Lebanese German University

Lebanese German University is a higher education institution operating in Lebanon and promoting German methods, discipline, openness and integrity at all levels. The mission of LGU is to promote economic, social, cultural and environmental progress for the community. This mission is achieved by producing graduates competitive in the global economy, supporting a continuous search for new knowledge and solutions, and maintaining a rigorous focus on academic excellence. The Lebanese German University was founded by the Lebanese German Association for the Promotion of Culture (ALAC). Back in 1981, a group of Germans residing in Lebanon founded a non-profit NGO with the help of Lebanese friends in view of promoting and developing cultural and educational exchange between Europe and the Middle East – more particularly between Germany or other German-speaking countries and Lebanon, which is the heart of higher education in the region. The Lebanese German University is another proof of the Lebanese German cooperation that has flourished over three decades in a most rewarding manner. The close academic links that are constantly woven with German and European counterparts, the fruitful cultural exchange that is building up, and the unrelenting endeavor to offer high quality education are once more exemplified in this superior academic establishment.
