Our students are achievers! Throughout their time with us our students and researchers take part in a number of practical and research assignments and projects. Their achievements may include an end-of-year assessment, a creative project, a performance, a work placement, voluntary work, an external competition or professional collaboration.
Listed below are just some of the student projects that you'll find in our department sections.
BA (Hons) Digital Film and Video
In his final year at LSBU, Simon produced a short film Je suis un robot for a module that is 100% project based. The project gives students a very practical experience of working from a creative brief and simulates the conditions they'd usually meet in professional practice.
PGCE Primary
Students on all our courses of initial teacher education spend time on placement in school. The opportunity to experience high quality training in school, and to learn from the example of experienced teachers is an essential part of the journey to becoming a teacher.
Justin was voted Chairman of the British Psychological Society Student Members’ Group (BPS SMG). This gave him the opportunity to become involved with the body which represents all psychologists and psychology students across the UK.
BA (Hons) Music & Sonic Media
This is an exploration of the possibility of staging the first live music show from the edge of space. Inspired by the dawning of the era of space tourism and after hearing about Richard Branson buying the X-PRIZE winning spaceship in 2004 Joshua felt we are now in a race with several groups around the world to gain exclusive rights to be the first to create such an event.
Self-belief and a sense of commitment are great assets for entering the law.
PGDip Town Planning
Like all good ideas, the concept for our website was born during a chat in a pub. A group of LSBU students were discussing how difficult it was as we were based at a variety of locations. We then thought about how the world was becoming smaller through technology and wondered why distance should cause us such difficulties. So we came up with the idea for the Planning Scholars website.
PGCE
Students on our PGCE courses collaborated with children and teachers from over 20 primary schools on The Charlie Chaplin Project, a large scale community history project which focused on life in Southwark and Lambeth during Chaplin's childhood. Participating in the project allowed them to experience how creative interpretation of a thematic cross-curricular approach to stimulating children can extend the range of their learning experiences.
Law LLB (Hons)
Coming to university is not always the obvious choice. For some people they go against cultural tradition and expectations to follow their dream. Tahmina did just that. Taking support from everyone around her, she chose to do something different and has created an entirely different future.
