Fast-track your studies
Study with us in the new year and you can complete your three-year degree in two-and-a-half years* starting in January/February. The first six months involve intensive learning, with seminars and lectures throughout the summer. We offer more support and smaller classes so that you can progress quickly in your studies and gain some great learning skills for the rest of your degree.
*Please note, any three-year courses in our Guildhall School of Business and Law (covering our business, law and language degrees) do not have the accelerated first year and will take three or four full years to complete.

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!
