Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships at London South Bank University in UK

At LSBU, we
understand how important a postgraduate degree is to career progression and
professional fulfilment. We’re also aware that we don’t want the cost of
further study to deter students and our alumni from a potentially life-changing
opportunity. As a result, we’re
keen to create opportunities that make a
difference to our students.
