BA (Hons) Business Management (Finance Pathway) (with Placement Year)

London South Bank University

One of the best aspects of my university is the library, both in terms of study space and available resources. However, the biggest drawback is the slow response time from lecturers.

The social aspect is great it’s easy to meet new people and the location allows you to go around and visit places even during if you have gaps between your timetable in a day. It’s also really great school work wise and all the staff are very helpful. The lecturers are all very enthusiastic about what they teach and are always willing to help you. It is the opposite of what we’re told before we start uni that we have to study all on our own. At LSBU they make sure that we understand the work and are always there to guide us they provide support in all aspects of uni life from the school work to support with your mental health, any learning difficulties, issues such as harassment etc. and even help with finding a job which they continue to do even after you graduate. They’re also really helpful in finding opportunities such as networking events, internships etc. The timetabling is also good and the lecturers are really understanding if you go to them with concerns about your timetable. You will always finish before 5, personally with my course I only have had uni 2-3 days this year but they also have optional online classes which allow you to talk with your lecturer or seminar leader about any questions you have, which is one of the many ways the staff are ready to help. I do love the Southwark campus as the more recently built buildings such as the LSBU hub, Keyworth centre and K2 are all very modern and nice to be in but I do wish to see some of the buildings be improved as some of them do not look or feel as nice and inviting as the others. The architecture of the buildings from the outside of the buildings are nice apart from buildings like the faraday wing and student centre but the interior does feel in the need of some refurbishment. However, I do like how a lot of the buildings are connected so during the winter there is no need for you to go outside to get to another building but this is only true for the older buildings. I would like to see the buildings remain connected from within. The food options within the university aren’t amazing and I believe there should be more actual food shops within the school as the options that are provided now aren’t that great and the food is not great. Although because of where the university is we have access to so many options for food, and this gave an opportunity for me and my friends to bond outside of university.

Uni is often the first time people experience full independence, learning to manage their time, finances, and responsibilities.

This is the best university in the London because this university prepares your brain and cognitive resources for the task at hand to the best of your abilities.

LSBU is a fantastic university! I love the diverse community, central London location, and industry connections. The supportive staff and modern facilities make it an ideal place to study and grow. I'm proud to be a part of the LSBU community!
