US students who are fully funding their studies via US financial aid are typically exempt from paying a deposit. For students who are self-funding they usually have to pay a deposit equal to 50% of the tuition fees for the first year. This must be paid before CAS can be assigned.

Do I need to pay taxes as a student in the UK?

As a student, you're typically exempt from paying council tax (like a property tax), however, if you live with non-students this may be required. You should request a Council tax exemption letter from your school office and then give it to your local council office. If you work part-time, you may need to pay income tax and national insurance if your earnings exceed the personal allowance threshold. Also, VAT (value-added tax, equivalent to sales tax) is typically included in the price of most goods and services. Finally, if you have a television in your home or watch online programming such as BBC iPlayer you may need to purchase a TV License.

If you are earning an income you may be required to pay income tax if your earn above the personal income tax allowance. You can find more information here under "Do I need to pay income tax". 

Can London Met complete US 1098-T tax forms?

The university does not have an EIN or issue the 1098-T tax form as an overseas instituion. However, you can independently download/ request the information you need to file your US taxes. See our US Financial Aid FAQs for more information. 

Do I need to take an English Language test?

Applicants from the USA who are US citizens are usually exempt from submitting English language requirements. SELT requirements apply to applicants that are not of majority English speaking nationality as defined by the UK Home Office, or those who do not possess a degree awarded, studied and conferred in a majority English speaking country. Find out more information on English language requirements and exemptions.

Can I transfer credits from my US institution to London Met?

As the English education style doesn’t include general education classes, transferring credits isn’t common. College classes may be considered as part of our entry requirements or if you have completed a two-year associate degree you may be considered for Year 2 entry on a case-by-case basis.

How do I choose my modules at London Met?

Modules (classes) are either core (required) or optional (select a certain number to complete). Most undergraduate courses have all core modules in the first year with more optional throughout the second and third year. For postgraduate it also depends on the course how many core or optional modules you will have. Typically, your timetable is designed for you with information provided once you arrive in the UK for orientation, and therefore you do not need to sign up to classes before arriving. If this is different your department will contact you with the relevant information to select your modules. You can see what modules are available for your course on the course page.

Are there any specific items I can't bring into the UK?

Certain items are restricted or prohibited from being brought into the UK, such as controlled drugs, firearms, weapons and certain food products. Check the UK government website for a full list. Please be aware that self-defence weapons such as bear/pepper spray are illegal in the UK. It is also advised to check all medicine before travelling.

Will my US mobile phone work in the UK?

This depends on your phone and your carrier. It's best to check with your provider; you may need to unlock your phone before traveling. We typically recommend students get a UK SIM card for local and cheaper rates. These can be purchased at the airport, online or at several high street (main street) retailers.

What laws in the UK are different that I should be aware of?

The legal drinking age is 18, driving is on the left side of the road, and there are strict anti-weapon laws (pepper spray is illegal) in addition to strict smoking and drug laws. It's also important to familiarise yourself with the UK's laws on acceptable behaviour, hate speech and drug use, as they may differ from US laws.

What are the biggest cultural differences I might experience in London?

While the US and UK share a common language and many cultural elements, you'll likely encounter distinct differences in London, such as the importance placed on politeness, queuing and a less widespread tipping culture. The British approach to humour, language nuances and day-to-day interactions may also differ from those in the US.

What's the difference between 'college' and 'university' in the UK compared to the US?

In the US, 'college' and 'university' can be used interchangeably. However, in the UK, 'college' typically refers to institutions that offer further education courses, while 'university' refers to institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

What language differences should I be aware of between American and British English?

Be prepared for different spellings, vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. For example, 'apartment' is 'flat', 'elevator' is 'lift', and 'college' can mean a different type of institution. Key spelling differences include the use of ‘s’ instead of ‘z’ in words like realise, specialise, and summarise.

The date format within the UK is different to the US with the UK using the Day / Month / Year format. It is also common for the UK to use the 24-hour clock format e.g., 18:00 instead of 6pm. Finally, the UK using a mix of metric and imperial measurements eg, temperature is measured in Celsius whereas the road speed limit is in miles.

While we've provided close equivalents where possible, it's important to note that these terms, especially those related to governance and official entities, may not have exact counterparts. Each country's unique administrative and cultural context means that a direct comparison might not always align precisely.

While Clearing is open to all students, it particularly supports those who did not receive the grades they needed for their conditional offer or those who exceeded their conditions. It varies as to whether universities allow international students to apply via Clearing due to the short time between Clearing opening and term starting, meaning visas can be difficult to acquire.
