Information for International students

Applications for January 2021 intake for those students applying from overseas are now closed. We are still accepting applications from international students that are able to apply for a visa within the UK.

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 January 2021 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 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.

You can find information for EU students in our dedicated web page here.

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.
