Applied teaching for the real world We take pride in the strength of our teaching; accredited, applied and professional, we’re here to support you and provide you with the best possible learning experience. Our teaching is applied, so we set it against real-world challenges. You’ll apply your new-found knowledge away from the lecture theatre and impress potential employers with your practical experience. The majority of our courses are accredited by professional bodies, boosting you even further in prospective employers’ eyes.

You’ll impress potential employers with your practical experience We have the highest possible rating for the quality of our education from the most recent independent Quality Assurance Agency report. But that doesn’t mean we’re resting on our laurels; we are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve our teaching. We’re not short on professional expertise either. You’ll be taught by professionals and specialists who practise, or have practised, in their chosen fields, and who bring their expertise into the classroom. Our staff maintain good connections with employers, including professional bodies and public and private-sector companies. Our strong links with business mean our programmes are up to date with industry needs, offering you insight into the world of work you’ll enter when you leave. Many courses feature work placements, and we also regularly invite outside experts to speak with you. Our approach is student first, student led. We put you first, with the mix of skills and experience needed for your future career always at the forefront of our teaching. Put simply, our courses will give you the knowledge, opportunities, expertise and development you need to succeed after university.

Diverse and inspiring research At LSBU, we apply our research to current global issues, with direct outcomes for you and the programmes you study. Our Schools are involved in a wide range of research projects, many involving collaborations with business or public bodies, tackling some of today’s most testing issues. We recognise that your knowledge needs to be cutting edge, so you can hit the ground running when you start your career. That’s why we share our research in the classroom as case studies, because we think a collaborative, motivated atmosphere is a key factor in our students’ success. We’ll bring in experts as guest speakers, and lecturers use their research to help guide you in your final year projects, lending their expert knowledge to your success. To keep our research practically focused, we offer companies and organisations all kinds of ways to access our expertise. This has been instrumental in developing global brands and products such as FitFlop, which our pioneering research in foot and ankle biomechanics helped develop, as well as improving public services, such as our research into cooling the London Underground which has been incorporated into a £500 million upgrade of the tube system. Our research is wide-ranging – subject areas include everything from nursing, psychology and sports science to construction, robotics and business processes, but underlying all of it is the goal of creating new knowledge for practical purposes.

London’s enterprising university Enterprise is not just about starting a business; it’s about recognising opportunities and seizing them. Developing enterprise skills is essential for your future, whether you become an entrepreneur or a freelancer, work for someone else. At LSBU, enterprise is a part of everything we do and we offer plenty of opportunities, many built into our courses through practical modules, internship and placement opportunities, and workshops and guest lectures. Supporting your initiatives Our Student Entrepreneurship Support Service is a one-stop shop for advice about starting up a business and keeping it going – available to you before and after graduating. We also organise enterprise internships, giving you the chance to get involved in the workings of a small start-up. If you have an idea you want to test, contact our Spark scheme. You could receive £500 of funding, office space, mentoring, guidance and the chance to bid for further funding.

Investment in enterprise We’ve recently invested £10 million in the new Clarence Centre, home to the University’s Research, Enterprise and Innovation team, student entrepreneurs, businesses and social enterprises and services for the local community. The Centre offers highquality fully serviced offices for fledgling businesses and social enterprises, event facilities and retail space. It also includes a Business Solutions Centre and a Legal Advice Clinic, staffed by students, which both serve the local community. The Business Solutions Centre and the Legal Advice Clinic provide the opportunity to observe and participate in the delivery of advice to local businesses and individuals.

Last year we secured £1.2 million of funding for start-ups and SMEs (including £140,000 for student start-ups and businesses)

Welcome

London has more international visitors than any other city in the world: 15.3 million per year. More languages are spoken in London than in any other city in the world (270).

Living in a global capital Being a student in London – a leading global city famed for its history, culture, business and leisure opportunities – is a special experience. LSBU is at its heart, ideally placed for everything the city has to offer. London’s a centre for law, fashion, finance, the arts and technology. It’s a fascinating mix of tradition and modernity – apparent in both its buildings and its customs. The capital thrives on its multi-ethnic, multilingual culture. More than 300 languages are spoken here every day and you’ll spot a wide variety of people, cultures and eating options when you walk through its streets. LSBU’s Southwark campus is situated in Elephant and Castle, which is ideally placed to discover all London has to offer. Being in the middle of things means we’re accessible to all the capital’s main sights, attractions and incredible nightlife. As a small sample, the Southbank Centre, Tate Modern, Ministry of Sound and the London Eye are close by. The area is vibrant and exciting with plenty of shops, bars and cafés on the doorstep. Excellent transport links mean that most of the city’s other galleries, theatres and night spots are minutes away. We’re at the hub of the South-Central London bus network, two minutes from the London Underground station and close to an overground station served by Thameslink and Southeastern trains. We’re within walking distance from mainline stations London Waterloo and London Bridge too.

