At London South Bank University (LSBU), we've been transforming lives, communities and businesses since 1892. Located in central London, our students are right in the heart of the action.

Our vibrant campuses in Southwark and Croydon are home to specialist facilities, from simulation hospital wards to high-tech performance spaces, along with excellent sports facilities, and convenient and competitive accommodation. We are also just a short walk or tube journey away from some major London landmarks, museums, galleries, and theatres.

LSBU’s courses are designed in collaboration with industry partners, offering plenty of opportunities for work placements and hands-on experience to give your career a head start. Through our Career Smart programme, you'll also gain essential employability skills from day one. We're committed to working in partnership to showcase your skills and develop your entrepreneurial mindset, so you can build the life you aspire to. This is why our graduates consistently earn the highest salaries of all London modern universities (LEO, 2024).

One of the best ways to see if LSBU is right for you is to visit in person. We run regular open days at both our Southwark and Croydon campuses, where you can:

• Chat with current students and staff
• Take part in subject workshops
• Tour our facilities
• Explore the local area

We understand how busy teachers and school staff are and how challenging it can be to arrange school visits. That's why, at LSBU, our team is more than happy to come you.
