Online events
Would your students benefit from a workshop or taster lecture, but can’t make it into our campus? Or perhaps you’d like your students to gain an insight into an innovative London-based university, but you’re situated a little too far away for a visit? Our selection of online events could be the solution. At LSBU, we know that trips to universities can be tough to fit into the curriculum, and visits from outreach teams can be tricky to schedule. That’s why we’re happy to deliver many of our activities online, allowing your students to experience university wherever they are!
