Studying by the sea: living and studying in Lübeck

The comparatively small city of Lübeck with approx. 222,000 inhabitants, of which approx. 9,500 students are spread across universities and universities of applied sciences, is located in northern Germany, directly on the Baltic Sea and belongs to Schleswig-Holstein. After an exhausting examination phase, a trip to the seaside resort of Travemünde or the Priwall peninsula is worthwhile to regain strength and sun. In addition gThere are also the seven towers, the town hall and the remains of a city wall, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Not only can the university be reached by bike in a few minutes, but also the fellow students at the other end of the city. With Hamburg, however, the big city is not far either, just 60 minutes away by train. But unlike in big cities, studying in Lübeck is affordable. It costs 120 euros per semester, which already includes the semester ticket, as well as the basic fee for university sports. The offer for sports enthusiastic students ranges from classic fitness courses to group and martial arts to unusual sports such as sailing, climbing or dragon boating.
