Choosing the right university is about more than earning a degree – it is about preparing for a successful future. To help prospective students, applicants and their families better understand the career opportunities available at Lancaster University Leipzig, the University has launched its new Careers & Employability Guide 2026/27, now available to download:
The guide provides an overview of the University’s dedicated careers support, employer engagement activities and the advantages of studying in Leipzig – one of Germany’s fastest-growing business and innovation hubs. It highlights how students can begin developing professional skills, expanding their networks and exploring career opportunities from the very start of their studies.
Throughout the academic year, students benefit from a wide range of careers initiatives, including employer presentations, networking events, career fairs, company visits and guest lectures. These activities are designed to connect academic learning with the realities of today’s global workplace.
Our role is to bridge the gap between academic study and professional life, ensuring students feel confident navigating both. We focus on creating meaningful connections between students and industry, helping them understand how their skills apply in real-world contexts. We want every student to leave with more than a degree – with a clear sense of direction and the tools to succeed in a competitive global job market.
The guide also showcases Leipzig’s thriving economy and the opportunities available across sectors such as technology, logistics, automotive, healthcare and advanced manufacturing. Home to international companies including DHL, Amazon, BMW, SAP and Beiersdorf, the region offers students valuable exposure to industry throughout their degree.
Whether through internships, networking events or employer collaborations, Lancaster University Leipzig is committed to helping students build the confidence, skills and professional connections needed for life after graduation.
The new Careers & Employability Guide 2026/27 is now available to download on our Careers Centre webpage and offers valuable insights in addition to that.
