Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to the questions students and parents ask us most. Can’t find yours? We’re one message away.
Nothing. Our consultancy is completely free for students and families — from the first consultation to graduation day. We are compensated by the university, never by you.
Both intakes are open at LSBU for most programmes. The right one depends on your document readiness and English level; we tell you honestly in your first consultation.
Typically: high school diploma or university transcripts, a passport copy, an English test result (or our assessment), and a personal statement — which we help you write.
From first consultation to offer letter, usually 2–6 weeks depending on the programme and season. Visa preparation adds another 3–4 weeks after you accept.
Often yes — the Foundation year exists exactly for this. We assess your profile honestly and tell you which path is realistic before you commit to anything.
The CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) is the official document LSBU issues after you accept your offer and pay your deposit. You need it to apply for your Student Visa — we request and verify it for you.
You must show tuition fees for year one plus living costs (around £1,300 per month for London, up to 9 months). The funds must sit in the account for 28 consecutive days — we guide you through the exact format.
We prepare and check every document with you, book your biometrics appointment and review your file before submission. The application is yours, but you are never alone in it.
After completing your degree, you can stay and work in the UK for two years (three for PhD) without sponsorship. It is one of the strongest reasons students choose the UK.
Indicatively: Foundation £12,000–14,000, Undergraduate £15,000–17,000 per year, Postgraduate £16,000–18,500 for the full programme. We confirm the exact fee for your programme before you apply.
Most of our students receive a reduction: merit scholarships up to £2,000, early payment discounts up to £1,000, and the Vero Partner Bursary exclusive to our students. We check and apply for every one you qualify for.
Yes — LSBU offers instalment plans that spread tuition across the academic year. We set this up with you before enrolment.
Realistically £1,100–1,500 per month including accommodation, transport and food, depending on your housing choice. We build an honest budget with your family before you commit.
Yes — student halls or private housing, we help you choose, book and confirm a safe place before you fly. We never let a student land without a confirmed address.
Student Visa holders can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays. Many of our students work part-time in London.
We meet you at the airport, help with enrolment, banking, GP registration and your BRP collection — your first week is planned before you board the plane.
Until graduation day. Academic questions, housing changes, family emergencies — the same team stays one call away for your entire degree.
