| | AIM25: South Bank University: South Bank University |
 | | Administrative/Biographical history: South Bank Polytechnic was redesignated as South Bank University following the Higher and Further Education Act (1992), which created a single funding council, the Higher Education Funding Council, for England and abolished the remaining distinctions between polytechnics and universities. |
 | | As a legacy of the amalgamation of various institutions to form South Bank, the university was located across a number of sites, and consequently South Bank has been consolidating onto one campus. |
 | | South Bank University has consolidated and developed course specialities in health (nursing and allied health professions); computing, internet and multimedia, engineering, applied science; architecture, construction and estate management; business studies, management, languages and law; social sciences, arts, media studies, digital media and video production; English and a new programme of Combined Honours degree subjects. |
