The University of Kentucky (UK) is the flagship university of the state of Kentucky. A leading public research university, UK is on an exciting path – one that’s conducting groundbreaking research in areas such as energy, the environment and cancer. Yet UK remains one of the most affordable major universities in the United States.
Ranked in the top 330 academic programs in the world, UK is one of only eight universities in the U.S. to offer the full range of academic programs on one campus – Agriculture, Architecture, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. This allows our students to have a true multidisciplinary college experience.
The University of Kentucky has joined with a small number of universities worldwide to cooperate on strategically important internationalization activities. These key partnerships serve as platforms for new initiatives, expand opportunities for bilateral and multilateral collaboration, advance critically important institutional objectives, and accrue benefits not only to the partners themselves but also to our communities.
With more than 200 academic programs spread across 17 colleges and professional schools, more than 450 student organizations and clubs excited for new members or the 22 varsity sports programs to follow throughout the year, there is something for everyone at the University of Kentucky. Visit our admissions website for answers, insights, and stories that hopefully make your college decision a little easier.
*Scholarship deadline for International Students is December 1.
Scholarships are competitive and are awarded to the top candidates in the applicant pool. The candidates will be evaluated on multiple criteria, including their academic background, a potential to positively represent their home country and the University of Kentucky, an essay, leadership experience, extracurricular activities, awards and recognition, community service. Even though scholarships are open to all students, unfortunately, not all who apply will be offered scholarships. However, we assure each applicant that his or her application will receive consideration and fair treatment in this competitive process.
The University of Kentucky is regularly listed in many “top” or “best of” categories by national publications or organizations and it is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral Degrees.
A vibrant, bustling city with the hospitality of a southern town, Lexington is on the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region. This safe and friendly city is also home to a vibrant international community. There’s always something to do and you can easily get away from the city buzz by exploring the horse farms and all that Kentucky has to offer.

The newer dorms are extremely nice, with separate bedrooms and Tempur-Pedic full size XL beds, you may find youself asking if that is an actual college dorm or just a fancy hotel room.” –Henrique Correa, Brazil
