Reputation
The University of London is recognised nationally and
internationally as a centre of academic excellence. In all
parts of the world, graduates have gone on to occupy
influential positions in government, the professions, business
and industry. Wherever you live, it is likely that you will
find that you can network informally with London alumni.
University
of London programmes have been available through the
International Programmes (formerly known as the External
System) since 1858. Studying with the University allows a high
measure of flexibility for those with financial constraints,
work and family commitments, or lack of local access to higher
education. The International Programmes currently have over
50,000
students in over
180 countries studying for more than
100 awards.
