Our outstanding campuses 

The North London University 

Our North London campus is home to some of the UK's best spaces for learning, creating and collaborating, and winner of the best university facilities in the UK (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2025). These world-class facilities put us ahead of other universities and many professional settings, including our Hollywood standard motion capture suite for animation and augmented reality teaching equipment for nursing and midwifery. We also make the most of our location – just 15 minutes travel to Camden or 25 minutes to King's Cross – with opportunities for students to expand their career prospects and discover a new social life. 

Global campuses 

Each of our global campuses is distinctive with an international reputation for excellence. We received a 5-star rating in Dubai (KHDA Higher Education Classification 2022) and we were the first UK campus university in Mauritius. We also have a location in Minzu. Our students benefit from our international outlook and opportunities as they go out into the global workplace. 

Student life and community 

Inclusive global experience 

With students from 140+ countries, our London campus is more than just a place to study – it is where community, connection, and unforgettable experiences come to life.  

We are 1st in London, 4th in the UK for Student Life (Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2025) and 21st globally for International Outlook (Times Higher Education Young University Rankings 2024). This global perspective and community opens our students’ worlds and their futures. 

Support every step of the way 

Students at the heart of our actions 

Our students feel supported, motivated and part of something bigger. We respond to the diversity of our students’ backgrounds and genuinely care about their wellbeing and success throughout their journey. This has made us 5th in the UK for listening to students and acting on feedback and 10th in the UK for overall student positivity (National Student Survey 2024). Whatever pathway through which they come to us, we empower ambitious students to succeed.
