Masters Study Abroad
All our Masters programmes offer the opportunity for you to compete for a place on our popular postgraduate study abroad programmes. This gives you the chance spend an additional semester at one of our partner institutions, to experience a new culture and academic environment, learn a new language, and extend your professional and personal networks.
When would I go?
These programmes start anytime between the end of July and the beginning of October, depending on our partner institution term dates. You will need to take their dissertation into consideration before applying.
You can enrol on whatever courses you choose, so you can tailor your programme to your personal interests. These courses do not count towards your Lancaster degree, so it's a great opportunity to enhance your CV with new subject areas that complement those you have studied at LUMS. There are no additional fees charged to study at our partners, but you have to budget for living and travel costs including visas and additional insurance costs.
How to Apply?
Applications are only accepted once you have arrived, so you will get full details of the options available in your programme handbook when you register. We also hold promotional sessions during the first term, enabling you to find out more about what is involved. If you then decide to apply for a place, you need to do so in February– i.e. in your second term at LUMS. The selection is based on the results you have achieved in your coursework during your first term at LUMS.
