About the Business Solutions Centre

One front door to LSBU Business School’s business support, student projects, applied research and partnerships.

What is the BSC?

The Business Solutions Centre is LSBU Business School’s single front door for business engagement. Every enquiry, from a first conversation to a long-term strategic partnership, comes through one point of contact and is matched to the right people and the right kind of support.

Access to connected ecosystem, including SME support, student projects, applied research and knowledge exchange. Businesses get support that draws on the whole Business School; students gain real experience with real organisations; and the results feed into research and teaching that benefit London’s wider economy.

The BSC’s work spans four areas of support, Enterprise Education, Entrepreneurship, Employability, Placements and Internships, and Research and Knowledge Exchange (see our Businesses and Partners page).
