LSBF Graduation Ceremony 2024

The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) held its annual graduation ceremony on Friday, 11th October 2024, at St Andrew's Church, Holborn. It was a joyous occasion marking the achievements of our students who have successfully completed their academic journeys.

The ceremony began with a warm welcome and a speech from Managing Director and Vice-Rector Karina Kizhner, who spoke about how LBSF is leading the way in creating flexible online opportunities for students. She also named students who had made significant steps in their careers thanks to our quality education and their dedication and hard work. We are sure these words of encouragement and advice resonated with the graduates, motivating them to continue aiming for excellence in their future endeavours.

"This graduation marks not just the culmination of hard work and dedication, but the beginning of new opportunities for our students. At London School of Business & Finance, we pride ourselves on equipping our graduates with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in today’s dynamic global economy. I am incredibly proud of what our students have achieved and excited to see the positive impact they will continue to make in their careers and communities." – Karina Kizhner (Managing Director and Vice-Rector)

The keynote speech was delivered by Jo Johnson, Executive Chairman of FutureLearn and former Minister of State for Universities, Research, Science and Innovation. He spoke to our students and guests about the importance of internationalising the UK education system and how this can allow as many people as possible to benefit from higher education and make significant positive changes in their personal lives. He also spoke about how LSBF students are “citizens of the world”, meaning that our graduates will be drivers of innovation who contribute to national and local prosperity.

“As I look out at you all, I see a diverse and incredibly talented group of individuals from all corners of the world, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.” –Jo Johnson

The celebrations continued with our students crossing the stage to receive their well-deserved diplomas. We also took a moment to congratulate and thank our dedicated staff and tutors, who work tirelessly to help our students get one step closer to their professional dreams.

As our graduates embark on their new chapters, they carry with them the knowledge, skills, and confidence gained from their time at LSBF. Our commitment to providing quality education and nurturing future leaders was evident in the success of our graduating class.

"Congratulations to the LSBF Class of 2024! Our graduation day on October 11th was a truly remarkable celebration of the dedication and achievements of our students, faculty, and staff. I am immensely proud of our graduates and excited to witness the incredible impact they will make in the world. This is just the beginning!" - Dr. Shahnaz Hamid (Dean)
