GO Universities in Central London

Famous as an important seat of learning, international students flock to London to be part of some of the UK’s premier universities.

The University of London is a huge and extremely diverse place, with more than 18 district colleges, uniting a range of talented lecturers and a wealth of disciplines. The UOL was founded in 1829, and was the first college outside of Oxford and Cambridge. It was also the first college to admit students regardless of age, race or religion, setting the standard for its international flavour.

One of UOL’s most famous colleges is University College London, Gower Street, WC1. UCL has set the standard for teaching excellence and constantly appears in the top 10 list of learning institutions. UCL is famed for its engineering, medical, and languages teaching. There’s also a big student union presence and creative societies such as drama, music and art are particularly strong.

Another college that forms part of the University of London is King’s College London. Located at The Strand and close to the Royal Courts of Justice and the Inns of Court, King’s College has a strong reputation for offering English and History studies.

The New York Film Academy [map], within King’s College, provides a base for production staff of the future who have the chance to learn the skills of the trade alongside some famous directors, writers and technical staff.

The London Metropolitan University specialises in sociology and psychology as well as education studies. With a wide range of colleges across the whole of London, including EC1 and E1, there’s a variety of courses on offer.
