Students fulfill the Kampus Südpol
With the new academic year, the Department of Music at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU-M) is beginning to revitalize the building on the Südpol campus. It also records 221 new admissions.
On the campus, more than 500 Bachelor's and Master's students, almost 500 continuing education participants and around 200 employees of the School of Music will learn, teach and conduct research as well as present their work to the public on around 8,000 square meters. With the new building, the Lucerne School of Music is bringing together its previous four locations spread across Lucerne in one place. The new building will be officially opened with a musical program from 11 to 13 September. Public events will be held in the three new concert halls until the end of the year.
The coronavirus crisis is particularly evident in the numbers of foreign students: most international students come from Europe, while enrolments from non-European countries have decreased significantly. The group of exchange students who only come to HSLU for one semester has shrunk. Only half as many students registered for an exchange semester as in the previous year.
