About London South Bank University
Overview
Study in the heart of London with London South Bank University (LSBU) – an institute that empowers students to lead their story, celebrate their individuality and nurture their success. Join a diverse and dynamic community of students, lecturers, staff and alumni in this vibrant city.
LSBU cares about making a difference and creating an impact. Teaching is designed with industry partners to give students a head start in the working world. Through career-focused pathways delivered by academics with real-world experience, and support plans tailored to help students to get to where they need to be, LSBU is the perfect environment to thrive.
Across three campuses in Southwark, Croydon and Havering, LSBU offers a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses spanning eight academic departments, each of which conduct world-leading research and remain actively involved in their respective industries:
The university’s abundant transport links and competitively priced accommodation can make studying in the number one student city in the world a reality. The Southwark Campus is only a minute’s walk to the London Underground and is well serviced by bus routes, meaning places like Covent Garden, Tate Modern and the British Film Institute are all within easy reach.
Facilities
The university has invested over £65 million into its facilities over the past 3 years. The award-winning LSBU Hub opened in 2022 and is the centrepiece of the Southwark Campus, with a new expansive library, group and self-study areas, budget-friendly eateries and more.
Fees & Funding
Are you an international student looking to kickstart your global career at LSBU? If so, their new LSBU Future Global Graduate Awards could help you benefit from the high-quality, career focused education that LSBU offers.
LSBU Future Global Graduate Awards:
In recognition of the continued commitment of international students to London South Bank University we are proud to launch the LSBU Future Global Graduate Awards.
The awards are given in the form of a tuition fee discount to international students on acceptance of their offer and receipt of their deposit by a set deadline. Students may only accept one of the awards.
The Vice-Chancellor’s International Merit Award
The Vice Chancellor’s International Merit Award recognises outstanding academic achievement of students obtaining grades equivalent to AAB and above at UK A-level (approximately 75% or above in other international school leaving certificates) and comprises an award of £2,000 for each academic year.
The Global Success Scholarship
The second award, The Global Success Scholarship, is worth up to £4,000 and awarded to international students to provide them a springboard to kickstart their global career at LSBU, meaning the practical career-focused courses provide even greater value.
Careers
LSBU students themselves say they feel supported by their teaching teams, encouraged to explore ideas and concepts and even that they love that their learning from previous modules is applied in the next one.
According to the National Student Survey (NSS) scores, which come directly from LSBU students, LSBU has increased for the 3rd time running this year and won’t stop improving and making them feel even more prepared for their future.
The views of their students are also captured in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) rating, a scheme run by the Office for Students (OfS). The university currently hold an overall score of Silver, with work to help students develop their skills in a way that also meets the needs of society being noted as a particular stand-out feature.
The different approach we take to assess you during your studies has also been rated highly, with students saying our teaching is very high quality.
