"The University of Luxembourg (UL) has been founded in 2003 as the first and only university of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. It is a small-sized institution with an international reach and aims at excellence in research and education. In a reduced number of research fields identified by its successive strategic plans, its ambition is to be among the world's top universities. UL intends to be innovative, centered on research, primarily interested in the quality of the structure it offers to its students, its teachers, and its researchers and attentive to the needs of the society around it.
The UL specializes in fulltime courses at the second and third degree levels (master and doctorate). It offers bachelor's degrees in a limited number of disciplines as well as certain lifelong learning programmes. With the excellence of its curriculum and its research, it aims to be a focal point for elite students, teachers and researchers from all over the world.
The UL has made an interdisciplinary approach one of the main features of its development strategy. It takes advantage of the potential of research in academic niches at the crossroads of different disciplines.
The mobility of students, teachers and researchers which promotes cultural openness is encouraged and constitutes an integral component of the University's strategy just like multilingualism. In these two fields, the UL intends to become a laboratory for the European university of the future."
