ABOUT US
Transforming Lives Through Excellent Education
London Met is an extraordinary institution. Equity and social inclusion have
always been our driving principles, and it's what makes the University so
unique. Our organisation is distinctive, both in its eclectic and diverse
community of students and staff, and also for its historical role in serving
some of London's most deprived boroughs. Everything we do is
underpinned by our philosophy that an individual should have the
opportunity to transform their life through the power of education.
Equipping our students with the tools for their future is at the heart of our
academic offering. We pride ourselves on providing our students with
access to a wealth of opportunities and professions. Our graduates benefit
personally, but also contribute their unique perspectives to society, culture,
public service and the economy in all areas of London, the UK and around
the world.

learning, teaching, and research activities and provide access to
educational and research resources, vibrant learning spaces and study
facilities and specialist support in making the best use of information
in all forms. With a friendly and professional online and face to face
enquiry and information service and 24/7 access to online resources,
