Joint Degree is where LSPR students can get a chance to earn 2 degrees after successful completion of study requirements from LSPR and another university abroad. This program lets the student earn 2 degrees in a span of 4 years only. LSPR students need to pay their tuition fee in LSPR while they are studying in LSPR. They also need to pay for the tuition fee in the foreign university during their study period abroad, together with the living cost and personal expenses. The subjects learnt during these semesters have to be agreed upon by LSPR, as the credits for subjects learnt in the foreign university will be transferred back to their respective home institutions. The study duration abroad ranges from 1 year (3+1) to 2 years (2+2). In the 3+1 Dual Degree Programme, the students will study in LSPR for the first 3 years and finish their final year abroad to obtain the degrees. In the 2+2 Dual Degree Programme, the students will study in LSPR for the first two years and finish the rest of the two years in the host university abroad to obtain the degrees.
A double degree is an academic program where a student can earn two bachelor’s degrees from two different educational institutions simultaneously. In a double degree program, students will follow the curriculum set by both institutions, and upon completing all the necessary requirements, they will be awarded a bachelor’s degree from both institutions. A double degree program usually involves collaboration between universities or educational institutions in different countries. Students will spend some time studying at each institution, and the result is earning two degrees that are recognized both in their home country and in the country offering the program.

University Visit
LSPR Institute of Communication and Business quite often conducts visits to universities to build relationships and cooperation.
Upscale Workshop
LSPR prepares activity sessions for students and lecturers wrapped in seminars to increase creativity and knowledge in general and more broadly about an international topic or theme, with output results such as how to understand more deeply brand positioning and digital marketing in a particular case study in the surrounding environment.
Language Courses
LSPR is involved in teaching languages, such as English, French, and other languages in cooperation with its partner universities in China, Russia, India, the Netherlands, and other countries. This aims to afford students the opportunity to improve their language proficiency necessary for communication and survival in international markets.
For instance, through the partnership with universities in China, LSPR provides courses in Mandarin Chinese. Since Mandarin is among the most spoken languages in the world and is highly needed for business and diplomatic relationships between other countries and China, this language course therefore equips the students of LSPR with valuable skills towards the Chinese-speaking global economy.
Through the partnership with Russian universities, LSPR also provides courses in the Russian language. Russian is a pivotal language in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and proficiency in the language will be beneficial to students in pursuit of international relations, politics, or business careers in these regions. Similarly, in partnership with universities in India, LSPR may provide language courses in Hindi, one of the most spoken languages in India. These courses relate students to the growing economy and culturally rich market of India, thus setting them up for better prospects for a career in South Asia.
In addition, with a partnership with universities in the Netherlands, LSPR also teaches Dutch. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname, and it’s helpful for students who plan on pursuing careers in European or international businesses that have dealings with the Dutch-speaking parts of the world.
These language courses are part of LSPR’s endeavor in adding a global view toward its students by making them proficient in cross-cultural communications during this globally interconnected era. Such foreign language learning has broadened the horizons toward further knowledge and understanding of these diverse cultures, thereby preparing the prospective international PR, communication, and business professionals for truly accomplished careers.
