Sponsorship, Corporate Membership and Scholarships

Sponsorship

Through Sponsorship, companies can become directly involved with LSBU students and their activities including student societies, prizes and careers events; with community activities through projects with schools; with academic programmes through conferences, sponsored posts and course materials; or our wider work via public lectures. We are always happy to devise tailored sponsorship programmes to meet specific corporate objectives.

Corporate Membership

We believe in building robust partnerships with businesses for mutual benefit. Our corporate Membership Programme offers companies substantial recruitment opportunities through our excellent Graduate Recruitment Service including access to recruitment fairs, work placements, company-focused workshops and presentations and a promotional service for graduate vacancies. Corporate Membership also offers association with specific professional areas, student scholarships and high profile University events.

Scholarships

Through Scholarships, companies can support those students who have the academic ability for a university education, but lack the financial means. By supporting able and deserving individuals through scholarships, companies assist them, and their communities, industry and the wider economy by ensuring their talents are fully developed. Companies providing scholarships benefit from direct association with talented students and LSBU's broader work.
