As an international student, I found LPU as home due to many national and international students from different countries. LPU has a good conducive learning atmosphere, well-experienced and hardworking faculties that are ready to support and encourage students all the time. It enabled me to have an excellent academic performance. Indeed LPU is a home of all students who wish to excel in their fields irrespective of where ever they come from around the Globe. My experience in LPU is wonderful and interesting.
When I came to LPU for my study, l was overwhelmed by LPU's learner's friendly environment with supportive staff, course mates and instructors. LPU is really a place to learn with lots of exciting experiences and innovations. LPU’s curriculum and the extracurricular activities are ultimately designed to broaden the mental horizons of the students in the competitive world.
Studying at LPU was a life-changing experience. It not only provided me with the knowledge required to understand Sociology but also the skills to evaluate new ideas and the emerging complexity of our society. It helped me develop a critical mind to view issues from different perspectives, made me feel empowered and also increased my confidence in taking on my next career challenges.
My overall experience at LPU has been fantastic. The University's educational programme is comprehensive and beneficial to a career-oriented student. Their regular events enabled me to maintain cordial relationships with everyone and showed me how to operate as part of a team. The faculty and staff have always encouraged me to broaden my education beyond the academic curriculum and have contributed to my development through professional learning.
My experience at Lovely professional university has been very wonderful. I have learnt a lot, not just academically but in all other aspects of career development. Faculty members have been supportive throughout. The all time support and motivation of the faculty members has enlightened me throughout this wonderful journey. Proud to be part of such a glorious institute.
Choosing to study at LPU has been one of the greatest decisions I have made.
I have learnt so many things academically. I am glad that I got what I wanted as a student. From my perspective LPU is exceptional. No discrimination of any sorts either from the lecturers or fellow students. If I am to further my education in India, I will choose LPU over again.
Lovely Professional University is best for pursuing Doctoral studies. The staff here is experienced and well educated. The faculty supports the PhD students in every manner. The university has a research center useful for higher studies students. Anyone who is interested in pursuing PhD courses should prefer LPU as the first choice.
