   • Candidates must be able to demonstrate their academic abilities and what they aim to achieve.

   • Candidates must be suitably proficient in the language of instruction (French, German, Italian or English). A language test is required.

The FCS is composed of academic staff drawn from Swiss universities. Scholarship awards are made on the basis of academic and scientific excellence. The results will be communicated at the end of April 2012 / Mai 2012.

As the associate college of the university, all degrees from LSC are awarded by CMU. LSC is fully accredited by the ASIC (Accreditation Service for International Colleges) and is a member of Education United Kingdom as well as one of the very first institutions in the UK to receive the UK Border Tier 4 status as ‘Highly Trusted’. LSC has approximately 7,000 students from 130 countries.

LSC has a mission of providing cost-effective education by giving a high quality standard of teaching from an internationally recognised university in the UK without the need to spend a large amount of money and time. At the moment, LSC is offering partial scholarships to 20 Indonesian nationals per intake. The enrolment at LSC group’s global campuses is conducted 3 times a year, giving the students flexibility of joining the programmes at the most convenient time.

There are many benefits of studying in LSC, all the lecturers are highly qualified and many of them are the authors of the textbooks and journals that will be used in the students’ study. Moreover, not only the students’ English language capability will increase, but also gives opportunities to interact with other international students to enlarge the students’ network.

The partial scholarship program is open to undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate studies. The scholarship offers an up to 45% cut of the tuition fee and does not include the living cost as well as other expenses.

Undergraduate Courses

BA (Hons) Business Studies
The BA (Hons) Business Studies Programme is designed to prepare students for entry level employment and future managerial positions in a variety of commercial, industrial and service organisations.

BSc (Hons) Computing
This undergraduate programme will introduce you to various areas of computer applications including latest developments in the Information Technology industry. Increasingly, employers see a computing qualification as a sign of a well-rounded ?academic background. ?Fast growing computing technology and information systems have become critical components of almost every enterprise. Companies want to recruit expert professionals who can apply computer science principles, whilst simultaneously demonstrating business knowledge and application proficiency. The principle aim of the programme is therefore to endow you with the knowledge, skills and potential to embark on a career involving computer applications in the international environment.

BSc (Hons) Accounting (conducted at LSC’s division of SBL)
Professionals with degrees in Accounting are?in greater demand than ever, as companies of?all sizes are scrutinised by a larger number of stakeholders. The competitive pressures and new markets in the global economy require expertise in traditional accounting as well as the knowledge and foresight to help companies adapt to change and capitalise on opportunities. ?Medium forecasts through the next decade indicate that this demand for accountants will continue to grow faster than the national average for most other occupations. Greater regulatory pressure and substantial fluctuations in the economy will help create steady demand for those with extensive accounting training from accredited programmes.

The partial scholarship recipient will be given a 45% cut of the tuition fee. Thus the whole tuition fee will only be £6,950 for the whole 2 years duration of accelerated undergraduate studies.

Degree Foundation: £1,000 for students who do not meet the general requirement of direct entry to Undergraduate programme.

Other benefit is, for students who are under 18 years old or have not finished their final year studies, they can enrol to the Academic English and Degree Foundation studies at LSC’s Malaysian campus – Westminster International College, located in
