London South Bank University

Wonderful university with excellent infrastructure, faculty, classrooms and labs. They gives us a experience like no one can.

I would give this Uni no stars if I could. I was very badly treated at this university and would recommend that everyone stay away from it. I did a BSc in Microbiology/Bioscience and received little to no help at all during my three years. The lecturers always seemed as though they were working against you and that no matter what problem you had you were always in the wrong. There was little to no support from the on campus students union. In my second year the whole class failed 2 modules as the whole exam was on parts of the subjects we had not actually been taught (or told about) and when anyone complained about it we were told 'that we were able to resit the exam but the that time the register to resit was closed and that it was made clear to students' however seeing as only one person resat the modules I would say that It wasn't made clear. We all then had mitigating circumstances on our results and no-one managed to get a decent degree. Like I said when we complained we were all told it was our fault, the lecturers didn't take any of the blame. During my project I received very little help from my project lead who was actually very rude to me (i'm pretty sure it was because i am female), gave me panic attacks and repeatedly told me I was going to fail my project and would have to resit the year. I graduated from this uni in 2013 and because of my time spent here I still suffer from anxiety and struggle massively from a lack of self confidence. Also due to the problems in my second year and my lower class degree I also now find it hard to get a decent job. Also when I recieved my results in third year I was told that I got 0 on an exam because I had failed to turn up, when I did actually sit the exam. Firstly, I had to phone up to find that out, Secondly I had sat the exam and it took the lecturer a week to find the registration list and fins that I was actually corrrect. It then took him 2 weeks to find my exam script and another week to mark it I then received a mark of 6% (after a month of waiting) I was told I needed to resit. I then asked for the exam to be remarked by someone else (It took me ages to get this sorted out) the refused to let someone else remark it but the lecturer had another look at the exam at gave me a passing grade. Again when I complained about this I received no feedback or compensation. It seems as though the problems I've had here are quite common. My advice DON'T GO TO LSBU. If you're going through clearing go somewhere else, even resit your exams but don't go here for the sciences.

Do not go to this university, if you plan on becoming a forensic scientist this is the worst university to go to. There are 4 main lecturers you'll see in the 3 years, 2 are amazing lecturers who help out but the other 2 are the most confusing unhelpful unorganised lecturers I have ever met and the last 2 are the ones you require the most. Do not go to this university the local area isn't great either. Of the 3 years i spent there I feel like all they taught me was how to push a button and interpret the y=mx+c formula. One other positive is the science technicians they are really nice and helpful people. They claim to be very good for forensic science but honestly its really bad, I am very disappointed.

You will get what you put into learning. You will not be spoon fed at LSBU, you will have to work hard and stand out. The reason for the ranking is not because of the quality of the content, it's because they are a second chance. Work hard and you'll get what you need to progress. Everyone who has succeeded at LSBU has gone on to do amazing things, at least from my graduating cohort. In regards to the person saying that you won't get a job from LSBU, that's not true. I'm in a graduate job, in the field I studied and the University supported me in the job search. If you make the most of your education, you will have something to show for it when a potential employer interviews you.
