Online enrolment (for new students) opens in early-August 2023. If you've accepted an offer to study at LSBU, you’ll receive an email from enrol@lsbu.ac.uk in August or early September, containing all the information you need to enrol, as well as a log-in link for online enrolment. This will be sent to the email address on your record. Please note that the enrolment invitation emails are sent out in batches, so not everyone will receive them at the same time. If you have any questions about the process, please see our enrolment FAQs.