The city’s galleries, theatres and night spots are minutes away

Staff profile: Julie Gawrylowicz | Lecturer in Psychology Julie is the module co-ordinator of Psychological Approaches and chair of the departmental ethics committee for undergraduate research projects. Having developed her career through academia, Julie uses her experience to support students who want to pursue an academic career and embeds her research within her teaching. “I am interested in cognitive and social psychology; in particular, eye witness memory and how the police should best interview witnesses and victims. At the moment I am doing some really interesting research in our bar lab, looking at how alcohol impacts eye witness memory.” As the employability officer for the division of Psychology, Julie recognises the importance of preparing students for employment after they leave the University. “We equip our students with transferable skills which will boost their employability. We provide them with organisational, communication, time management and other related skills through our employability sessions. Once students finish at LSBU they’ll have gained the right skills to give them a great chance of success in the job market. We put a lot of effort into making our students more employable, in addition to all the academic skills they gain.”

Alumni profile: Louis Annan | BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science, freelance sports coach Louis was attracted to the Sport and Exercise Science course when he learnt about the opportunity to apply for a sports scholarship at LSBU. “I took a gap year to play basketball in America which made me realise that university was the right choice for me. When I came back, it all fell into place when an old coach of mine who was working at LSBU recommended me for a scholarship. I researched the Sport and Exercise course and it seemed like the perfect fit – it was a no-brainer.” Managing his academic work, sport and working as a coach throughout his time at LSBU enabled Louis to develop the skills to pursue a freelance career within his passion for sport. “My course helped me prepare for my career as a freelancer as I learnt how to balance my time and commitments. I have learnt to manage different types of people and age groups with confidence.” Louis’ involvement with the Academy of Sport is what really set apart his university experience and gave him the drive to succeed in the sports industry. “I managed to win sports ambassador of the year twice in a row; this was measured on my overall contribution and proactivity. There is such a great feeling of community at the Academy of Sport.” For more alumni stories, visit www.lsbu.ac.uk/case-studies-alumni

Staff profile: Simon Pittman | Senior Lecturer BA (Hons) Drama and Performance Alongside his work at LSBU Simon is part of Frantic Assembly, most recently as a movement associate for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. “The knowledge and industry practice of the teaching staff on the Drama and Performance course is incredibly current, and we’re all working in very different fields of theatre and performance. We’re always shifting and developing the course content to reflect this because it is a course that combines theory and practice, but very much focuses on the craft of the creative artist and making work.” This year Simon set up a new module on the course called ‘The professional toolkit’ which takes undergraduate students through the process involved in creating performance. “It models the process of conceiving a show and then applying for funding, developing the show artistically and working with a budget. Within this module we run a symposium in which we expose our students to industry contacts and external practitioners including leading theatre directors. “Students gain a really broad set of skills on our course; they come out with a real rigour of thinking. Students leave with a balanced understanding of the subject and how it relates to the world and industry they are going out into.”

Alumni profile: Amelia Hallsworth | BA (Hons) Photography, freelance photographer Amelia’s passion for photography began at A level, but she didn’t feel ready to go out on her own as a professional without some further training so she enrolled on the BA (Hons) Photography course. The course has a strong focus on employability and excellent connections to industry, which allowed her to develop her creative flair. Amelia currently works as a full-time photographer for Foxtons estate agents. This involves photographing various interiors and properties, sketching up the floor plans and writing and creating the online brochures. “You never know what to expect with this job, you can be going to photograph your average house in London or photographing a £10 million pound mansion, so the job keeps me constantly surprised and occupied.” During her time at LSBU Amelia undertook work experience at Oxford House, a community art centre, and Furtherafield Gallery, exploring issues around photography at the same time as developing her practical skills. “What was most valuable for me on the course was the work placement module, as it helped me gain experience in photography as a career and the many different avenues I could potentially explore after university. This module also helped me gain confidence in my photography work as well as a better understanding of what it’s like to do photography work for a company or organisation, not just my own personal projects.” See Amelia’s photography on her blog: www.ameliahallsworth.com For more alumni stories, visit www.lsbu.ac.uk/case-studies-alumni

Staff profile: Dr Safia Barikzai | Course Director, BSc (Hons) Business Information Technology, Enterprise Champion for the School of Engineering Safia has always encouraged her students to gain real-world experience and be enterprising. Through the support of Student Enterprise, she now serves as Enterprise Champion for the School of Engineering. “I have always considered myself enterprising without formally considering myself an ‘enterprise educator’,” says Safia. “Student Enterprise has enabled us as interested teachers to work together. We are always sharing resources and supporting each other. “I feel it is my role to make connections with businesses and get our students to network with employers before they graduate. We need to grow our students’ confidence so they can make the most out of the opportunities available to them. “I consider myself to have three roles: a teacher, a course director and an enterprise educator. I want to embed enterprise within LSBU curricula and get students to engage with the external world.” As an Enterprise Champion, Safia has run a variety of activities including the Employer Engagement series, which gets employers to work with Informatics students. “Entrepreneurs require technology solutions and our IT students need to develop skills in presenting technology solutions, so we incorporated this within our curriculum,” she explains.

