The Pre-Bachelor Foundation Programme (PBFP)  is designed for students who wish to join any of our bachelor’s programmes but who do not yet fully meet the admission requirements in English and/or Science. It will give you the preparation you need to start your degree with confidence and succeed in your studies.
Programme structure
The PBFP consists of three main modules:

You can apply online for the Pre-Bachelor Foundation Programme at any time. Just fill out our Online Application Form.
You will be required to submit your documents as soon as possible to finalise your application at LUNEX.
After receiving your online application for one of our study programmes, we will invite you to one of our Application Days. Based on the test results achieved there, we will decide whether you will be admitted directly to the course of study or whether you should first participate in our Pre-Bachelor Foundation Programme to complete and expand your knowledge.
Once your application is accepted, you will receive your study agreement by e-mail. Please sign it and send it by post or by e-mail to LUNEX.
Please be aware that your previous diplomas may require a recognition with Luxembourg authorities.
