Sichuan University (SCU) partnership
Our partnership with Sichuan University (SCU) provides an admissions pathway for students who have successfully completed the first three years of their Bachelor's programme at SCU to join a designated study abroad year. Students who successfully complete this year (120 credits at level 3) are then eligible to progress directly to a corresponding Leeds MSc programme, subject to meeting the minimum entry requirements.
Students successfully completing the five-year study period graduate with a Bachelor's degree from SCU and a University of Leeds Masters degree.
