ABOUT US

Transforming Lives Through Excellent Education_

London Met is an extraordinary institution. Equity and social inclusion have
always been our driving principles, and it's what makes the University so
unique. Our organisation is distinctive, both in its eclectic and diverse
community of students and staff, and also for its historical role in serving
some of London's most deprived boroughs. Everything we do is
underpinned by our philosophy that an individual should have the
opportunity to transform their life through the power of education.

Equipping our students with the tools for their future is at the heart of our
academic offering. We pride ourselves on providing our students with
access to a wealth of opportunities and professions. Our graduates benefit
personally, but also contribute their unique perspectives to society, culture,
public service and the economy in all areas of London, the UK and around
the world.
The Careers and Employability Service offers support to students from
the outset in their preparation for life after university. We provide
professional and impartial information, advice and guidance drawing on
the experience and expertise of a high calibre team working in close
collaboration with academic departments and employers. Our aim is to
improve the employability of our students to enable them to fulfil their
individual potential. We recognise the diverse nature of our client
group, and a wide range of approaches are used to acknowledge and
reflect this.
