Students applying to Leeds University Business School (LUBS) must follow a structured application process that applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
For undergraduate admissions, applicants must apply via UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) and submit academic transcripts, a personal statement, and proof of English language proficiency. Some programs may require additional documentation or interviews based on course requirements.
For postgraduate programs, including Master’s degrees and MBA, applications are submitted directly through the Leeds University Business School website. Requirements typically include academic transcripts, a CV/resume, a personal statement, references, and, for certain programs, GMAT/GRE scores and relevant work experience. Some courses may also conduct interviews as part of the selection process.
