Education Studies (Work Based) - BA (Hons)

London South Bank University

The best aspects is the campus and resources available to students at LSBU hub. The worst one would be not able to employed part time students who are currently looking for a job, particularly international students.

The location wise, Uni is precisely located. For eg. The important tourist locations such as London Eye, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Westminster Bridge, St. Paul Cathedral, Millennium Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Big Ben, British Museum, Imperial War Museum, British Library, Bank Of England Museum and so many are nearby to uni. Also, the major tube station such as Waterloo, Elephant and Castle, Southwark, Borough Road are very close to the uni. Overall ambiance is safe and beautiful. The university located exactly at the heart of central London. The only space for improvement is its reach to the students. Many students don't have any idea about many things which are happening as well as available at university.

Initially when studying at London South Bank I was studying midwifery which although I enjoyed I didn’t think it was the course for me. I then switched courses and decided to study education and the transition was extremely easy. When discussing whether to leave or not with my personal tutor they gave me useful advice on how to decide. They gave me resources to use if I was feeling too stressed and guided me to the student centre where I could meet someone to discuss my concerns. In this regard I feel as though the uni provide amazing student support. Moreover, in both the courses they provided significant help with assignments and with referencing and lectures are approachable and offer a lot of help if your willing to ask. However I do feel the uni could support students with bursaries as other unis provide a lot of bursaries for the same course. I also don’t think that that what the uni provide is worth the money and everything else is pretty much average. In some occasions the university does not have good communication.
