The Student Centre*
The Student Centre opened to LSBU students in November 2012. One of the
primary aims of the building was to create a space where the Students' Union
and university support services could co-exist and give all students access to a
wide range of non academic facilities that may be of use during their studies.
University support services offer specialised advisory services to help you get the most
from your time at University. If you need assistance with something, want to get more
involved with university life, or just need someone to talk to, then student services can help.
Please arrive at the Student Centre for registration. For those who have
pre-registered, please bring with you your confirmation email.

Employability
The Employability Service exists solely to help students get the job
they want when they finish their course.
We work with employers to make sure we have vacancies in all
industries and at all levels so we’re confident that we will be able
to help students, whatever their interest. To make sure students
are ready for their post-university careers, we also help find work
placements, get a mentor, take part in volunteering, polish up
interview skills and show them how to use social and professional
networks to help in their job search. More and more, employers value
the things students do at university alongside the degree, as well as
the qualification itself, and we are determined to make sure students
have plenty to put on their CV.
