The University as it is today was created in 2002 with the merging of London Guildhall University and the University of North London, the first merger between two universities in the UK. Its roots, however, lie firmly in the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Metropolitan Evening Classes for Young Men in 1848.
Students studying in any of our schools have access to all our communal facilities (such as libraries, social spaces, cafés and eateries), and each school also has areas of expertise which might mean you use specialist resources as part of your course. Our schools have links to relevant businesses in sectors related to their specialist subject areas, and the schools are also hotbeds of research undertaken by University academics and PhD students.
£2,000 Scholarship - all full-time international fee-paying students receive a £2,000 scholarship if they are successful with their application to London Met.

A much better university than many would assume. Of course, like with any school, it varies from department to department, but, overall, the university benefits from its London location and a lot of great professors give lectures there part time. Highly multicultural environment also helps the experience. Not many know than even the current mayor of London itself, Sadiq Khan is a graduate. The only downside is it can be tricky finding your first job, like with any university
It is very impontant to study abroad to achieve your goals.
It's a great experience in campus and there are very friendly lecturers
