I attended this school and I am very appreciative of my education. My previous credits transferred in nicely. And my 120 credits from my level 5 diploma got transferred to University of Northampton for my BSc Degree. Don’t know how to thank you LSBR for the online platform that you offer for working professionals like me. Thank you so so much 🙂

Putting into practice what you are learning is what stays with you for a life time. I have very fond memories of my interaction during one of the networking sessions where I have made new friends from the industry. All thanks to LSBR for their support and help.

I enjoyed my time at LSBR a great deal. I had good instructors; but as with any school, some will be more engaging than others. I would definitely recommend this school to any professional who is looking for a good course while juggling between personal and professional career.

London School of business and research is a great institution that encourages its students to make a positive impact in society. My diploma in accounting and business serves me well as a retiree and highlights the importance of active citizenship in a rapidly changing world.
Ty Arrey Eno-Tambe
This is not an easy program. I spent at least 6 hours every week on reading and assignments. Don’t expect this to be a diploma mill.
Nikola
All thank to London School of Business and Research that now I am working as an Accounts Intern with JSW Finance in Belgrade. I am now enrolled in BSc Degree with LSBR and look forward to graduating next year.
Lazar
A perfect course for me. I could easily complete the course modules during my transit time from home to office and back. I devoted 2 hours every Saturday for assignments. All along its been a great journey for me. Thank you LSBR and I am proud to be an alumni of London School of Business and Research. ?
Spencer L. Felder
LSBR had everything I needed while giving me the flexibility to work full time and raise a family. There was help when I needed it and I felt supported by all the instructors and staff. Without their encouragement and family feeling my bachelors would not be possible.
