We pride ourselves on the education and overall experience we provide to our students. This has been recognised in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024 where we ranked ninth in the UK for our teaching quality and 10th in the UK for student experience.

Dedicated to employability

We're 100% committed to helping our students reach their goals and succeed in their careers. All of our undergraduate courses include some form of work-related learning, such as a placement, client project or on-campus work experience, and many courses are accredited by professional bodies. In the Daily Mail University Guide 2024, we feature in the top 20 UK universities for student support and in the top 50 UK universities for graduate salaries.

Leading the way in environmental sustainability

We've been widely recognised for our sustainability improvements. In December 2021, we were recognised by the People and Planet sustainability league table as the university that has made the largest reduction in carbon emissions out of all UK universities, having reduced our carbon emissions by 80% since 2005-06.

Meet our real London community

Like the wider London community, our students, staff and graduates come from all kinds of backgrounds – some from around the corner, others from around the globe. Each and every one of them belongs here and uniquely contributes to our community and the city around them. They are The Real London. This is The Real London. Our Real London stories are brought to life by a London Met graduate who was inspired by the extraordinary people who make up the University community here. We hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as we did!
