[edit]
  • School of Engineering and Architecture (Hochschule Luzern – Technik & Architektur)
  • School of Computer Science and Information Technology (Hochschule Luzern – Informatik)
  • Business School and Management (Hochschule Luzern – Wirtschaft)
  • School of Social Work (Hochschule Luzern – Soziale Arbeit)

Academic programs

[edit]

The University offers English and German based education with levels from undergraduate to graduate. Bachelor, Master and certificate programs are available in fields like design, music, fine arts, animation 2D/3D, object design, banking & finance, international management & economics, sustainable energy systems, to list a few from the other variety courses they offer.[8][9][10]

Beginning with Winter Semester 2018, the university announced that students can now study yodeling. This announcement drew press coverage due to its association with the German term Jodeldiplom, a term for a useless or vanity-driven degree.[11][12] At the end of the course of study, the students will be awarded a Bachelor of Arts in music.
