Application and Eligibility

Depending on the course you are looking to study, existing and graduated LSBU students may not need to complete a full application and so can apply for postgraduate study via progress@lsbu.ac.uk. Please include LSBU student ID, current/previous undergraduate course and postgraduate course applying for. Please note, some courses, such as the PGCE, will still require you to complete an application form as normal.