Alumni profile: Jamie Fairclough | BSc (Hons) Engineering Product Design graduate, design engineer McLaren Automotive If you were to ask most Engineering Product Design students what their dream job would entail, the odds are that it would involve working for a world-leading brand involved in an exciting, cutting-edge industry. For graduate Jamie Fairclough, that dream has become a reality. “I’m a design engineer at McLaren Automotive,” says Jamie. “I work as part of a team designing bespoke tooling and inventory development for assembling high-performance road vehicles. What I like about it most is that it covers all aspects of the vehicle, from body assembly and paint to engine installation and interior fitting. We get to study the whole vehicle to gain an understanding of how to build it accurately, easily and safely. “While I was on my placement, I learned professional CAD skills for inhouse manufacture, and I now use CAD to develop our ideas at McLaren,” he says. “I’ll model and assemble the design concept and verify its strength and integrity so that we can forward the electronic data to manufacture. Once that’s done, we can move in and start manufacture.” Jamie hopes to become more involved with new projects at McLaren. “It’s an exciting place to be, and I think my degree from LSBU – a university of opportunity – will absolutely help me fulfil that ambition.” For more alumni stories, visit www.lsbu.ac.uk/case-studies-alumni

Staff profile: Armin Luthi | Senior Lecturer, Mental Health Nursing Armin Luthi is a senior lecturer on the BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing course. His key areas of teaching include therapeutic skills for working in mental health. He is an honorary psychotherapist for the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust. Armin uses his extensive professional clinical practice and experience within his teaching to give our students insight into a professional career in mental health nursing. “A lot of my teaching is experiential and based around case study learning. I think students learn a lot more through case studies and they can engage with the narrative. My narratives are up-to-date because I can use material direct from my clinical practice. “If you are a lecturer in a subject like mental health nursing, you need to keep your feet on the ground and keep doing the work; otherwise you are a bit like a driving instructor who doesn’t drive.” As a new member of our staff team, Armin is impressed not only with the development of the division of mental health at London South Bank University, but also the attributes of our students. “This is a dynamic environment to work in with a lot of interest in new ideas and is also a place that clearly encourages people to be creative and to think up new ways of approaching a subject. “LSBU students have a level of maturity I haven’t seen elsewhere. The culture of learning here is that there is an expectation that students are adult learners.”

Alumni profile: Ollie Hutley | BSc (Hons) Children’s Nursing It’s fair to say there was a degree of inevitability about LSBU graduate Ollie Hutley’s choice of career. “My mother and my grandmother were nurses, and we’ve always said that it must run in the blood.” It came as little surprise, then, when Ollie enrolled at LSBU on our BSc (Hons) Children’s Nursing degree. “A friend had just finished her degree at LSBU and recommended it to me. I felt really welcome on the open day, and immediately knew it was the right choice for me.” It’s a decision that has certainly paid off for Ollie, who is now working at Great Ormond Street Hospital – something he believes was made possible by his LSBU degree. “I did my work placements at Great Ormond Street while I was studying. It was a fantastic experience; I was able to gain first-hand experience of many different areas of nursing, including theatres, intensive care and neuroscience – which is the area I actually work in now.” Ollie is excited and enthusiastic about a future that can take him in whichever direction he chooses. “The great thing about nursing is that there are so many opportunities. I could work all over the globe – in schools, in hospitals or in the community.” For more alumni stories, visit www.lsbu.ac.uk/case-studies-alumni

Staff profile: Cherry James | Senior Lecturer in Law LLB Year 2 Director of Studies As the module leader for the first year module ‘Legal skills, legal study, legal system’, Cherry teaches students the basic grounding for a law degree and introduces the practical, transferable and legal skills and theory that is essential for their studies. Before teaching, Cherry worked in the legal professional for several years. “I have experience working in the litigation departments of several large City firms. This informs my teaching within seminars where students have to deal with practical problems and scenarios where they must apply their theoretical knowledge within a practical setting. We try to be really practical at LSBU, to help our students understand how to deal with realistic situations. My litigation experience enables me to teach my students about dealing with clients in various difficult situations in a sensitive manner.” The experience that students at LSBU get from studying in the capital city is something that Cherry strongly encourages. “Studying a law degree in London is amazing; students are able to go to the courts, to Parliament. There is so much here for students to use as background learning to inform themselves about the legal profession, and this is a huge advantage.”

