Studying at LCBS
It our goal to help every student reach their goal, and provide a positive teaching and learning experience. All undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at the business school will get to enjoy an innovative approach to learning, known as ‘block teaching’. This allows students to focus on one subject at a time, instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. 51Âþ» is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.
With block teaching, not only will you have more time to learn your subject in depth, but you will also benefit from a simple timetable with space to enjoy all that university life has to offer such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering our city.
