Information for International students

The International Admissions Team is welcoming and processing applications as usual. We encourage all potential students to submit an application.

In light of COVID-19, we are currently reviewing the application deadlines. We will post the information in the How To Apply section shortly.  We will also send an email to all our prospective students and offer holders.

We are aware that many applicants are facing difficulties in meeting their offer conditions due to the closure of test centres for IELTS, TOEFL and many other English language exams as a result of COVID-19.

Because of this, LSBU will be accepting a number of other English tests for entry to undergraduate and postgraduate courses for September 2020 entry. Find out more.

We will be sympathetic to you and your individual circumstances, but our main priority is that we are making offers to applicants that we are satisfied will be able to succeed on their studies.

Subject to course availability, we will endeavour to defer your place to January 2021. If your course is not available, we would then defer your place to September 2021.

We'll continue to give equal consideration to all applications regardless of where you are from, or where you live. We are currently reviewing the impact Covid-19 is having on assessments, exams and final grades on a country by country basis and will update applicants as and when we can.

The pre-CAs process will be running as usual. If you have accepted your offer, you should proceed to make the deposit payments as indicated in your offer letter.

At present, the Home Office has not issued any statements in regards to this situation. We are monitoring the situation closely and we will contact all our applicants as soon as we get an update from the UKVI.

Yes, funding from Student Finance England is available for the academic year 2020/21, including the January 2021 intake

We will be processing refund requests in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in your offer letter. Due to the current exceptional circumstances, we are reviewing our deposit refund terms and conditions to be clearer and more specific. We will notify all the offer holders when the terms and conditions are updated.
