Learn More →University Overview
London Metropolitan University, commonly known as London Met, is a public university in London. It was formed in 2002 through the merger of London Guildhall University and the University of North London, although its roots can be traced back to 1848, when evening classes were first offered to young working men in the City of London.
The university is based on two main campuses, at Holloway in north London and Aldgate on the edge of the City, and has around 13,500 students. Teaching is organised into six schools: the Guildhall School of Business and Law, the School of Computing and Digital Media, the School of Human Sciences, the School of Social Professions, the School of Social Sciences, and the School of Art, Architecture and Design. Together these offer around 160 degree courses. Art, architecture and design is a well regarded area of provision, and the university has a strong focus on widening participation, serving a diverse student body with many mature and first-generation students, and on vocational and professional education linked to employment in London.
Information for International Students
London Met has a dedicated team of international advisers who are trained and regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner. The team provides guidance on Student visas, short-term study visas, family and dependant visas, and the rules on working during and after study. It also assists with Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) applications and runs welcome inductions, events and workshops for new international students.
English language requirements vary by course and level, and are set out separately for undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees. A Pre-sessional Academic English course is available for students who need to improve their English before starting their degree, delivered in partnership with Oxford International.
The university's International Study Centre, delivered in partnership with Malvern HE Partnerships, part of Malvern International, offers an International Foundation Programme in business, computer science and health subjects, an International Year One in business and computer science, and a Pre-Master's Programme. These programmes run across the Holloway, Aldgate and Shoreditch sites. Graduates may be eligible for the UK Graduate Route after completing their studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with London Metropolitan University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for London Metropolitan University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. London Metropolitan University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
