Liverpool is one of the best places to be a student. It's a vibrant, iconic city, rich with different cultures. Liverpool is one of the friendliest cities I've ever been to, which makes it feel like a second home.

Entry requirements: which qualifications do you need?

Pathway programmes for applicants from Albania

Many countries have a different education system to that of the UK, so you may need further preparation before you can start university here. Pathway programmes provide an entry route for international students whose qualifications do not meet our entry requirements.

After successfully completing your Foundation Certificate or pre-Master’s programme, you're guaranteed a place on your chosen course. Pathway programmes are offered through the University of Liverpool International College.
