London Met is a forward thinking university with an excellent history of working with a large number of academic and corporate institutions. We have developed areas within faculties which help to support talented students and graduates with developing real business experience. The WOW Agency is embedded within the School of Computing and places students from Digital, Multimedia and IT into real client-driven projects. Accelerator placed within the Business School, supports students in starting their own business and materialising their innovative and creative ideas, allowing them to build meaningful careers they love.
Our courses are not only highly vocational and relevant to industry but also deliver the highest level of academic teaching. In 2011, London Metropolitan University received the highest accolade in the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) review. The QAA is an independent body that conducts rigorous assessments of universities and colleges in the UK every five years. They make sure that these institutions are delivering awards, including degrees, of the very highest quality.
Our research is also recognised as of the highest quality. The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) is an assessment exercise that acts as a barometer of research quality in the UK and is used to apportion government funding for research work. In our most recent RAE (2011) more than two thirds of our research was judged to be ‘internationally recognised’ ‘internationally excellent’ or ‘world leading’.

- Aldgate campus
In 1848 the then Bishop of London called upon the clergy to set up evening classes to improve the “moral, intellectual and spiritual condition of young men in the metropolis”. The Metropolitan Evening Classes for Young Men was thus born and later became the City of London College and then the City of London Polytechnic. In 1992 it was awarded university status and adopted the name London Guildhall University.
- Holloway campus
Over the past 100 years, our north London campus has developed into a modern, progressive centre with a strong reputation for widening access into education.
This campus began life in 1896 as the Northern Polytechnic Institute. By 1900, student numbers had doubled and later the Institute’s evening degrees were recognised by the University of London. In 1992 the Polytechnic of North London won the right to the title of University and the ability to award its own degrees.
