University sports
Stay fit!
Students at HMT Leipzig have the opportunity to take advantage of numerous
offers from the Centre for University Sport at the University of Leipzig. In addition to the usually one-sided and routine activities of everyday life, various forms of sport offer an important balance and contribute to physical, mental and social
well-being.
There is a range of sports courses - from Aikido to Zumba - which are offered
during the semester as well as during breaks for beginners and advanced students.
Enrolment in the courses takes place via the page of the Zentrums für Hochschulsport der Universität Leipzig.
Semesterticket-Upgrade
to the Deutschlandticket from may 1, 2023
On april 3, 2023 the presale for the 49€ ticket started. With the ticket you can use the entire nationwide local transport system (tram, bus, S-Bahn and U-Bahn, regional trains) from may 1, 2023. Long-distance traffic (EC, IC and ICE) as well as Flixbus and Flixtrain are not included.
Since the semester fee already includes a semester ticket for local public transport in the MDV area, you can upgrade the ticket to a 49€ ticket. For this, there is now a monthly cancellable subscription via LVB for the differential amount.
You can find all information about the subscription, validity and additional options at the following link:
or in the LVB guide below on how to upgrade your semester ticket to the Deutschlandticket.
Leipzig Student Union
reliable contact for student life
The Student Union Leipzig sees itself as a service provider with a social
mandate:
General social counselling
The start of a course of study also represents the beginning of a new and important phase in life. Many organisational and financial questions are associated with studying, which, if clarified well and with foresight, will promote the success of your studies. The social advisors of the Studentenwerk can provide you with targeted and individual support. Questions about financing your studies, organising your studies, health insurance, jobs and much more can be discussed in order to find the best possible perspective together. You have the option of taking advantage of the open short counselling without an appointment or a booked detailed appointment. The social counselling team is open to short and long questions and looks forward to hearing from you.
Counselling is free of charge and can be done anonymously. Of course, we are bound by professional secrecy. All current office hours and information can be found here:

Study with chronic illness and impairment:
By taking up your studies at the University of Leipzig, you are entering a new and exciting phase of your life, which can raise many questions at the same time.
The Social Counselling Service advises students with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities on issues such as organising their studies, coping with their studies, financing their studies, applying for
compensation for disadvantages, finding suitable accommodation and many other needs-related topics.
We focus on your personal situation and work together with you to find the right tips and solutions. If you wish, we can put you in touch with counselling centres, authorities and self-help groups.
By employing a volunteer, students can be offered hourly support in their daily study routine. Many things are possible - from reading to taking notes in lectures to accompanying students on campus, to the libraries or to the refectories. Feel free to contact us and we will discuss your need for support.
You are welcome to take advantage of our individual one-to-one counselling sessions to discuss together how you can organise and master your studies without worries.
