Global opportunities

In the current world, adaptability and mobility are some of the most valuable skills. Understanding and respecting other cultures is another. You can gain all these skills and have a solid proof to boost your employability by going on an exchange!

At LSBU, we offer you multiple opportunities. To find out more about our programmes, see below.

• Erasmus+
• International exchange

If you are currently studying at LSBU, you can also visit our Erasmus+ and International Exchange pages on MyLSBU to find out more.

Erasmus+ Study

The Erasmus+ programme allows you to study for a year or a semester in one of our partner institutions within Europe. Additionally, to help you fund your exchange, you can receive a grant of up to €540 per month.

We are currently partnered with many institutions all over Europe. You can view the full list on our partner institutions page.

It was fantastic to meet people from all around the world who were doing the same thing as me. I can honestly say that I had a brilliant time and have definitely gained new skills and developed personally.

Hochschule University of Applied Sciences was something great and truly different from my experience in London. I could never have imagined or predicted the impact that my time studying abroad would have upon my life.

You can choose your own placement in any of the European countries, however it must be relevant to your studies and last a minimum of 2 months. There is no limit on when it needs to end however, you can receive the grant for up to 12 months only.

We know that the number of options this gives you can be overwhelming, but don’t worry, our dedicated Mobility team will support you through the process!

International exchange

At LSBU Erasmus + will not be your only option. We have partners in both North America and Europe that offer exciting programmes in various subjects.

Currently you can go on exchange for a semester to:

• Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada (for Arts and Creative Industries students only)
• Florida Atlantic University, Florida, USA
• Suffolk University, Boston, USA

The modules you take while abroad will contribute towards your LSBU degree, which means that completing an exchange doesn’t have to impact the length of your LSBU course.

Full academic year exchange to:

• Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Lucerne, Switzerland (for Engineering students only)

Your year abroad at Lucerne will take place during your third year and you will return to complete your studies at LSBU in your final year. What’s more, you will also receive a qualification at the end of your exchange.

As members of BUTEX, we can also offer our students an option to apply for scholarship worth £500 that can contribute towards the overall cost of an exchange.

Please note: All partnerships are subject to change. You can view our International Exchange partners on our partner institutions page.
