Lancaster University Leipzig’s foundation programme is a preparatory step that many school graduates may want to or must complete to be eligible for our undergraduate programmes. Considering its global outreach, the university is keen to ensure that regardless of the country of origin, experience, or completed school curriculum students have equal chances to study at Lancaster University Leipzig.

Benefits of studying Pre-Master’s

Lancaster University Leipzig offers own taught foundation programmes coupled with the undergraduate degree of your choice. A foundation programme is addressed to students who:

• Completed a school curriculum that is insufficient for bachelor’s degree entry
