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

Partial scholarship recipients can further their studies to postgraduate level at LSC and receive additional scholarship toward their Master programme. The tuition fee for one year Master Programme will then only cost 2,950 Pounds. (Price subject to terms and conditions,m and school’s policy at times of application)

Postgraduate Studies
LSC has many Master’s degree programmes in the field of Business, Finance and Information Technology. The postgraduate scholarship deducts 45% of the tuition fee.

Disclaimer

The student is responsible for submitting a complete application, according to the steps described under 1-5 by 1 April 2012. Leiden University cannot be held responsible for late and/or incomplete applications.
Please note

Students should be aware that this is not a full scholarship. It is necessary to find additional funding to be able to finance their study and stay completely. One of the requirements for being granted a residence permit in the Netherlands is that students must submit proof that they have sufficient financial means to finance their study period in the Netherlands. Leiden University advises a budget, not including the tuition fee, of approx. €10,000 to €15,000 per year to cover the costs for rent, insurance, living expenses, course books and local transportation. How much money students actually spend will of course depend on their life style and spending habits.
