How the 2+2 works

Students studying on most undergraduate programmes at XJTLU have the option of completing the final two years of their dual degree here at the University of Liverpool.

If you are in stage 1 at XJTLU and are interested in the 2+2 programme, it is important that you choose a programme with a 2+2 option during the programme choice application.

If you are in stage 2, the Liverpool Mobility Manager at XJTLU, working with colleagues at both universities, will lead a series of information sessions and webinars to guide you through everything you need to know to successfully transfer to Liverpool.

Topics covered will include:

  • Why Choose the 2+2?
  • Finding the right accommodation
  • How to obtain your student visa
  • Pre-arrival preparations
  • The Liverpool Welcome.
