As an applicant to LSBM there are a number of ways in which you can submit your application and the relevant supporting documentation. You can apply to the school directly, in which case you should follow the steps explained in The Application Process, or you may visit one of our representing agencies which are listed in this web site - click here.  It is the stated policy of LSBM that if you apply through an agency it should cost you no more than if you applied directly, although the agency may charge a reasonable fee to recover their expenses associated with processing and shipping applications to us. If you apply through an agency here are some relevant facts:

• The full first year's fee is required before we can issue an acceptance letter and the associated visa support documents
• This deposit less a £50 application fee will be refunded to you if your visa is refused
• The application and its supporting documents must be fully complete before LSBM can process it.
• You must complete and sign the application yourself and you must handwrite the “Statement of
  Purpose” yourself. The agent is not allowed to complete or write out either of these on your behalf.
• We are required by UK law to have an accurate and verifiable home address and passport ID page for you.
• All correspondence will be sent via the agency who should forward the letters to you. There should not be a charge for either the letter or the forwarding service.

Representing agents can be a good resource to assist student applicants in the sometimes complex process of studying in an overseas institution. Generally speaking you can expect the following services from a representing agent:

• Providing information and answering questions about LSBM for you and your family.
• Assistance in completing the application form and gathering the required support documents.
• Advising about career opportunities in your selected field.
• Providing information about travelling to and living in the UK.
• Supplying thorough information about the visa application and interview process.
• Forwarding of all correspondence from the school.
