So far, I am enjoying my time here at Leipzig University. The professors over here are really qualified for their positions and they go above and beyond to explain the topic materials. Moreover, there are weekly seminars which you can attend to ask about subtopics where you’re having difficulty. The weather in summers is also really good which gives a psychological boost when you have to study for long hours. I also have great admiration for my colleagues. Each person is more talented than the other and we help each other out during group study sessions before exams. The library here is also very good. Not only does it have an extensive collection of books from nominated authors, it also has a secluded study area for students where they can study without any interruption. There are also rooms available for group discussions.

Fantastic institution with top-notch classes, historic buildings, and most well amenities. a reality check. Both the surroundings and the location are first-rate. Extrinsic rewards and athletics are both good.

Standard facilities are available at Leipzig University, which has aided students intellectual growth. Additionally, it has a robust security system and a lovely setting with many trees all around the structure.

The IPSP Programme in Leipzig is an enticing offer to study Physics in English at Angela Merkel’s own Alma Mater. However, this programme does not live up to the prestige that the university may seem to have. The study programme still seems to be in its infancy, despite already being in place for a number of years. Professors change regularly and often seem unfamiliar with their course content. Seeking additional help from them was impossible, as most of the lectures were taken, verbatim, from textbooks, and it is not possible to receive further explanation from them on topics that are unclear.

One must be completely self-reliant if they wish to study IPSP and be willing to dedicate more time to individual study than students in other, similar programmes. Even the most ambitious of students, as I thought myself to be, will find themselves extremely challenged in IPSP and the low retention rate of the programme speaks to the widespread burn-out experienced by its students. Expect the number of your classmates to halve with each semester, and to see only a handful of students reaching graduation.

I enrolled in the BSc. IPSP program (International Physics Program) in 2017 and finished in 2021. It was an amazing experience.
The University of Leipzig is one of the oldest universities in Europe, and its physics faculty has a remarkable history. Professors like Heisenberg, Bloch, Hund, etc. have taught/researched there. It was inspiring to be a part of an institution with this background and rich history.
One really good advantage for international bachelor students is that you can pursue an international master’s in physics or in mathematical physics straight away. The physics faculty has many research institutes in both theoretical and experimental physics, with excellent professors on both sides. In my opinion, as a physics student, you have so many options to become a part of a research team. Also, the university works closely with the Max Planck institute making the research and research opportunities even broader.
The city of Leipzig is beautiful, historical, with great nightlife, museums, an amazing theater, etc. I had so many wonderful memories during my stay there. In terms of transportations is well connected both internally and externally. Leipzig central station is one of the biggest in Germany, and it has its own airport. So if you are thinking of coming to study physics in Leipzig or any other subject, I could not recommend it more.
