MSc International Business Management - Batch of 2024

Offered by London South Bank University

2.7

City is well-connected, great public transportation.

Tips: I probably think students should really do their groundwork to check if the course they want to pursue has good modules and what are they expecting out of their university student life. They must look into the support they require from the University. Partially satisfied with the student life and exposure on-campus.

Likes (Public transportation): It's very easy to commute around university and London as the transportation is very well connected. Transportation is well planned and helps you get to anywhere in London without any hassle thanks to the proper demarcation of transport options available.

Dislikes (Student Life): I would prefer if people integrated more and were on campus more often, having better exposure to the people in multiple events. I feel people need to be more closely connected to help build better connections and interpersonal skills that most people lack.

Best college in Central London.

Tips: It is quite a good college for international students. The atmosphere and environment are very good, so it was easy for me to adjust. Plus, the teachers and staff are very supportive. Overall, I'm satisfied with the quality of teaching and the overall excellence of the university.

Likes (Public transportation): The transport was good as the location of the university was in central London, so all the buses and trams were easily available at all times. Plus, at free times, we could even see the London Bridge and many more places to visit, as the university was located in the center of London, where all the good places to visit were nearby.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fees for international students were much higher than those for students who are English or residents of London. I think the university should keep our fees low because we are travelling from another country and have to look out for our accommodation, rent, and travel expenses on our own.
