About us
It’s an exciting time to join London South Bank University (LSBU) Group. With the launch of our new LSBU Group Strategy, Connecting, we’re shaping the future of tertiary education for a global, technology-driven economy – rooted in London.
Professional and technical education has been central to LSBU Group’s mission since our founding in 1892. Today, as London’s first integrated tertiary education group, we continue to lead the way on learner-centred, skills-focused education.
Comprising London South Bank University, South Bank Colleges and South Bank Academies, connectivity lies at the heart of all we do.
Since 2019, LSBU Group has grown beyond its three founding institutions to form a powerful network of learners, staff, alumni, employers and policymakers – united in our mission: to challenge social and economic inequalities through applied education, insight and partnership.
We are a powerhouse for inclusive education, enterprise and economic growth, connecting potential to opportunity and enabling people to thrive. Our Group network enables us to create learning pathways and connect people and organisations. This ensures learners are supported through the education system to achieve their full potential and can contribute their skills and energies locally and to wider society.
Our new strategy, Connecting, sets out a bold, ambitious vision for LSBU Group and it’s developed in collaboration with colleagues, student groups, partners and stakeholders.
Focused on delivering good jobs for all our learners, we are proud to be employer and skills led, delivering excellent professional and technical teaching which supports future talent and careers to deliver impact for London and beyond.
