- Master’s Degree programmes include specialisations like Business Administration, with options in Management and Entrepreneurship, as well as an MBA. The university also offers many other Master’s programmes across its colleges.
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD): LMU offers doctoral programmes in a wide range of fields, similar to its Master’s programmes. These include Industrial Physics, as well as other science, engineering, agricultural, and social science disciplines.
Since the list of available specialisations may change each year, applicants should check the School of Postgraduate Studies’ official “Programmes” page for the most up-to-date 2026/2027 course catalogue.
