A TRACK RECORD YOU CAN RELY ON
The University of London was the first university to offer opportunities to study for its degrees worldwide to those who were not able to study on campus in London. University of London degrees have been available through its External System since 1858, so we have a track record in delivering courses to you wherever you live and whatever your circumstances.
PROVEN QUALITY
You, and your employer, can rely on the quality of your award. Your assessment is the responsibility of the lead College, which assesses students studying courses on campus in London. Moreover, our quality has been endorsed by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) – the UK’s independent body for safeguarding the quality and standards of Higher Education. It confirmed that confidence can be placed in the University’s management of the quality of its programmes and of the standards of awards made through the External System.
Developed to fit busy lifestyles
Studying with the University of London International Programmes allows you to keep working while you study for your degree, even if your employment takes you around the world. We currently have more than 45,000 students in countries ranging from Australia to Zambia, and our comprehensive network of exam centres spans over 180 countries.
VALUE FOR MONEY
Your overall costs will be substantially lower than if you come to London to study full time on campus. With no travel, relocation or accommodation costs it represents excellent value for money.