Student profile: Tajae Tyrell | BSc (Hons) Criminology Tajae had an interest TV crime drama from an early age; now she’s looking forward to beginning her own successful career in the justice system. “I’ve just always had an interest in crime,” she explains. “As I got older, that stayed with me, but I found myself increasingly interested in the causes of crime, as well as the policies and procedures in the criminal justice field that are used to combat crime.” Little surprise, then, that Tajae found herself applying for a place on LSBU’s BSc (Hons) Criminology course. Since starting at LSBU, Tajae has found the supportive nature of our academic team to be invaluable in helping her pursue her dream of becoming a criminology lecturer or setting up a social enterprise working with care leavers who have been in the criminal justice system. “The staff here all want their students to succeed, and it shows in everything they do – the open door policy, the regular contact time we have together, and the level of support I have been given every step of the way – even when I have found things tough, they have been there for me to help me through it.” The support that Tajae has received has helped her to develop her skills and her confidence to take on more challenges, particularly when volunteering for Sova, which works with ex-offenders who have mental health problems. “I feel that in my work and through my success at LSBU, I want to show young people that no matter what problems they have had in life, they can achieve their goals if they work hard.” For more alumni stories, visit www.lsbu.ac.uk/case-studies-alumni

Fees and funding Managing your money while you’re studying can be tricky. It’s a vital part of student life, and we’re here to do everything we can to ease your worries. That way, you can concentrate on getting the most out of your time here and shine the spotlight on your studies. Full-time undergraduate study At LSBU, we’ve set our full-time fee for home and EU undergraduates at £9,000. You don’t have to pay for your course upfront. If you’re a home or EU student studying for your first degree, you can apply for a tuition fee loan from Student Finance England. Part-time undergraduate study Home students on part-time courses are also entitled to apply for a tuition fee loan. And as long as it’s your first degree – and you complete at least 25% of the full-time course load in one year – you can apply for a student loan. Please note: if your loan isn’t in place, you will need to pay at least the initial down payment at your face-to-face enrolment session. This will amount to a third of your yearly tuition fees and will allow you to complete your enrolment. For details on individual part-time course fees, use our fee checker at www.lsbu.ac.uk/ug-fees Funding for health courses Following the announcement from the Chancellor in the November 2015 Spending Review, it is proposed that from 2017/18, new students on nursing, midwifery and allied health pre-registration courses (which lead on to qualification with one of the health professional regulators including HCPC and NMC) in England will take out maintenance and tuition fee loans like other students rather than getting an NHS grant. As with other students, if you graduate and earn above a certain amount of money (currently above £21k) you will start repaying the loan. This is usually taken out of your salary each month. The thresholds and amounts do change according to government policy but as an indication, at the moment on a Band 5 salary in the NHS of £21.7k (the usual starting salary for new nurses, midwives or AHPs) you would repay £5.25 per month.

10 facts about undergraduate fees 1. You don’t pay anything upfront if you are a full-time student. If you are a home student studying for your first degree, you can get a tuition fee loan from Student Finance England. 2. Part-time students are eligible for tuition fee loans on exactly the same basis as full-time students (provided it’s your first degree and you are studying at least 25% of a full-time course). However, please note: if your loan is not in place, you will need to pay at least the initial down payment at your face-to-face enrolment session. 3. When you start paying your fees back, it’s at a rate of 9% of what you earn over £21,000. So if you earn £25,000 a year gross before tax, you’d only pay 9% on £4,000. 4. You don’t start paying back your fees for 3.5 years after your course starts – usually the April after you graduate – but only if you’re earning enough. 5. If your income falls below £21,000, your repayments automatically stop. 6. After 30 years, any remaining debt is written off. 7. Your tuition fee is more like a tax than a loan because you repay it through your employer via the tax system, with repayments rising as you earn more. 8. If you’re self-employed, you repay the student loan just like you repay tax – via HMRC’s Self-Assessment scheme. 9. Your student loan won’t go on your credit file and it won’t affect your ability to get a mortgage or another loan. 10. If you study on a pre-registration health and social care course, such as nursing, midwifery or radiography you can apply for a tuition fee loan in the same way as for other undergraduate degrees.

You’ll cover either all or part of your employee’s tuition fees. To do this, you’ll need to complete a tuition fee sponsorship form and provide a written reference.
