The University of East London (UEL) traces its origins to 1898, when the West Ham Technical Institute opened as a people's university for east London. It developed through a series of colleges and polytechnics before gaining university status in 1992. The university has two main campuses in east London: Stratford, close to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which hosts education, health, sport and psychology, and Docklands, the largest site, on the waterfront at Royal Albert Dock. University Square Stratford is a shared facility with Birkbeck, University of London.
UEL has around 27,000 students on its own campuses, with a wider community of more than 40,000 when collaborative partners are included. Its schools cover architecture, computing and engineering, business and law, education, health sciences, psychology, sport and the creative industries. The university is London's only provider of podiatric education, through its Centre for Clinical Education, and the SportsDock facility at Docklands served as a training base for Team USA during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Information for International Students
UEL has a diverse community, with around 160 nationalities represented across its student body. A dedicated international team supports applicants, while the Student Immigration and Compliance team advises on Student visa matters, including the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) process and Right to Study checks at enrolment. The typical English language requirement is IELTS 5.5 or 6.0 for undergraduate courses and IELTS 6.0 or 6.5 for most master's programmes, depending on the course.
Applicants slightly below the required level can take a pre-sessional English course, delivered online by the university. International pathway programmes are offered through the International Study Centre, operated by Malvern International in partnership with UEL and fully embedded on campus. Options include an integrated International Foundation Programme with a Student visa covering the full degree, International Year One with entry to the second year, and Pre-Master's programmes in business and humanities or in English and research skills. Accommodation includes waterfront halls of residence on campus, and the university provides an International Travel and Preparation Handbook alongside pre-arrival events. Eligible graduates may apply for the UK Graduate Route.

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 University of East London 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 University of East London 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. University of East London 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.
