Study Region
Studying in London
London offers the widest range of institutions, subjects, and industry links in the United Kingdom. It suits students who want a large, international city, extensive professional networks, and access to placements, hospitals, courts, laboratories, and financial institutions within the same city as their studies.
Student life
London's student population is one of the most international in the world, with large Arab and Muslim communities, mosques and prayer rooms on most campuses, and halal food widely available. Museums, libraries, sport, and student societies are extensive, and most universities run dedicated international-student support offices.
Cost of living
London is generally the most expensive part of the UK to live in, and accommodation is usually the largest cost. UK visa rules also set a higher required maintenance amount for London than for the rest of the country. We discuss realistic budgets individually during consultation.
Getting around
The Underground, buses, and rail cover the whole city, and student travel discounts are available. London is served by several international airports, including Heathrow.
Types of institutions
London contains large multi-faculty research universities, specialist institutions focused on a single field, and modern career-focused universities offering strong placement links.
