About
We're a cosmopolitan university with over 18,000 students drawn from over 130 countries. We've been awarded Silver for teaching excellence under the Government's Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). We are University of the Year for Graduate Employment for the second year in a row (The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, 2019) and Times Higher Education's Entrepreneurial University of the Year 2016. Our mission is to be recognised as an enterprising civic university that addresses real world challenges. By 2020, we want to be London’s top modern university and our Corporate Strategy 2015–2020 (PDF File 749 KB) sets out how we’ll achieve this vision:

We've built strong links with local and international partners, creating new global opportunities while engaging with our communities and widening participation.
