5 reasons to study in London

London is one of the hottest spots for students right now. If studying in one of the biggest/most popular cities in the world isn’t enough to persuade you, we thought we would compile a list of some of the top reasons why studying in London at one of our two campuses could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

1. You’ll never be bored

If it’s the city lifestyle you’re after then London has it. There are over 7000 bars and pubs, over 5000 restaurants and incredibly for one city, over 350 music venues! Living on a student budget can be hard, especially in a big city, however there’s plenty to do when you’re watching your bank balance; think coffee shops, exercise clubs or taking time out of your busy schedule to enjoy one of the many leafy parks.

One of the most valuable things you can collect during your time at university is contacts in your chosen field. Studying in London will give you the opportunity to meet a wide range of professionals, both on your course and in your chosen field.
