LU campus
The campus of the educational institution is suburban. It combines the features of a rural and urban campus. Students live separately from the city and create a close-knit community. At the same time, they are not very far from the city and have access not only to urban entertainment, such as cinemas and restaurants, but also to outdoor activities. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Student life at LU is filled with intercultural activities, as not only local students study here, but also students from abroad. The exchange of knowledge and experience, networking and new acquaintances — all this is an integral part of studenthood.
To stay in the country for another year after graduation, you need to renew your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
