Prospective Students

Study in London at this top-ranking university for graduate salaries. We know how important it is to offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees that equip students with the right skills for their future careers.

Finance

We know you may have concerns about financing your time at university and so we’ve made it as easy as we can for you. We don't means test our students and with our financial support package everybody qualifies for some financial help, not just our home students.

The LSBU Annual Bursary is worth £2,250 to our full-time home and EU undergraduates over three years and the best thing is you don't have to pay it back.

Our university

For over 100 years LSBU has been educating students and been a strong part of our local landscape. As quoted in The Sunday Times University Guide for 2007 "life here has a mature, cosmopolitan feel". We, like the city around us, have had to evolve so we know all about progress and innovation. Currently we are investing £47 million into our campus, set in the heart of London, to allow us to continue to provide the best student facilities and the first stage of improvements will be completed as soon as 2009.

Our aim

Our aim is to provide fair and equal access to a university education to all those who have the potential to succeed or benefit from it.

London South Bank University welcomes applications from motivated students with appropriate qualifications, both traditional and non-traditional, academic and vocational. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and have a whole range of different qualifications both from the UK and overseas. We consider applicants to our courses solely on the basis of their merit, ability and potential. Applications from mature students who have no formal qualifications may be considered provided they have relevant work experience.

We will consider all information contained within the application form, or produced at interview or audition. This might include past academic performance, predicted grades, personal statements, academic and personal references and any other evidence of skills, aptitude and potential to succeed.

Our admissions policy complies with relevant legislation and is guided by the principles outlined by the Admissions to Higher Education Steering Group, "Fair admissions to higher education: recommendations for good practice".
