Looking back, my favourite part of studying at LU Leipzig was the strong sense of community. Getting to know people from diverse backgrounds and learning from each other was an incredible experience. I always enjoyed attending university events, as they brought everyone together and made student life even more engaging. Additionally, the smaller lecture sizes allowed for direct and meaningful communication with professors, which was a major advantage in enhancing the learning experience.
How did your time at LU Leipzig shape your personal and professional growth?
On a personal level, it was my first experience moving to a new continent to pursue my studies without my family. This journey taught me independence, resilience, and the importance of balancing academic responsibilities while still enjoying student life. The incredible support from Lancaster’s staff made the transition smoother, always being there to assist me and connect me with other students going through the same experience. Professionally, the knowledge and skills I gained at LU Leipzig provided a strong foundation for my career. Without the academic and practical insights I acquired, I wouldn’t be where I am today. LU Leipzig not only shaped my understanding of business and marketing but also helped me develop the confidence and adaptability essential for my future.
Can you share one memorable experience or achievement from your student life?
One of my most memorable experiences was leading the social committee and organizing events like International Day and the End-of-Year Party each year during my time at LU Leipzig. Working alongside other students who shared the same goal of fostering community made the experience even more rewarding. Bringing people together to celebrate diverse cultures and create lasting memories is something I will always cherish.

This experience was incredibly enriching, allowing me to gain practical insights and further shape my career aspirations.
