In the year 2003, a new public university was founded in the very heart of Europe: the University of Luxembourg. It sees itself as a multilingual, internationally oriented research university, offering a very special framework to students and researchers alike, thanks to the proximity of the institutions of the European Union, the Luxembourg financial centre and the attractive national job market, but also thanks to the outstanding multilingual situation prevailing in our small state itself.

Generally speaking, the University is pursuing three main goals: teaching, research and the transfer of knowledge on an international level. The 5,700 students may choose between Bachelor and Master degrees to be obtained from one of the three faculties, i. e. the Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication, the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, or the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education.

Research is focused on themes such as the security of information systems, systems biomedicine, European law and business law, international finance, as well as education and learning in a multilingual environment. International research teams and some 390 postgraduates work within the faculties themselves, the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University.

About 650 financial experts, jurists from the European Court of Justice and other practitioners assist 200 professors and senior lecturers. Endowment chairs sponsored by TDK, Atoz Tax Advisers, the City of Luxembourg, the satellite operator SES Astra, the steel producer ArcelorMittal and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg are testimony to the close connections with the economic world.

The multicultural flair of the country is an experience lived each day on campus. Students come from 100 different countries, teachers from 25. Whether it be English-French or German-French, many degree programmes are bilingual and, in addition to that, Master degrees taught exclusively in English are also on offer.

The compulsory undergraduate semester abroad illustrates the extreme importance the University attributes to the issue of mobility. There are exchange agreements with over 50 institutions of higher education in Europe, Asia, the Unites States and Canada in existence today.

Another typically Luxembourgish aspect of campus life resides in the latter's cosy atmosphere, where small is beautiful and new students are guided in tutorials. Voilà! Further information on this website or by sending an e-mail to seve.infos@uni.lu.
