After completing the full Masters programme at LUMS, selected students can study at Católica-Lisbon for an additional semester (September to January) and follow a specific academic study plan in Portugal within the School's Master of Science in Business Administration.
To be eligible for this option students will need to achieve an average of 65% in their first term on the MSc at LUMS and the same average at the end of the spring term. More information on the double degree scheme.
Funding for European students
For UK and EU students, some of these exchange programmes – specifically those lasting 12 weeks or longer – qualify for some grant support under the EU's Erasmus programme. The amount available varies each year, depending on the overall sum allocated to Lancaster University by the EU.
