South Bank Colleges is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership that opens up a world of knowledge and resources to its students. Through a collaborative arrangement with our sister institution, South Bank University, eligible students aged 18 and over can now access the extensive library facilities at the university's award-winning Elephant and Castle campus.
This initiative aims to enhance the learning experience by providing students with a broader range of resources to support their studies. Eligible students will be able to borrow up to 20 books from the university library, enabling them to delve deeper into their subjects without resource constraints. Additionally, they can take advantage of visitor Wi-Fi and printing facilities, ensuring a seamless study experience while on the university premises.
To access this opportunity, students will need to obtain a South Bank University ID card. The process is simple: prepare a passport-sized photo against a plain white background and upload it when completing the application form. Friendly staff at the Learning Resources Centre (LRC) on the Clapham Campus, as well as on floors 4, 6, and 8 of the Nine Elms campus's Digital Spines, are available to assist with any questions and guide you through the application process.
This partnership reflects South Bank Colleges' unwavering commitment to providing students with the best possible educational resources and support. We encourage all eligible students to seize this opportunity and explore the rich materials available, broadening their academic horizons and fostering a love for lifelong learning.
