We believe that a Student-centred approach is key
to delivering a high quality education. Our broad
and flexible course programme allows you to match
the training we provide to your needs.
A welcoming and enjoyable environment is also important
for learning, and at the London Business College teaching
is delivered in small classes, fostering understanding
and personal relationships.
Our aim is to make your education as fulfilling for
you as it will be for your career.

We treat every Student and prospective Student with
respect and welcome candidates from all social, ethnic
and religious backgrounds, irrespective of age, gender
or nationality.
Each application is given careful consideration and
selection is based essentially on merit.
The selection process is handled either directly
by the College or by an approved international centre.
We undertake to process applications as efficiently
as possible, and candidates will normally receive
notification of a conditional offer within a matter
of days.

The London Business College welcomes all mature Students.
The minimum entry age is 21 and for mature Students,
instead of submitting proof of traditional academic
qualifications, we ask for additional documents in
the form of letters of recommendation and evidence
of successful work experience. An interview may also
be requested.

Our College is truly international. The warm welcome

the reputation of the London Business College around
the world. In turn, such exceptional Students help
to enrich the learning environment at the London Business
College.

one of the following or equivalent standards:
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)

Our courses are recognised by the Home Office (the
UK’s immigration authority) for visa purposes.
Students are strongly advised to start the visa application
process early to ensure it is completed before the
course commences.
When applying for a Student Visa, you will need to
produce the following documents:
A letter of acceptance from the College
Confirmation of the course for which you have been
accepted (enrolment letter*)
Original or copies of academic qualifications and
records of study
Valid passport or travel document
Details of how you will pay college fees and support
yourself financially
After arrival in the UK, you must notify the College’s
Administration department of your address here within
seven days.
* The College will only issue an enrolment letter
upon receipt of full payment for the course or an
agreed deposit. In the event that a Student is refused
a visa to enter the UK, the London Business College will refund course
fees or deposit, after deducting a small charge for
administration.

It is important that you remember to extend your
visa before it expires. The College will arrange this
provided the Student has followed the course on which
he/she is registered.

The British climate is cooler than that of Asia,
Africa, the Americas or the Caribbean.In winter, temperatures
can often fall below freezing, and Students from overseas
should come equipped with clothes suitable for a variable
weather climate that can also be wet and windy.

Many Students, both British and foreign, take up
paid employment during vacation periods or work part-time
during the academic year.

Our College Students should arrange accommodation
in advance of their arrival in London. You are strongly
advised to book this for a minimum period of one week
to allow you to visit the College, get to know the
area and consider where you will live for the duration
of the course. (See Location.)
Our college welfare staff will assist you in finding
accommodation. There is a variety of rental accommodation
to consider, including hostels, lodgings, bed-sits,
flats or house-shares. Sharing a rented property with
friends is a popular option that can help reduce costs.

The London Business College is easily accessible
and Students can arrive in London via air, rail or
road. London City Airport is our nearest airport,
