Important impetus for Leipzig
The opening ceremony was rounded off by speeches from Karin Zimmermann, Regional Director East, Prof. Dr habil. Claudia Luck-Sikorski, Vice-Rector, as well as a report on the experiences of a Master's student. A panel discussion, moderated by Campus Manager Raluca Modoiu, highlighted the influence of SRH University on Leipzig's economic and cultural development.
The participants emphasised that the flexibility of private universities makes them particularly suitable for responding quickly to the needs of the regional market. Michael Körner, Managing Director of Invest Region Leipzig, emphasised the importance of the university for regional development. Prof. Dr. Fakhteh Ghanbarnejad, Head of Computer Science, emphasised the innovative power of private universities in the development of new degree programmes. Dr Torsten Loschke, Head of the Knowledge Policy Department of the City of Leipzig, added the perspective of the city administration and praised the strategic partnership.
Facts and figures about the SRH Campus Leipzig
The new campus covers around 1,200 square metres and offers a modern learning environment. Almost 150 students from almost 30 countries are currently studying here, and this number is expected to double in the winter semester 2025/26. The cooperation with "Basecamp by Xior Leipzig", a private student residence directly opposite the campus, makes it easier for international students to arrive and promotes networking.
SRH University already offers practical degree programmes such as the Master Computer Science with a focus on Big Data & AI and the B.Sc. Physician Assistant. At the same time, forward-looking programmes in medical technology and biotechnology are being developed to specifically address the shortage of skilled workers in the region. There are also plans to offer the Computer Science degree programme as a dual course of study in the future in order to further intensify cooperation with regional companies.
