London South Bank University focuses on personalised learning and employability skills, as well as helping you build your career.
The best aspects are that we have guest lectures from people working in the industry, course hours are good and lectures are very productive and very helpful.

There are many places to sit and chat/ relax
Staff don’t tell you much about what you should be doing outside of studies like placements etc.
Thank you for your feedback
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.
My course is taught through a mix of both online and in-person which personally I think is great as this provides a lot of flexibility. The course I am studying now allows me to email my lectures and get a response quite quickly. However the placement for this course did not go as expected as we were given our placement a week before going which meant that we couldn’t prepare adequately as we thought placements were sorted out back in September as we were due to go out in February. Some placements where almost more than 2 hours away without traffic which was traumatic to go to. Although my placement worked out for me as the school was fantastic but the journey time was not. Hoping next year will be better or that I can find my own placement.
The uni area in my opinion is extremely diverse and I do think it’s a very social uni with many societies and clubs. However the cost of living is so high but thanks to public transport it’s easier to live further away and travel. There are many areas to explore and travel to and is near London Bridge and other great landmarks through public transport. However not so sure about graduate emolument as I have not finished my degree.
Thank you for your feedback
It’s a lovely university that has a lot to offer. I enjoy being a part of LSBU. The only think I would improve is communication.
Course is very good. I believe content is appropriate for the modules.
Thank you for your feedback
The university provided valuable insights into the graduate market and availability of jobs. However the staff are not very supportive in terms of feedback and improvement in academics. The university also lacks social activities.
The course is detailed but deadlines to submit courseworks are short and little feedback is given over exam preparation.
It is located in the centre of London and is therefore easy to commute to and from the university.
Thank you for your feedback
The best thing about my uni is the support that students get for their personal and private life. The worst thing about my uni is that some of the lecture halls look old and dull .
The best thing about my course is the range of different topics that are covered . The worst thing about my course is that there aren’t many placement opportunities.
My university is a bus ride away from the London Bridge and London eye . It is also quite close to Borough Market so there are a lot of amazing places around my university
Thank you for your feedback
The fact that there is less support, motivates you to work more yourself.
Very good facilities and excellent placement opportunities, although location is mostly depending on luck.
Thank you for your feedback
LSBU had great campus life but it is advertised much more to non students than actually students of LSBU. I really like Perry library and would like more individuals study spaces that aren’t within the main library space. I know staff need to be respected more over reinforcing rules over disposing of rubbish on campus.
I struggle so much over the past two years and have failed. I’ve struggled to find myself within the engineering community. I’ve enjoyed the online & blending learning but I’ve experienced a death during the pandemic and hardly received any type of support. From this experience I’ve learnt that the networking I had done wasn’t beneficial enough to help support my extenuating circumstances and now I know how to help myself much more. Course aren’t long enough to learn this material, use all of your contact with lecturers and the engineering team in general.
Thank you for your feedback
People are lovely. Lively campus life very, enjoyable with and without friends. You can also make a lot of new friends as well.
Your tutor will leave you alone as long as you need you just need to reach out to them. You need to get work placement by yourself.
Thank you for your feedback
I started uni during the peak of Covid so it was pretty much a bleak experience. But the university student support is great and I had someone to talk to when extremely lonely
I enjoy my course and I have mostly excellent lecturers. However, online learning has made me like it a little bit less
It’s proximity to Central London and the easy access to public transport makes it an ideal location. However living in student halls is not so comfortable as it gets quite noisy due to the vehicles passing.
I like the location the most and the least. We’ve got easy access to anywhere but it’s also quite noisy. Also the facilities are quite old and in dire need of an upgrade
