Hey there, London South Bank University (LSBU) is not “bad.” In fact, it is widely recognised for strong graduate outcomes, industry-focused teaching, and a long-standing commitment to widening participation and student success. LSBU is currently ranked 1st among all London Modern universities for graduate salaries, according to the UK government’s LEO 2025 data. This means LSBU graduates earn the highest average salaries one, three and five years after completing their studies. The university is also ranked 6th in the world for reducing inequalities in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2025, reflecting LSBU’s dedication to supporting diverse and underrepresented students. In national rankings, LSBU is positioned as one of the leading modern universities in London in the Guardian University Guide 2025.

LSBU is a technical, career-driven university that prioritises practical, applied learning. Students engage with live briefs, simulation exercises and real industry challenges, ensuring they develop professional skills long before graduation. The university recognises that traditional exams do not suit all learners and therefore incorporates a wide range of practical assessments designed to test knowledge and skills in realistic scenarios. This teaching approach, together with the support offered by academic teams, has contributed to an improvement in LSBU’s National Student Survey results for three consecutive years. LSBU also holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework, with particular praise for the quality of teaching and the way students are supported to develop skills that meet societal and industry needs.

Accessibility and inclusion are central to LSBU’s mission. The university provides strong academic, wellbeing and disability support, as well as personalised development plans tailored to each student. LSBU is proud to be recognised as a Top 100 employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion (Stonewall 2024) and continues to invest heavily in support funds, bursaries and services for students who may face financial or personal barriers to education. The diverse and welcoming community is strengthened by over 85 clubs and societies, more than 23,000 students, and a long 120-year history in South London.

Students also benefit from LSBU’s excellent central London location in Elephant and Castle, offering direct access to major employers, innovative businesses, and key transport links. The university works collaboratively with industry partners to ensure courses reflect real-world needs and to provide placement and work experience opportunities. Significant investment over £65 million in recent years has been made to enhance the Southwark campus, which now includes specialist labs, studios, and extensive study spaces.
