How can I submit an application?

Prospective students may utilise representatives to support their application. See the British Council’s ‘Student Guide to Choosing an Education Agent’ (PDF File 189 KB) for advice and guidance about how to select a representative

If you are an overseas student (and a national of a country outside the EU) or an EU national that does not have settled status, you can complete the LSBU Online Application Form.

What happens next?

Once you have submitted your online application you will receive an email confirming that it has been successfully received and that your application is being checked by our International Admissions Team.

Your application will be reviewed by an International Admissions Officer and you will then receive an email stating your ID number to be used for any questions you may have about the status of your application.

Receiving a decision

The International Admissions Team will contact you once a decision has been made or if further information is required.
