Our Ranking
We believe that the UK Government should be the formal assessor of universities, rather than privately owned newspapers and we therefore choose not to appear in privately organised league tables.
The quality of our teaching is assessed through the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), who work with higher education institutions to define academic standards and quality, and then carry out reviews against these standards.
In our most recent Institutional Audit the QAA concluded that they had 'broad confidence', the highest level of commendation, in the soundness of the University's current and likely future management of the quality of its academic programmes and the academic standards of its awards.
The Research Assessment Exercise assesses the quality of research in universities and colleges in the UK. This takes place every four to five years with the next review result to be published in December 2008.
We believe that higher education institutions should be assessed through these formal mechanisms, rather than privately commissioned 'league tables' in order to safeguard and improve the academic standards and quality of higher education in the UK.
Formal recognition
London Metropolitan University is a fully recognised state university in the UK, recognised, like all other universities, by the Privy Council and the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
