We're LSBU. We've been putting knowledge to work for more than 100 years. Through our unrivalled connections with business and the professions, through practice oriented teaching, and through our real-life problem solving research, we have a proven track record in equipping people to make a meaningful and significant contribution to business and society.

We're enterprise driven and enterprising, and for those seeking professional career success, we're the brighter choice.

What we teach matches work place needs and expectations; through our work relevant courses, through our expert teaching and through our collaborations and accreditations.

We understand that postgraduates need a more flexible approach to study, so we provide that too.  The majority of our postgraduate students study part-time and we offer a range of study patterns and a number of start dates. So you can choose the most suitable option for you to study around your other commitments.

Our location in the dynamic Elephant & Castle means we are on the doorstep of commerce in the City of London and next to the cultural vibrancy of the Southbank. Our proximity to the world of work and diverse cultural influences shapes our approach to teaching and learning.
