The University of Leipzig (German: Universität Leipzig), located in the Free State of Saxony, is one of the oldest universities in Europe and the second-oldest university in Germany founded at the beginning of the 15th century. It has a long tradition of globally oriented and culturally comparative historical research and tertiary-level teaching. The alma mater Lipsiensis originally comprised four faculties: the Faculty of Arts and the three ‘higher’ faculties, i.e. Theology, Medicine and Law. That structure based on four large faculties remained unchanged for some 500 years. Today there are 14 faculties within the University. With about 25.000 students Universität Leipzig is Saxony’s second largest university.
