London Metropolitan University - Partnership Program

London Metropolitan University is a diverse, metropolitan university of around 12,000 students, located at the heart of one of the most exciting cities in the world. Its mission is to transform lives through excellent education and build rewarding careers for its students, staff and partners. Its courses have received top marks from the U.K.'s Quality Assurance Agency and in the latest Research Assessment Exercise, more than two-thirds of the University's research output was judged to be world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognized.

The University combines a friendly atmosphere and welcoming attitude with the capacity and resources to deliver a quality learning experience. Students have access to excellent facilities, from the recently refurbished Learning Centre on Holloway Road to the Superlab – a cutting edge science facility with more than 280 workstations.
Teaching takes place on two campuses in central London and students may study at either or both campuses, depending on the classes they take. The North campus in Islington concentrates on humanities, social sciences, computing, mathematics and natural sciences. There are plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants nearby and there is also a choice of cinemas, theatres and comedy venues in the local area for you to enjoy. The new Arsenal soccer stadium is just a three-minute walk from the university's Learning Centre.

The City campus is the location for business, law and art classes. It has a prime location in the Aldgate and Moorgate areas. It is bordered on one side by the City of London, an international financial center with corporate businesses situated alongside traditional trading firms. On the other side, near Aldgate, you will find colorful bargain markets such as Petticoat Lane, great art at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, and Brick Lane, where you can experience the district's rich culture and great nightlife, regularly featured in London's top events guides.
