Undergraduate

An undergraduate course (known as a bachelor's degree) is usually the first degree students apply for and lasts for three years.

You graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Sciences (BSc) or Education (BEd) depending on your choice of topic.

The basic building block of the degree is a module. Each module is worth 30 credits and an honours degree is awarded to students who achieve 360 credits.

You will be studying some core modules, which are compulsory parts of the course, and some optional modules, which you can choose according to your own interests.

Postgraduate

Postgraduate degrees are for students who have already completed an undergraduate degree to a good standard or have enough experience in the relevant field.

A master's is usually taught like an undergraduate degree and takes one or two years. It is more challenging than a bachelor's and demands considerable independent thought from students.

A doctorate (PhD) is the most demanding academic qualification, and usually involves creating a book-length publishable piece of original research in its field.


We offer a wide range of MA, MSc, MPhil and PhD programmes. Search our course database for taught Masters.

For reseach degrees please contact the research office.

Application deadline for Postgraduate courses
Wednesday 21 September at 5pm - PG home/EU applicants and any international applicants in the UK

Pre-degree

Mature students or younger people who have the ability to succeed but do not have all the formal qualifications or experience needed to start an undergraduate degree can enrol on pre-degree and access courses.

A pre-degree is a one or two semester course at the University which, when completed successfully, will guarantee you a place on the first year of a degree or diploma at London Met.

Access courses are held at our partner colleges. These programmes prepare students for entry into undergraduate degrees by providing knowledge and skills in specific subject areas.

Professional and short courses

London is amazing. It is a truly 24-hour city, full of history, with an incredible choice of entertainment. Our buildings are dotted around London, but principally in two centres: the City centre of London, and in North London.

City Campus
Our City campus has a prime location in the heart of the City of London and the vibrant Aldgate area of east London. Both artists and business people are equally at home in this area, where skyscrapers mix with trendy cafes and galleries.

Around the corner from our Calcutta House and Central House buildings, you'll find cutting-edge exhibitions at Whitechapel Art Gallery, clothes bargains at Petticoat Lane market and retro gems at the eclectic Spitalfields market. Here is a map of our City Campus.

North Campus
Our North London campus in Islington sits within a multicultural community, full of lively bars, beautiful parks and independent shops. Antiques markets and period houses characterise the area, which as football fans will know, is also home to premiership football team Arsenal.

There are many local entertainment options, from cinemas and theatres such as the Almeida and Sadlers Wells, to stand-up comedy, clubs and music and dance venues. Here is a map of our North Campus.
