ZONES to play, learn and study

ZONES is our learning environment transformation programme and one of the biggest and most exciting projects in LSBU's history. We’ve invested over £65million on our London campus over the past few years to create dedicated zones to support every aspect of student life.

Student Life Centre

The Student Life Centre (SLC) is space for socialising, key student services and employability support.

Get together with friends and grab lunch in Grads Café, which serves hot food all day, or have a drink in The Venue Bar. The SLC is also home to our Students' Union and the 85+ student-run clubs and societies on campus.

Our dedicated and experienced Careers Service helps you find work placements and jobs with top blue chip companies and valued public and voluntary organisations. Their professional vacancy handling service for LSBU graduates and students helps them find suitable full-time and part-time work, work experience, placements, temporary and vocational work.

Student Enterprise is also on hand to help with employability, and our Students' Union runs an Entrepreneurship Society.
