Economics (with Foundation Year)

London South Bank University

The placement of the campus is great with lots of food establishments both on campus and around, making it easier to study for longer at the library. It is also close to both elephant and castle and Southwark underground stations so the commute is simple. Most of the buildings are modern and have a spacious feel, although I would like to add that I was underwhelmed by the business school as it seems slightly outdated compared to the rest of the university facilities. The staff are great and I have had great teaching along with materials so far. I would have preferred lecture theatres for my lectures to encourage me to attend as I enjoyed this experience at the previous university I attended, and so this has given it a more “high school” feel rather than university which is disappointing.

It is great place to study because of it’s location and diversity and it could be improved by supporting international students financially, providing more learning support and there should be more fun events and the lectures and modules should be more engaging and interesting for everyone

LSBU has a really nice new building perfect for a late night study session, with rooms that you can book for group projects or just group studying I thoroughly enjoy the new hub building. The student union doesnt really have alot of events that everyone can go to, they target more societies than the rest of the cohort meaning that the only events that are really going on are ethnic based eg . Bangladeshi night ( which is great for those of that community ) but it makes it hard for students that may not identify with that community to be social. We have a student sports program that is not connected so much with the student union, which has put a dent in the outreach of student union events. Now that student sport (I am sport club captain ) has left our student union, we find that our socials that were accessible to all and not targeted towards a society / community are less advertised and less supported . I think if the student union connects back with student sports the university could thrive to more events with more attendees and have a bigger outreach.

The location is amazing as it in the heart of the city and the lectures are very kind and are eager to help me in places I don't understand.

I am a European student and the university has been great since day one. I am sad that this is my last year but at the same time I am glad of the amazing years spent here. The professors, the facilities and the location are great recommended 100%!
