All campuses are places where our 16,000 students can feel completely at home. We put maximum effort into our facilities to offer students the perfect working and living environment. UCLL consists of 5 faculties: Health, Social Work, Management, Technology, and Teacher Education. The faculties offer 18 professional bachelor’s programmes,11 one-year, advanced bachelor’s programmes and 46 postgraduate certificate training programmes.

UCLL is proud to be one of the nine HEI testing partners of the Accelerate Future HEI team, as it is in our DNA to always accelerate and move forward. Our Moving Minds DNA is the UCLL educational vision, which aims to deliver bachelor-proof alumni to society. You don’t just become a moving mind, you choose it! Every student with a strong and authentic personality, broad-minded and not averse to thinking outside the box, can become a real Moving Mind at UCLL.
