UK University Undergraduate Top-Up Degree: Progression to the final stage of a bachelor’s degree (subject to university requirements)
LSMM provides guidance and classes, if needed, to prepare for IELTS.
By completing earlier stages of study through LSMM from their own country, students may reduce the overall cost of achieving a UK degree compared with completing all years of study in the UK.
Studying for the first few years of your qualification pathway in your home country can help reduce expenses associated with studying overseas, including:
✓ UK accommodation costs
✓ Day-to-day living expenses
✓ Travel and relocation costs
✓ Costs associated with studying multiple years in the UK
This provides students with a more accessible route to achieving an internationally recognised UK degree.
LSMM helps students prepare for their Top-up degree by providing guidance on:
✓ Understanding UK higher education pathways
✓ Providing suitable progression options
✓ Preparing for the IELTS test
✓ Preparing university applications
✓ Developing academic and study skills
✓ Understanding university entry requirements
Our aim is to support students in making informed decisions about their future education journey.
This pathway may be suitable for students who:
✓ Wish to take a cost-effective and alternative route to get a UK University Degree.
✓ Have completed qualification required to enrol for higher education i.e. 10+2 or A Levels.
✓ Relevant academic background for the chosen degree subject
