London
A large city, with many universities and a cost of living worth calculating first.
We do not run campuses and we do not present university partnerships. The descriptions are general.
Why people consider the city
London attracts people because of the range of courses and a wide job market. It is not automatically the best choice. Distances are long, and rent can change the budget, especially if you are working or moving for university.
Transport and day-to-day life
The city has an extensive underground, rail and bus network. A course may be far from the neighbourhood you live in. Check the actual campus, not only the city name.
The study environment
There are universities in several parts of the city, with different characters. We do not run campuses and we do not present partnerships. We compare public options, then you confirm with the institution.
The career environment
London concentrates employers in finance, technology, creative work, health and services. A course in the city does not reserve you a job. It can give you more conversations to have.
Things to weigh
- The cost of housing, not only the tuition fee
- The commute to campus
- Whether you can work at the same time as studying
- Where teaching happens, not only where the university’s main site is
