International student life
Studying with us provides opportunities to meet people from all over the world and live a unique student life. We believe that London is the best place to make the most of your university experience.
Exploring London
As of 2024, London has been voted the world's best student city for five years running (QS Top Student Cities) - and we have to agree.
Being in London means you're close to museums and art galleries, shopping and nightlife - and so much green open space. It is a melting pot of different cultures, perspectives, and ideas with a diverse and vibrant student culture.
