Frequently Asked Questions

• Will I still have to pay to participate in activities in addition to the fee?

  While some activities have additional fees, the Student Association fee allows the SA to ensure that many of our student-led events, and over three quarters of our clubs, are free to join.
  
  Additional fees are more likely to be incurred in relation to:

   

  • Membership of sports teams and some professional clubs
  • Social events which provide food and/or alcohol
  • Attendance at flagship conferences
  • Travel and treks
• How will the Student Association Fee be invoiced?

  London Business School collects the Student Association Fee on behalf of the Student Association.
  
  The Student Association Fee covering your full time at London Business School will be included with your first tuition invoice. The fee is itemised separately to tuition, but should be paid at the same time.
  
  Note: PhD students will be not be invoiced due to the different payment structure; please check with the programme office for further details.

  Note: EMBA-Global students are not charged a fee, due to a reciprocal agreement with the partner Schools.

• Do I still have access to the same opportunities despite differences in fees?

  The fee is set as an annual fee for a full-time student. For part-time and/or multi-year programmes the fee has been adjusted to reflect this.
  
  The Student Association’s objective is to run activities and events which benefit the whole community.
  
  This reduction in fee is not intended to signify a difference in the opportunities provided, but rather that students completing part-time or multi-year programmes are likely to find they have differing ability to participate in these activities due to their own personal circumstances. The fee is therefore adjusted in recognition of this.
  
  One exception to this is for certain Student Association leadership roles which require students to remain on campus beyond twelve months. These opportunities are necessarily only available to students undertaking a multi-year programme.
