Physiotherapy

"Starting at SBUA and now being at university studying Physiotherapy just feels like the right path for me. The support and discipline I developed at SBUA really helped me feel prepared for university life."

Daniel Caseria studied at South Bank University Academy before progressing to London South Bank University, where he is now studying Physiotherapy.

During his time at SBUA, Daniel developed strong academic discipline, independence, and confidence—skills that have helped him transition smoothly into higher education. Through SBUA’s connection with LSBU, he was able to gain early exposure to university life, making the move into university feel familiar and well-supported.

SBUA gave me opportunities I never thought I’d have. The support from teachers and the experiences I gained helped me feel confident that my place at university was earned.
