University Overview
Located minutes from the centre of London, LSBU has been preparing
and developing students for their working lives for over 125 years. Here
at LSBU we put our students first and almost 2,000 International
students from over 130 countries have chosen this University.
Studying
an undergraduate degree in Italy and a studentship in the USA, Federica
Ceretti believed she needed more and wanted to specialise in marketing.
Moving to the UK, she chose LSBU, due to the reputation of our
Marketing department and the high rates of employment among our
postgraduates.
