Welcome to London South Bank University Group
We are London's first integrated education group. A powerful network of learners, staff, alumni, employers and policymakers - united in our mission to challenge social and economic inequalities through applied education, insight and partnership.
Professional and technical education has been central to our mission since our founding in 1892. Today, we bring together London South Bank University, South Bank Colleges and South Bank Academies to create something no single institution could achieve alone.
We are embedded in south London. Anchored in one of the world's most dynamic cities. Connected globally. And focused on what matters most: delivering good jobs for all our learners.
Our strategy: Connecting
Connecting is our new Group Strategy - a bold, ambitious vision for London South Bank University Group 2030 and beyond.
Connectivity lies at the heart of all we do. We connect learners to employers. Employers to talent. Communities to opportunity. Research to real-world impact. And we connect with each other - as a Group united by shared values and a common purpose.
We will be a powerhouse for inclusive education, enterprise and economic growth, connecting potential to opportunity and enabling people to thrive.
Through Connecting, we will redefine tertiary education for a global, technology-driven economy - rooted in London.
Our work matters. There is no time to waste.
Turning “What” into “How”
Our strategy focuses on six interdependent themes:
- Pathways - Simplifying and growing integrated learning routes that lead to employment, from entry level through to postgraduate study.
- Partnerships - Strengthening our position as the go-to destination for employers' skills needs, with a single front door for business.
- Student success - Delivering teaching and learning of the highest quality, with learners at the heart of everything we do.
- London - Embracing our capital city as an extraordinary asset, ensuring our learners and partners benefit from its reach and opportunity.
- People and culture - Supporting our community to be the best they can be, leading through clarity, compassion and inclusion.
- Technology - Harnessing innovation to transform what and how we teach, research and deliver.
These themes are underpinned by our EPIIC values: Excellence, Professionalism, Integrity, Inclusivity and Creativity. We live these values in all we do.
