It’s an important 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.

Working for us, our ambition is to create educational pathways that empower people of all backgrounds and talents to realise their aspirations, add to the knowledge base, and contribute their skills and drive to wider society. To realise our ambition, we need people with energy, courage and imagination, who are enthused by our vision and recognise our values as theirs; people who bring ideas to enrich our approach to learning, research and innovation; collaborative people who love creating and spreading knowledge; brilliant people who seek growth and yearn to make a positive, personal difference.
