University of Leipzig

The Universität Leipzig was founded in 1409 making it one of the oldest universities in Germany. It is an interdisciplinary, international comprehensive university. The University consists of 14 faculties with 128 institutes. 35,000 persons research, teach and study at the university and more than 4,300 persons are employed at the University Hospital of Leipzig. The university offered 136 courses of study in the 2009/10 winter semester. 5,686 doctoral candidates are registered at the UL (2,439 in medicines), 631 of whom are enrolled in 20 structured graduate training programmes (as per the end of 2009). The research potential in Leipzig is fortified by 20 non-university research institutions and five other universities. Chemistry at the Alma Mater Lipsiensis has been developing for more than 300 years. The courses and educational conditions in the faculty were brought up to most modern standards with extensive rebuilding and a brand new chemistry block in 1999. In addition to basic research and environmentally relevant subjects, the research profile of the faculty is concentrated on the major foci of chemistry/biosciences, material sciences and interfaces.
