Student Council | Deliberation Format to Strengthen Student Participation

The Student Council project brings student deliberation into the development of Leuphana's new Transformation Module.

What is it about?

With the reform of the Leuphana Semester, the new Transformation Module (T-Modul) was introduced in winter semester 2025/26 as a foundational module for all first-year students across the five faculties. How can the students who take the module systematically contribute their perspectives to its further development?

Goals

• Establish a deliberative participation format in which a representatively sampled group of students feeds its perspectives into the development of the Transformation Module
• Evaluate the format itself as a model of participatory teaching development

Approach

The council convenes three to four times per semester. It works on questions of structure, content and the interplay of teaching formats (lecture, seminar, project work). Its work is accompanied by research that evaluates the format. Around 1,400 first-year students per cohort benefit indirectly.
