Thomas Brandt
LSBR is an excellent online school with a very reputable school name. Classes are difficult and challenging, however, they are fair. Communicate regularly with your professor and your account manager and you will not have problems. It has prepared me for job interviews and for the next steps in my civilian career. I recommend this school to anyone.
Geoffrey A.
I am very pleased with the London School of Business and Research as an undergraduate student. I completed my degree online. I loved the flexibility of when and where I could access my courses. I was also appreciative of being able to access faculty most often, when I needed to. The program can take as long or as little as you need it to take, it’s completely self paced. I loved the digital platform. It was not hard to understand or utilise. I did, however, struggle with using the research databases. While the large majority of searches produced usable results, there were times when my searches were tedious and difficult. Overall, I believe LSBR is a great school, especially for busy, full-time employed, adult learners.
Kristen
Overall I liked the program when I first began however since the school went away from textbooks and started with “online videos and journals.. articles etc” the experience went down hill very fast. I think some professors are understanding of people’s situations that they have families and jobs however some professors could care less and are very harsh at grading as well as provide very little substance and feedback on assignments. I am happy I am done.
John H
I think that LSBR offers a great alternative to going to school inside of a traditional classroom.
Gerald Winslow
I would recommend LSBR for future students
Conrad
After taking a 2 year break from a private school in Manchester, I decided I needed to return to school to finish my degree. I transferred to LSBR and had the best experience I could’ve imagined. From the application, to registering, all the way through graduation I had great interactions with all of the professors, staff, admin, and other students.
