London Metropolitan University

Introduction

London Metropolitan University was born from a merger between the University of North London and London Guildhall University in 2002. Since then, the University has carved out a reputation for being fiercely committed to inclusion and opportunity. Its mission is crystal clear: to transform lives through education, regardless of a student's background.

Academically, London Met is grounded in practical, career-focused learning. Its strengths lie in areas like business, law, social sciences, computing, art and design, and health-related disciplines. It’s also a hub of innovation, hosting cutting-edge research in social justice, sustainability, and public health. Over the years, the university has celebrated numerous milestones, including award-winning architecture on its Holloway Road campus and industry-recognized initiatives supporting refugee education and community development.

With one of the UK’s most ethnically diverse student bodies and a global faculty, the university doesn’t just celebrate differences—it empowers them.
