At the Canteen tills, you will receive Canteen Card (MensaCard) against a €5.00 returnable deposit, which you can use for cashless payment at the canteen. At both locations, lunch is offered from Monday to Friday (during the semester break only on the main campus). On the main campus, the canteen is also open in the evenings during term time. ALLGEMEINER HOCHSCHULSPORT = SPORTS ON CAMPUS As Leuphana students, you can conveniently use the gym and the sauna in Studio 21 and participate in the varied sports programs. These range from team sports through dance and gymnastics classes to sports excursions and spa treatments, such as massages or Kinesiotape treatments.

They bear a part of the responsibility for the teaching and learning operation and the work of the university as a whole and are committed to innovation and the development of the University. Through the student body, they have influence on some steering tasks of the University. They fulfill the tasks of representing the interests of the student body in higher education policy, social and cultural issues. Students also work in numerous independent initiatives, which they often reconstruct according their own interest. Leuphana supports their commitment in different ways.

Teaching Evaluation (LVE) To ensure the high quality of teaching, all teaching staff of the University of Lüneburg undertake to carry out regular instructional event evaluations (LVE). It gives students the opportunity to participate in the development of teaching quality by anonymously filling out teaching/staff questionnaires, and mention what they liked or not-so-well liked in a course. A dialogue between students and teachers can open doors, so that all learn something and keep it unforgotten. Examination Boards Examination Boards of every program of study or for the Complementary Studies deal with all questions and procedures concerning examinations. The boards treat all exam relevant application and appeals. They set deadlines and confirm thesis subjects and supervisors. 45 CONTACT Dipl.-Psych.

The campus on the Scharnhorststraße is built in ancient military barracks. When the barracks were abandoned by the army in the mid-1990s, Lüneburg University moved into the now-empty buildings to fill them with new life and academic spirit. Since then, the grounds of the Scharnhorststraße campus have undergone many changes. New buildings were added to the campus, such as the library, the lecture halls and the canteen. Their architecture, comprising large glass panels, plenty of wood, contrasts with the rather hermetic look of the barracks’ brick architecture. Cafés, shops, halls of residence, sports grounds, an art room and cultural hall all found their way onto the green campus and are extensively used by the students. Since 2007, the New York architect Daniel Libeskind has been active as an avocational professor of architectural design at Leuphana. Together with students, he has designed a model for a Main Building, supported by the central idea of an ideal place harmoniously combining studying, researching and living. The foundation stone for the new Main Building was laid on May 8th, 2011.

Downtown historic streets are dominated by baroque facades harboring small and larger shops, pubs and cafés. Because the city center is completely pedestrian, the numerous street cafes are well attended throughout the entire year. Lüneburg’s extraordinary history as salt-producing city, its high density of historic buildings and its pleasant atmosphere all attract tourists from around the world. It also harbors a great variety of leisure activities. Be it cinema, theater, literature, music, visual arts or sports – the city has a lot to offer. galleries. The student yearning for rest will find it by immersing into the “Salü” – the salt thermal spa – hiking on the bucolic banks of the Illmenau River or in the nearby Lüneburg Heath. Leuphana students’ initiatives are continuously expanding their range into the city: there are innovative meeting places, the Lunatic Festival on campus or exhibitions in On the following pages, you will find the addresses of important contact points and data for a first selection of the offers by the municipality and the campus. 62 » www.arbeitsagentur.de GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // LÜNEBURG – LIVE AND STUDY GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // LÜNEBURG – LIVE AND STUDY MUNICIPAL SERVICES LODINGS Agentur für Arbeit Lüneburg-Uelzen An den Reeperbahnen 2, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 0800.4555500 Campus Wohnen Wichernstraße 34, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.743 63 51; [email protected] Ausländerbehörde Bardowicker Straße 23, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.309-3252; [email protected] Studentenwerk Ostniedersachsen Munstermannskamp 3, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.789 63 23; Kontakt: Gundula Müller; [email protected] » www.lueneburg.de/buergeramt Bürgeramt (Einwohnermeldeamt) Bardowicker Straße 23, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.309 3259; [email protected] » www.lueneburg.de/fundbuero Fundbüro Bardowicker Straße 23, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.309 3269; [email protected] Kfz-Zulassung Am Springintgut 3, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.261-239, -552; [email protected] » www.jobcenter-lueneburg.de Jobcenter Landkreis Lüneburg Volgershall 1, 21339 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.603 70 » www.lueneburg.de Tourist Information Am Markt 1, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.207 66 20 oder 0800.220 50 05 63 » www.campuswohnen-ev.de » www.stw-on.de/lueneburg/wohnen Lünepost Am Sande 18-20, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.701 012; [email protected] » www.luenepost.de Lüneburger Landeszeitung Am Sande 18-20, 21335 Lüneburg; Fon 04131.740 211; [email protected] » www.landeszeitung.de Online-Wohnungssuche deutschlandweit, provisionsfrei, auch Zwischenmiete » www.studenten-wg.de » www.wg-gesucht.de GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // LÜNEBURG – LIVE AND STUDY GRADUATE SCHOOL COMPASS 2015 // LÜNEBURG – LIVE AND STUDY MOBILITY SIGHT-SEEING » www.cambio-carsharing.de/lueneburg Cambio-Carsharing Wichernstraße 34, Campus 3; Fon 04131.743 63 65 » www.kvg-lueneburg.de » www.hvv.de, www.fahrplanbuch.de Bus transport’s schedules Historical Town Center Lüneburg’s ancient town has one of the highest densities of listed buildings and memorials in Germany.

Over the centuries it has continued to expand in red brick Gothic style. The baroque façade, which today defines the image of the Town Hall was completed in 1720. Even today, it is the seat of the Town Council and of the administrative offices of the Hanse-atic City of Lüneburg. Heinrich-Heine-Haus Built in 1565, Heinrich Heine’s parent’s ancient abode is called Heinrich-Heine-Haus. Its top floor housed his parents for four years (1822-1826), a period during which Heinrich Heine was already a student and occasionally visited his parents there. Kalkberg, the “Chalky Mountain” Towering at 58 meters and the highest natural elevation in the surroundings, the Kalkberg is situated near St. Michael’s Church and is a natural reserve in the middle of town.
