MUDEC values the richness that emerges when individuals bring different backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences to the community. We welcome students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social, cultural, educational, and personal contexts. These may include differences in socioeconomic background, nationality, language, belief systems, gender, age, and service experience. We are committed to creating a learning environment that helps students engage thoughtfully with the cultural and social complexity of Luxembourg and Europe.
Luxembourg is open to the LGBTQIA+ community. Recently, Luxembourg had the first openly gay Prime Minster in Europe. was a popular leader in the country. The country also hosts a Gay Pride week every year in the summer time and has a number of resources to promote LGTBQ-friendly activities across the country.
The government of Luxembourg does not formally collect data on religious affiliation. They do this to promote freedom of religion. Roughly 73% of the nation identifies as Christians (with Roman Catholic as the predominant denomination), but inside this small country you can still find several mosques as well as synagogues and other places to worship various religions. The Luxembourg constitution protects freedom of religion and safeguards individuals from being forced to participate in any religious act, if they do not choose.
Nearly half of the Luxembourgish population of 630,000+ is not native to the country. In fact, hundreds of thousands of those living there are immigrants from other countries in Europe like Portugal or the Balkan region and recently an increase from Middle Eastern nations as well, leading to a mosaic of diverse linguistic, cultural, ethnic, and religious influences.
