International scholarships
We've committed over £1 million to our international scholarships scheme Get in touchLSBU Future Global Graduate Awards
In recognition of the continued commitment of international students to London South Bank University, we are proud to launch the LSBU Future Global Graduate Awards.
The awards are given in the form of a tuition fee discount to international students on acceptance of their offer and receipt of their deposit by a set deadline. Students may only accept one of the awards.
The Vice-Chancellor’s International Merit Award
The Vice Chancellor’s International Merit Award recognises outstanding academic achievement of students obtaining grades equivalent to AAB and above at UK A-level (approximately 75% or above in other international school leaving certificates) and comprises an award of £2,000 for each academic year.
The Global Success Scholarship
The second award, The Global Success Scholarship, is worth up to £4,000 and is awarded to international students to provide them with a springboard to kickstart their global career at LSBU, meaning the practical career-focused courses provide even greater value.
It’s available to students for their first year of study at LSBU.
