How to Find Courses and Admissions Information on the LSBU Website

Updated

London South Bank University's site (lsbu.ac.uk) is organised around a course search plus separate admissions paths for undergraduate, postgraduate and international applicants. To find what you need, start from the course search rather than browsing department pages, then follow the applicant-type link that matches your situation. The site is strongest in Energy, Mathematics and Engineering, so those subject pages tend to be the most developed.

Start with the course search, not the homepage menu

The most reliable route to a specific programme is the course search tool, usually reachable from the main navigation or a prominent "Courses" link. Search by subject keyword or by level (undergraduate/postgraduate) rather than trying to guess which school or faculty owns the programme.

Each course page typically carries:

  • The award and level (BSc, BA, MSc, etc.)
  • Entry requirements, including typical grades and subject prerequisites
  • Duration and study mode (full-time, part-time)
  • Modules or a link to the programme structure
  • Fees and funding information, where published
  • How to apply, or a link to the relevant application route

If a course page looks thin, check whether you have landed on a subject-area landing page rather than the individual programme page.

Match the admissions entry point to your applicant type

LSBU separates admissions guidance by who you are, and the requirements differ. Use the entry point that matches you:

Applicant type Where to look What it covers
Undergraduate Undergraduate study / How to apply UCAS process, typical offers, personal statement guidance
Postgraduate Postgraduate study / How to apply Direct applications, entry requirements, references
International International students section Country-specific entry requirements, English language requirements, visas and immigration

Applying through the wrong path is the most common source of confusion — for example, looking for UCAS deadlines when you are applying directly for a master's, or missing English language requirements because you only read the home-student pages.

Check requirements, deadlines and fees on the right pages

Three pieces of information are usually split across different parts of the site:

  1. Entry requirements — on the individual course page. Check both academic requirements and any subject-specific conditions.
  2. Application deadlines — on the "How to apply" page for your applicant type. Undergraduate deadlines follow the UCAS calendar; postgraduate deadlines are often set by the programme and may be rolling.
  3. Fees and funding — usually on a fees page linked from the course page, with separate rates for home and international students.

If any of these is missing or ambiguous on the page you are reading, treat it as unconfirmed rather than assuming a default.

When the site doesn't answer your question

Two fallbacks work well:

  • Site search — use the search box with the exact course name or subject. This often surfaces the programme page faster than navigating menus.
  • Contact admissions directly — the admissions team or the relevant school office can confirm current entry requirements, deadlines and whether a course is running. Requirements change between cycles, so verify anything time-sensitive before you rely on it.

For a quick orientation: if you already know the subject, go straight to course search; if you are unsure what LSBU offers, browse by subject area first, then narrow to a level.
