About the Institution

London Metropolitan University has three campuses in the heart of London—Holloway, Aldgate, and Shoreditch—placing students at the centre of one of the world’s most vibrant and diverse cities. Our location provides direct access to London’s professional, creative and cultural sectors, with world-renowned museums, galleries, theatres and historic landmarks all within easy reach.

Ranked among the top 10 UK universities for teaching quality (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024), we offer a wide range of practical and professionally oriented courses through our six academic schools: Business and Law, Art, Architecture and Design, Computing and Digital Media, Human Sciences, Social Sciences and Professions, and The Built Environment. Every undergraduate degree includes work-related learning—such as placements, live briefs or industry-based projects—so students graduate ready for the workplace.

London Met is proud of its vibrant and inclusive community, with students from over 140 nationalities. Our mission is to transform lives through the power of education by promoting social justice, widening participation, and supporting student success. Established in 2020, our Centre for Equity and Inclusion plays a leading role in advancing institutional change, tackling inequality in higher education, and providing meaningful support for both students and staff.
