Study at Walbrook Institute London

Why study at Walbrook Institute London

It is known for banking, finance and business education, alongside growing provision in areas such as computer science, psychology and education delivered mainly online. Its professional arm trains mortgage advisers through the CeMAP qualification and is an accredited body for UK financial advisers. Teaching is career-focused and closely linked to the financial district on its doorstep, which suits students seeking a compact, professionally oriented institution rather than a large multi-faculty university.

Location and student life

Walbrook's teaching site is at 25 Lovat Lane in the City of London, a three-minute walk from Monument Underground station on the Circle and District lines, with Bank station also nearby. Facilities span the Lovat Lane building and Peninsular House, close to the Monument to the Great Fire of London and the Thames. Airport routes from Heathrow and Stansted connect via Paddington, Liverpool Street and the Underground, and national rail and coach termini are within easy reach.

Student life centres on the City and central London rather than a self-contained campus. Learners use communal study areas, multifaith rooms and events across the two buildings, alongside the wider attractions of the capital. Many students combine study with part-time work and networking in nearby financial firms.

Courses and subjects

On campus, undergraduate options include BSc (Hons) Banking and Digital Finance and BSc (Hons) Finance Investment and Risk, while on-campus postgraduate provision covers the MBA and related business and management master's degrees. Online, the portfolio is broader: MBAs in subjects from banking and finance to artificial intelligence and healthcare management, MSc degrees in computer science, cyber security and psychology, and MA degrees in education. The LIBF professional arm offers banking and finance qualifications including CeMAP and adviser diplomas. Applicants needing preparation should note the pre-sessional English programme advertised for on-campus MBA entrants, and check course pages for any preparatory options.

Entry requirements for international students

Postgraduate degrees typically ask for a UK 2:2 honours degree or an equivalent international qualification, sometimes plus professional experience, while undergraduate applicants need school-leaving qualifications comparable to UK entry standards. English-language requirements vary by programme: published tables show, for example, 6.0 overall with no element below 5.5 for MSc and MA degrees, and 6.5 with no element below 6.0 for the online MBA. A pre-sessional English programme runs ahead of on-campus MBA intakes. Requirements differ by course, so international applicants should confirm exact criteria on the relevant course page before applying.

Accommodation

Walbrook does not run its own halls of residence. It partners with International Students House (ISH), which offers supported student accommodation in central London, and points students to private rentals, student halls and shared flats near the City campus. Students arrange and pay for their own housing. As London accommodation is competitive and costly, applicants should start their search early and use the guidance on the university's London campus and student-life pages.

Scholarships and funding

International students on on-campus master's degrees may receive early-payment scholarships of up to £4,000 depending on region and payment plan: paying 100% of tuition before enrolment reduces the total to £12,500, while Group 1 students paying a £10,000 instalment before CAS issuance receive £2,000 off (total £14,500). On-campus undergraduate fees are listed as £18,500 per year for international students, or £16,500 with scholarship. Amounts, regions and deadlines change each year, so check the international fees page and your offer letter.
