Pre-university programmes for international students
What is a Foundation Programme?
A foundation programme will enable you to progress to your chosen undergraduate course at London South Bank University if you’re an international student and don’t meet our requirements for direct entry.
You’ll learn essential English language skills and develop your subject knowledge as you prepare for academic life in the UK.
OnCampus LSB offers Undergraduate Foundation and International Year One programmes for international students to progress to London South Bank University.
