London South Bank University - Semester/Academic Year programs

Students at London South Bank University live in Student Residence Halls in a single room. Residence halls are located close to campus.  No meals are included.

Located in the London Borough of Southwark, London South Bank University (LSBU) is one of the oldest universities in central London and has over 25,000 students. The campus is in a great location, only a few stops on the Tube from some of the major sites in London and a 20-minute walk from the West End.

Originally founded in 1892 as a polytechnic university, LBSU has grown significantly over the last 100+ years. It now not only serves the students in the Borough of Southwark and greater London, but also 3,000 international students from over 100 different countries. The university also takes pride in the fact that around 50% of the students are ethnic minorities.

ASA students take classes in 3 of the 4 schools on the LSBU campus; Business and Computing (BCIM); Arts and Human Sciences (AHS) and Engineering, Science and Built Environment (ESBE).

In an effort to make sure that LSBU students have the best facilities possible, the university has recently invested £47 million (about US$77 million) in upgrades on the campus. The results of this investment can be easily seen in both the new and existing buildings.
