The minute I stepped foot into LSBU I felt like I was at home.
They welcomed me, this was where I belonged.
My name is Nawazish Chowdhury and I'm from Bangladesh. I've transferred over to London South Bank University and I'm studying law.
Hi I'm Daizi. I'm from Enshi City, Hubei Province in China and now I'm an MA Journalism student
here.
My name is Rodrigo and I'm from Sao Paulo in Brazil. I've chosen to come to LSBU as
it has a very good reputation for engineering.
International students make a significant contribution to the ethos and atmosphere at
LSBU. They play a key part in the university and help create the culture and environment
of diversity that we crave and seek.
LSBU is very diverse, it's something that I really embrace, I really like. It gives
me a wider view of different cultures. It gives me a higher respect for other cultures
and I think it broadens your mind more. It makes you richer as a person.
It gives me a more broaden perspective of people in general. Understanding where they've
come from and how they've got here and I think that's one of the best things I've learned while I've been here.
It gives you good hands on experience to work with people from diverse cultures.
Given the importance we associate with those students we provide a range of bursaries and
financial support.
The International Office provides a range of advice and support for all our international students.
The international student advice team at London South Bank University is here to support international
students from the point of offer, all the way to the very end of the course at graduation.
The one thing that I really loved about coming into LSBU is how easily I transitioned. I
think it was the ease of my transition into LSBU from Bangladesh that really allowed me
to feel at home; that I wasn't going to miss anything.
LSBU offers the students a great opportunity for work placements.
We've developed a very strong applied focus in terms of everything that we do.
LSBU has a lot of connections with the legal world. They hosted an Open Day, I met a barrister
at that Open Day and he offered me work as part of my module. Connections like that allowed
me to establish myself in the legal world.
The journalism course has offered me some job opportunities, now I have an internship
at Chinese Xinhua News Agency.
Guest speakers from industry come to the university to give us lecturers on how we can apply what
we've learned in the University, in industry. How we can start our careers in the industry
as young graduates. It increases your employability.
Given the challenges students find when they're moving to a different country, we guarantee
all our eligible first years access to accommodation here at LSBU, to help with that transition.
My name is Brie Merritt, I'm from Greenville, South Carolina (USA). I came here and I didn't
know anyone. The kitchen was a great place to meet new people. The Common Room is also
very good, there's a piano. It's also a great place to meet new people; people from everywhere.
The facilities in London South Bank University are very good, especially up to date journals
that you can get from the library and also up to date text books.
The library has everything, there are librarians and secretaries in there that are willing
to help you; they're waiting for you to ask them to help you.
Coming to London offered me a much better opportunity to work in the robotics and field.engineering
The degrees from the university are highly respected and are acceptable all over the world.
The great thing about LSBU is that we are located in the city centre. I really like
London, I think it's a great place to be, and it accommodates everyone.
I feel like I've grown as a person.
I feel like London is my second home, I can feel very relaxed here.
I love London so much.
