The University of Lübeck is in the fortunate position of being able to offer students a new attractive exchange program with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the USA since 2022.
As part of this program, two students can spend a semester studying at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts, and get to know life at an American university. The program is aimed at both Master's students and Bachelor's students in advanced semesters. At WPI, as in Lübeck, there is a master's program in IT security, as well as an undergraduate computer science program.
The agreement stipulates that students remain enrolled at their home universities and do not have to pay tuition fees at the partner university. Only travel costs such as flights, local accommodation and health insurance etc. must be borne by the students themselves.
Further advice on scholarships for semesters abroad is available from the International Office. Courses attended can be credited in Lübeck after consultation with the program director.
The semesters at WPI run from the end of August to December (Fall Term) or from January to the beginning of May (Spring Term). Due to the weather, we recommend that you complete your stay in the Fall Term. The deadline for applications for Fall Term 2025 is January 1, 2025.
Applications must be submitted in English in writing (including CV, letter of motivation and current transcript of records) to thomas.eisenbarth(at)uni-luebeck.de. Due to the specialization in IT security, students of IT security will be given preferential treatment. If you have any further questions, please send an e-mail to its.office(at)uni-luebeck.de.
