LCEM :: International Students

We welcome international student applicants for all programs. You are encouraged to apply using our online application at least two months in advance of the start of the program starting date.

What academic records are required by the LCOEM?

An official copy of all records of any previous schooling (mark sheets, transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc.) must be submitted as official certified documents directly from each institution. Any photocopies must have the signature of a school official and the school seal. These records must show courses taken and grades earned and must be translated into English if the original records are in another language. When a translation is supplied, the original record must also be included. Translations must be officially certified by a translator or interpreter. All records should be mailed to us.

What are the visa procedures?

Once the application for admission is approved, the college acceptance letter will be mailed to the applicant. A prospective international student should not make plans to enter the United Kingdom before receiving a letter of acceptance . It will be necessary to present these documents at the U.K. Embassy/Consulate when applying for the student visa, and again upon arrival into the United Kingdom, and finally, during registration at the College. If further documentation is needed in obtaining a student visa, please contact the Office of Admissions.
