    Highly trusted LSBF gets Home Office Approval

    London School of Business & Finance is proud to have been awarded Highly Trusted Sponsor status by the UK Border Agency.

    As one of only two private educational institutions in London to hold Highly Trusted Sponsor status, this reaffirms the position of LSBF as the destination of choice for first-class business, finance and marketing programmes.

    The Highly Trusted Sponsor Scheme was introduced as part of the five-tier immigration system to ensure the quality and track record of educational institutions, their commitment to attendance and their course completion rates. Achieving the status of Highly Trusted Sponsor grants the official confidence of the Home Office in LSBF as a safe pair of hands to develop the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.

    LSBF is dedicated to developing innovative programmes that prepare students for the realities of working in high-level roles in the modern global economy. With state-of-the-art facilities, close links with business and a faculty of leading industry professionals LSBF provides a dynamic educational environment with highly valued graduates. Receiving Highly Trusted Sponsor status also allows the school to pass the benefits on to students, making it possible for students to obtain their tier 4 study visas more quickly, and increasing the range of courses that LSBF can provide in the future.

    To achieve the Highly Trusted Sponsor status, institutions must satisfy 9 rigourous criteria set by the UK Border Agency. Successfully attaining this status reinforces LSBF’s reputation of an internationall student destination, attracting the most talented and ambitious students in the world, and ensuring that they are fully supported at every stage of their time with the insitution, from the initial visa application through to graduation and beyond.

    Speaking about this significant development for LSBF, Managing Director of the Business School, Mr. Anton Baboglo, commented:

    "LSBF is delighted to be recognised as a Highly Trusted Sponsor, as it underlines our reputation as an international centre for academic excellence. The status demonstrates our commitment to making the move to the UK as easy and hassle-free as possible for our international student population, which, comprising 153 nationalities, makes up more than 80% of our student body."

    London School of Business and Finance has campuses across the UK and an international presence than spans the globe. It offers a full range of postgraduate MBA, MSc and MIB programmes as well as leading professional qualifications including ACCA, CIMA, CFA® and CIM.
