Student Life - Learning Online
You might be learning remotely, but you won’t be learning alone. We’re here to guide you every step of the way while you’re studying.
Supporting you the whole way through
Your Course Adviser will be the first person you talk to when you start your journey with us. They can help with questions about our courses, the application process, and funding. They can also direct you to our specialist support services.
Once you enrol, our Student Adviser Team is on hand with any non-academic help you need, from time management tips to making the most of Canvas, our online learning platform.
During your course, your tutors’ subject knowledge will be invaluable. Our Academic Team will be there to support you with your questions about the course content and guide you to successfully complete your qualification.
Building your skills
As one of our students, you’ll have access to academic skills support as you study, with guidance on producing academic writing, evaluating sources, and referencing.
You'll also have access to your core texts with the smart study platform Kortext. The Kortext bookshelf includes all the learning material and content you’ll need - and with your course texts available 24/7 on your device, you can study wherever you are, at any time you like.

A global community
When you start your course, you’ll be working alongside talented students from all corners of the globe.
You can share your experiences and passion for your subject, get to know each other, and support each other over forums and via group work.
"Meeting people from different cultures is the key element of networking. During my online learning journey, I have met many wonderful professional people."
Meet digitally and in person
You’ll have the opportunity to come along to face-to-face workshops and events, held up to twice each year. There’s no requirement to attend, but they can be a great way to meet your tutors and coursemates, and learn more about your field.
And when you’ve completed your course, you will be invited to LSBU to take part in our prestigious graduation ceremony where you will formally be awarded your degree alongside your peers.
Plus, following graduation, you’ll join our expansive alumni association. It includes business support, lifelong access to the library, and more.
