University of London

London is a remarkable city, which is why students come here from all over the world, often choosing to study at one of our 17 University of London federation member institutions.

When students can’t travel to London, however, they can still study with a London university. The University of London works with our federation members to offer more than 100 degrees, diplomas and certificates available to study online or on campus at our School of Advanced Studies in London. Wherever you live in the world, a University of London education is within easy reach.
