I am a third year student and have absolutely enjoyed every single day. Lecturers are brilliant, approachable and always supportive. You can go in the best university at the end of the day it is down to the student to want to achieve rather than expecting the university to complete your work. To get a good mark you need to attend lectures and seminars, ask when unsure and sit and do your work.
If you want to be surrounded by diverse students, feel part of community and achieve your best than choose London Met.

I know diddly-squat about this institution but the Architect, Daniel Libeskind's Graduate Centre (2004) is a forceful presence and footprint on Holloway Road; a jutting steel-capped jackboot that demands attention, dominates the street and one of London's modern icons.

Good University. Did my law degree there. Now doing my PhD in law in Australia. The university is not without it's own challenges. But it does not at all deserve the bulk of negative reviews being made against it.

Hated every moment, had lecturers reading off power point slides word for word. Only a few lecturers would actively engage with the students in their classes, one of the good things is that lecture notes are posted online and there are lots of computers to use around the campus especially if you want to do work in peace and quiet

Seen talentless, unwilling to learn anything people studying Architecture in this university and that simply led to the conclusion that this university will only take your money - which apparently it's a "luxury" to study anything in this university - and nobody will value your talent and work ethic. Too expensive, pretty messy and unorganized, kind of racist.

DONT GO HERE PLEASE U WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. LIKE ME, I STUDIED BA ILLUSTRATION WHICH WAS A SHAMBLES, LECTURES ARE NON ENGAGING..I CAN GO ON..

PLEASE DONT GIVE THIS UNI MONEY, PLUS A DEGREES FROM LONDON MET IS NOT VIEWED HIGHLY ANYWHERE!

I was very close to joining this university until i found out they let Islamic racist speakers come in and brainwash pupils.
They even went as far as considering to ban alcohol as it upsets the Muslims that go to the school!
And to make things worse Islamic society of London today said the murder of Lee Rigby was a hoax!

I am so glad i never chose this university and i would avoud it like the plague!

If you have a disability do not go here. The support is nonexistent. Before I started I had a needs assessment and it was sent to the university many months before I started. However I started I received no support and had to go to several different people to find answers why. It turns out they had cut the support staff by 50% in the first year and by the third year there there was virtually no support staff. I had many other issues too like when they tried to resolve issues it created other issues that meant I was suspended on the systems for many months at a time. I have gone through the hell here and wouldn't wish it on others.

It's a good university clean and modern takes time to get used to the layout expect to get lost quite a bit. Nice food on site, cafe, restaurant and bar. I don't rate the location though it's very run down I just wish they had another location in a more desirable area

Had a great time at this uni on BTEC HND and Bsc Computing courses. While some lecturers are disinterested in students' progress, many are very helpful and conscientious and supportive (thank you Boris Cogan!). They took me on as a mature student with only five O'levels and I am thankful they gave me a chance to excel. Any student who is not highly self-motivated may find themselves just scraping though as there is a culture among many students to do as little work as possible.

The talk was highly uninformative, the lecturer only spoke of himself. he didnt know the subject he was talking of. Noone knew where anything was happening so had to work out route ourselves, left after an hour. Not considering this university.

Did my masters degree in marketing here in 2010. Tutor time for my entire dissertation was less than one hour! Worst education money can buy. You re on your own, lecturers couldn t care less. One tutor stood out and was amazing, he left the university now.

I have very fond memories of London Met. The Nutrition and Dietetics programme is very robust and one of the best in the country. The lectures and practical session were of very high standard and the tutorials and assignments were equally good. I feel that can compete effectively with nutritionist trained anywhere in the world. In addition the IT facilities are very good and IT rooms have plenty of computer and there was no overcrowding. The staff are friendly and the lecturers are very approachable. If you are looking for a university where you will be spoon fed, don't go to London met; it is for independent thinkers who love to find things out for themselves. Also, you get to meet very mature students with years of experience in their field.

I am currently studying for a BSc in Health and social care at LondonMet, I have to say I really love the vibe of this University. It has been a very positive experience so far, the Lecturers are the best I have ever come across their true academics, with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience in the field of their subjects. Great environment and great students who are all so friendly and welcoming, I have no regrets about coming to this University, I have progressed greatly and I already know so much more about my course, I have more confidence in my abilities as a result. Well done London Met for being a truly modern supportive and vibrant University, enroll you will not regret it.

London Metropolitan University undergraduate courses fees are decent for the benefit you will get. Very good IT tutors, I recommend whoever that is interested in BSc computer science to enrol at London met

Studying at London Met has been great, from teaching to the facilities and the environment of the campus is very warm and friendly. Throughout the years I have been able to get myself into different societies and help build my CV through the help and support provided by the university. Also to mention the lecturers and mentors have been absolutely wonderful without them we would have not come this far.

Truly brilliant university, If you want to study art design architecture related curses its the best one in London. You will meet people from all over the world, lectures are fun and engaging.
I had such a great time studying there.

I completed a computing and marketing BA there in 2011 which helped to propel me into career I wanted and now have. The facilities were adequate, professors majorly helpful and knowledgeable (apart from 1 out of all classes I took over 3 years, pretty good statistic). It is a large university and both student and professor bodies are diverse racially and culturally. This uni however is for people who are proactive, ask questions and want to learn. If you need extensive guidance and supervision in your studies this uni will not fulfil your needs.

