Enter a university abroad
Bachelor degree at LU
In United Kingdom, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country. Applicants with good academic performance are accepted to undergraduate programs. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. A subject exam is required. The university relies on the A-Level results. Upon admission, an IB diploma is accepted.
Master's degree at LU
When considering candidates for master's programs, the admission committee of the university pays attention to the student's academic performance during the undergraduate program. To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. There is an opportunity to study at LU via online master's programs.
LU campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in the countryside, so it is especially suitable for nature lovers. Since it is located away from the city, students hold all activities on campus and thus create a close-knit community. The advantages of this location include access to various types of outdoor recreation and fewer distractions from study than in a city. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books. Thanks to international exchange programs at LU, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
