Universities in Luxembourg. Ranking and popularity
There are many options for higher education in Luxembourg, in all kinds of formats and in all kinds of fields: private, public, technical, humanities and others. However, for various reasons, some higher education institutions are more popular than others, despite their wide range of programmes.
University of Luxembourg
The country's main university was established only in 2003. This makes it one of the youngest universities in the world. Despite this, it has risen steadily over the past 20 years. This year, it was ranked among the top 250 universities in the world. In 2022, the result was a little worse — it was only in the top 300.
The University of Luxembourg offers courses in science, law, medicine and many related fields. Although it's quite difficult to get in. It all depends on your letter of motivation and your average grades in your previous studies. It is still a major goal for thousands of applicants from all over the world.
Luxembourg School of Business
Another young university that couldn't help but appear in Europe's financial centre. The Luxembourg School of Business offers master's programmes in management, finance and tax law, both in Luxembourg and abroad.
The school has been opened in 2014 and has become quite popular among those who want to develop their management skills and dedicate themselves to the financial sector.
A CV and a letter of motivation are also required for the application. The university provides detailed guidelines on how to write your letter and explains exactly what steps the applicant will have to take. LSB also has full brochures on how the course is structured.
The European Institute of Public Administration
This university is older than the previous two — it was founded in 1981. It has two campuses, one in Luxembourg and one in Barcelona. It is considered the best public sector university in Europe, training future civil servants.
The school's success is due to its effective mix of theory and practical skills. Education is based not only on research data but also on the real experience of managing and interacting with ministries, agencies and other institutions.
Due to the increasing number of challenges in the public sector, it has been in great demand recently.