Very welcoming atmosphere, amazing lecturers, very understanding environment. People are great here and I would definitely recommend the uni to anyone looking to receive a good all round education.

The worst university I have ever been in. I studied Bachelor degree in Accounting in Middlesex University before I came to London Met.

I decided to go for a career change and study a teaching degree. For the 2 years I been in London Met doing BE'd Early years teaching degree. I was not supported whatsoever. Any complaint that I would provide was taken in a very negative manner. Going to placements in schools was not about the trainee student teacher. It was all about how to kiss a** to the school in order for school to accept more students from the university and for the university not to loose the school.
If you stand up for yourself you will be put down, and probably kicked out, which what happened to me.

I would not recommend this University for anyone. They are completely disorganized and lecturers don't have any knowledge or experience whatsoever. In those 2 years in London Met, I developed severe depression from the way I been treated and I am currently under medication and counselling because of the them.

London Metropolitan University is bottom of the ra...

London Metropolitan University is bottom of the rank (131) in 2019.
This university still charges the same fees as other top universities in London.
LMU University is deliberately requesting staff spread misinformation to students about the finance available to them. London Metropolitan University wants to spread disinformation verbally, so nobody can prove it and they can deny it.

If you are not providing finance why not advertise and make it public via your website, unless you have something unlawful to hide.

LMU University is more interested in making their bank accounts/ student finance budget look great not helping students in need, after all directors are not going to question extra cash.
LMU want to make their bank accounts look bigger, they have finance which they are not giving out, instead requesting students seek other avenues.

LMU University state they have poor teaching and students are getting below average grades.

LMU states it hopes to get students getting first class degree s in a year, not possible to overturn that in such a short time. LMU should be externally audited and have students interviewed if the grades suddenly start rising rapidly as I believe they will falsify them.

Based on past records, LMU University stands to have its licence stripped away after all nobody wants a failed degree from a non-existent university.

I believe London Metropolitan University, is keeping money for students because they are afraid of going bankrupt once this happens they won t be getting any tuition, won t be able to pay HMRC and won t exist. London Metropolitan University want to keep the cash for wages and NI contributions.

There is a reason this university is bottom of the rank not event your current students approve. This university has poor teaching and finances issues and need to be investigated for financial crime that or incompetency.

anyone who is thinking of going here should do a Google search about the university. Then do another google search and find anywhere else to go. If this is the only place you get accepted at then don't bother. work hard for a year and do the exams you have to do and apply somewhere else. Anywhere just please don't go here.

This place is rubbish and a scam. The money I paid while there was a joke and what I got for my money was worse than school.

some teacher we couldn't understand. They didn't want to help us lean anything and they didn't want to answer our questions. One lecturer spent the lecture promoting her book she wrote herself.

If this is the only place you get accepted at then don't bother. work hard for a year and do the exams you have to do and apply somewhere else. Anywhere just please don't go here.

There were a couple of good teachers there. Samuel O. Idowu is the best teacher I have had. You learn so much listening to him and I wish everyone was like him.

To sum up. Don't bother going here, they will take your money and wont give anything of value.

The London Underground, also known as "London Underground" or, for short, simply "Underground" or "The Tube", is a railway network in London, United Kingdom, which serves most of Greater London (Greater). London) and sections of Essex, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. The original metro section is the oldest in the history of urban railways, as it began operating on January 10, 1863 [1] (according to other sources on January 9, 1863) [2]. It was also the first electric metro in the world (1890).

Today the metro has a network with a total length of 402 km (45% of which is underground) and 270 stations. The average speed of the trains is 33 km / h, each train travels 184,269 km per year.

I have only been at London Met for a week and have felt truly welcomed!!. The teaching staff and the other students have been extremely friendly and helpful. A real sense of community can be felt here.

I went to this university in 2002 and, honestly, it was one of the worst experiences in my life. I hated going there and lectures were bad. Some of the staff were rude and most were unhelpful. I studied BSc computer science and couldn't get a job anywhere with the degree. The course omits essentials to computer science leaving them as options or diluting them to a very simplified and incomplete version, such as data structures and algorithms. Many of the basics weren't even taught to us and so a computer science degree from this place is useless. Trust me, you will not be able to compete for computer-related jobs as your skills, knowledge and understanding will be woefully insufficient. I recommend anyone contemplating coming here to not do so, even if no other uni accepts them. WORST UNI EVER!

Realy bad, very messy, teachers don't care and unprofessional. Not helpful, I wish I did go there. NEVER EVER enrol with them unless they uplift their standards. There some good teachers but very few tiny amount 5% or less. Teachers don't care if you succeed or find a job. Stay away from their computer courses, masters and any PhD course. They are Realy good at selling the courses but in reality totally different and nightmares. Once they take the money you are in a loop. Teachers pretend to be knowledgeable but in reality they have no idea how life works. Good luck to all and stay away from met uni.

Went for an open day and was surprised at how disappointing it was. Looks like a run down council building rather than a university. Even the guide we had said she didn't enjoy studying there and moved to another uni. What a joke.
