About this programme

The Individual Research Master at Leuphana University allows students to design their own personalised, research-oriented curriculum. At the core of the programme is an individually developed research project that students pursue throughout their studies under close guidance from an academic mentor. Students select courses from different disciplines to build an interdisciplinary profile that supports their research focus. The programme places strong emphasis on developing advanced academic skills, including research design, methodological competence, and scientific reflection. It encourages students to engage in independent scholarly work, ranging from empirical studies to theoretical investigations. International experiences such as research stays or study periods abroad are integrated into the programme and can significantly enrich the student’s individual research trajectory.
