International FAQs

No, all of our undergraduate and postgraduate courses start in September.

If there are any personal circumstances that may delay your arrival, you must contact internationaladmissions@lcm.ac.uk as soon possible to discuss the situation.

The English requirements vary depending on whether you require a visa to study in the UK, and whether English is the main spoken language in your home country.

Our English Language Entry Requirements table provides details on any exams or qualifications you may need to take.

Applicants from outside the EU will automatically be considered for an Excellence Scholarship. These are awarded on merit based on the strength of your audition, and constitute a £2,000 fee discount. For every year that you pass without re-assessments, your scholarship will also apply to the following year’s fees. The fee discount does not apply to tuition fees for the foundation year, so applicants for four year BA with Foundation courses who qualify for an Excellence Scholarship must first pass their foundation year without reassessments before they can receive it.
