Mohammad Khallouf
I left my studies quite early. I used to be really scared about completing my A-level. But because of encouragement and continuous support from my LSBR success manager Mr.Paul Hess, I was able to complete my Diploma and now I have taken progression to the 1st year of the University of the West of Scotland, all thanks to LSBR and its student friendly environment. I really don’t have words to say how much I am grateful to you.

Workload manageable.

My Student success manager Mr. Hess could not arrange for my Visa to attend the industry networking event at London. Thought it was not his fault, but nonetheless, I missed an opportunity.
