伦敦南岸大学 (London South Bank University) 创建于1892年，已经有100多年的建校历史。该校始为伯勒理工学院，后逐渐发展为南岸大学。最近几年通过不断扩建，南岸大学已经成为伦敦最大的大学之一。该校目前有超过21,500名学生。令该校引以自豪的是其一流的教学以及不断拓展的研究项目。

该校在1998年10月6日全英高校评估中为111名。伦敦南岸大学与中国高校的合作已有十余年的历史，不仅与国内的一些著名重点大学和普通大学建立了合作关系，培养了一千多名中国留学生，而且不断开拓创新，推动中英两国在教育和文化领域的深层次合作。

地理位置

南岸大学位于伦敦市中心、泰晤士河边，主校园在历史名区南沃克。南岸艺术中心、英国议会、伦敦市区以及西区皆近在咫尺。

南岸大学的课程设置颇具灵活性，许多课程具有较强的职业优势，与工业界和其他行业联系紧密。该校的四所学院——提供本科生课程、硕士课程以及研究学位课程——包括商学院、工程建筑环境学院、文科与人文科学学院、医疗与社会保健学院。

教学资源

南岸大学拥有两座图书馆：分别位于主校园和哈福灵内。校内图书馆共有藏书超过300，000册、期刊超过10，000种。该校新建的学习资源中心于1996年投入使用，此学习资源中心有400个工作站，学生可以通过宽带无线网络与外部的数据库、国际互联网或者联合学术网络联网，从中获取信息。

大学概况University Profile

London South Bank (LSBU) hopes to benefit from the £3bn regeneration of the Elephant and Castle area on its doorstep. But the new vice-chancellor, Professor David Phoenix, is not waiting for that to make changes that he hopes will make the university more attractive to students and more successful with business and industry.

In response to new undergraduate enrolments dropping for three years in succession, the university’s four faculties are being remodelled into seven academic schools to create their own brands and become more active.

Prof Phoenix also wants more students to spend part of their course in industry and he plans to create more of a campus feel by knitting together the university’s various buildings with more green spaces. LSBU has already invested over £50m in modern teaching facilities, and developments costing a further £38m are planned. The latest major project upgraded the university’s digital facilities at a cost of £14m.

Although satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey have nudged upwards this year – possibly in response to this heavy investment – falls in the average level of entry qualifications, the completion rate and poor graduate prospects drop LSBU to second bottom of our league table.

Students are attracted by a carefully tailored programme of vocational courses that regularly produce the best-paid graduates of any post-1992 university. But about half of them are 21 or over on entry, the mature students’ group that has seen the biggest drop in applications nationally.

Three-quarters of the students are from the capital and more than half are drawn from ethnic minorities. Of about 18,000 undergraduates, just under half study part-time and many are on sandwich courses. Most do not enter with traditional academic qualifications.

The diversity of the intake is encouraged by initiatives such as the summer school for local people to upgrade their qualifications. The courses, some catering for mature students and others for younger age-groups, start at the end of June and are limited to 15 hours a week so as not to affect students’ benefit entitlement.

South Bank has always given a high priority to widening participation in higher education and takes far more students (amounting to 47.5% of the intake) from the lowest socio-economic groups than other universities with similar courses and entry qualifications.

Diploma and degree courses run in parallel so that students can move up or down if they are better suited to another level of study. However, the projected dropout rate of more than one in five is among the highest in the country and well above the expected level.

LSBU is targeting much of its fee income on measures to ensure that more students complete their courses in the expected time. Fees for full-time degree courses are £9,000 a year, but Foundation degrees are available at a number of partner colleges in and around London for a fee of £6,120.

LSBU degrees are also taught at a network of overseas colleges that stretches from China to the Caribbean.

The main campus is in Southwark, not far from the South Bank arts complex. It includes the Centre for Efficient and Renewable Energy in Buildings, a unique teaching, research and demonstration resource for low carbon technologies, and the UK’s first inner city green technology research centre.

The Clarence Centre for Enterprise and Innovation supports start-up businesses - LBSU is one of the top universities for  “knowledge transfer partnerships”  with firms and other outside organisations. Specialist facilities such as the Centre for Explosion and Fire Research lead the way.

Although the university entered only 87 academics for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, their average grades were among the best of the new universities. More than 40% of the submission was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent.

Some health students are based on the other side of London, in hospitals in Romford and Leytonstone, where there is a smaller satellite campus in Havering to supplement that in Southwark.

The university now trains 40% of London’s nurses and has well-regarded courses in occupational therapy and radiography. Psychology degrees were revamped for 2012–13, making the university one of the first to adopt industry recommendations for an integrated curriculum that provides a deeper knowledge of the subject.

A new student centre opened in 2012, bringing the students’ union and many support services together to make them more convenient and accessible. A new hall of residence has added to the residential places within ten minutes’ walk of the main campus, but first year students cannot yet be guaranteed housing.

The university’s new-look sports centre opened in July after a million-pound makeover, with a multi-purpose sports hall, therapy services and facilities that include a 40-station fitness suite and a sports injury clinic.  Southwark council contributed £300,000 to improve the facilities and guarantee public access. The university provides a comprehensive sports scholarship scheme.
