Posted:
NCUK is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership between the University of Leeds and Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC) in Peru. This collaboration will create a new educational pathway for students in Peru to access world-class UK higher education through a dedicated 2+2 programme.
The partnership will enable students to begin their undergraduate studies at UPC before joining the second year of their degree at the University of Leeds.*
This model allows students to benefit from high-quality university preparation in their home country before seamlessly transitioning to one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities to complete their undergraduate education.
We are delighted to announce this partnership with the University of Leeds and UPC, This initiative builds on our successful international education model and extends the reach of UK higher education to talented students in Peru. By combining UPC’s excellent teaching facilities with Leeds’ world-renowned business programmes, we’re creating valuable opportunities for Peruvian students.

Martin Maule, Director, International Pathway Programmes at the University of Leeds commented:
The University of Leeds is committed to developing global talent and this partnership represents an important step in our international strategy. We look forward to welcoming qualified students from UPC and supporting their academic journey at Leeds.
