## **Admission and application** Normally international students face the same admission conditions as regular students (USJ international scholarships page); the website blocks scripted PDF download (copies read through the fetch tool).

Durations derived from ECTS credits (60 credits per year). **Language requirement:** English programmes: English Placement Test Level A, or TOEFL iBT 80 / PBT 548 or IELTS 6.5 (Business School: Level C with an English upgrade course; ESIB and Speech Therapy: Level B or same scores). French-language programmes need Level A of the USJ French aptitude test. 1. Choose a programme taught in English and an admission period (early, regular or late). 2. Apply online or at a submission office; international candidates who studied the last three secondary years abroad may use the 'admission for international candidates' quota route (file-based, exam-based or title-based with an average of 17/20 in the French baccalaureate). 3. Provide a Lebanese Baccalaureate or an equivalent accepted by MEHE (certified copy), transcripts and passport copy. 4.
