Student 1: I originally choose LSBU because of location. It’s a five-ten minute walk to the eye and
all the cafes and everything that’s there. I came along to the next open
day, and spoke a couple of course directors and they had like really high energy, they
were so enthusiastic about the course I knew it was for me, so I’m so glad I made a really
good choice. Student 2: So we were doing our group coursework
today and it was really great because there’s people from all over the world in our class
and everyone brings a really different approach to what we are doing, I hope that makes it
a bit more interesting, what we come out with in the end.
Student 3: The teachers here at London South bank University have been really great, they
come from diverse professional backgrounds and they know what they’re really teaching.
So when you go to a lecture you don’t really get bored because the way they teach you is
very entertaining, and sometimes they are quite strict but they really push you.
Student 2: I was having some trouble with my communications course work and I decided
to email my lecturer Greg, he said I could come in and see him anytime today from four.
I think it’s really great because they’re usually available when I need them.
Student 4: After a long day at uni I like to come to the gym, it’s relaxing; it helps
me unwind after a long day. After that I’d probably go down to the canteen. The canteen
gets some good food, the food’s always different so it’s always good and it’s pretty healthy.
Student 1: I’ve got such a diverse group of friends here; not only have I made these
lifelong relationships, for my career I’ve got this like, worldwide network of contacts.
Student 3: I went to the employability centre. They’ve got so many services, and the way
they help with your CV, it’s amazing! A few months back I applied for the RBS business
club and I recently got selected for that. It was a really good opportunity because when
I graduate it will look really good on my CV.
Student 5: I done an internship at a TV channel, I had a great time there it was fun; I learnt
so many new things that I could just take my theory of practices into actions. They
supported me all throughout the three months that I was there, it was a really great time, I had fun.
Student: How did your experience at London South Bank
benefit your career? Francis: I think the great thing about the
Business studies degree course at London South Bank is that it gives you skills that are
portable that you can use throughout life, so I’ve been lucky enough to be able to
work across lots of different sectors and go to where the work is really interesting for me.
Students: What did you study when you were
here and how did it help you get where you are now?
Mike: I studied a degree in business studies and it was the first stage towards an accountancy
degree and I have to say that without this degree I wouldn’t have the career I’ve
got at the moment. Students: Why do you think a student should
come to London South Bank University? Mike: Well one of the things I took away from
being at London South Bank University was just how great the lecturers are. We often
get asked who was a great influence on your life and for me some of the lecturers got
me through the degree and I still remember them to this day, and I can still remember
the things that they said. Apart from that there are some great facilities here and I
remember all the social activities as well – it’s a great mix of academic and social.
