The new campus, just minutes from Camden, Dalston, Shoreditch and the City of London, will benefit from a £125 million investment and see all of our students brought together for the first time in our 170-year history.

What types of degree are there?

There are a number of different types of course you can study as a first degree. Factors that determine which one you study include what grades or qualifications you have, what you want to get out of your degree and how long you want to study for. Here’s a rundown of the types of degree course we offer to those looking to study at university for the first time: What’s the most popular first degree? An undergraduate course (known as a bachelor’s degree) is usually the first degree you’ll apply for and normally takes three years to complete. You’ll graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Sciences (BSc) or Engineering (BEng), depending on your choice of subject. The basic building blocks of an undergraduate degree are modules. Each module is usually worth either 30 or 15 credits and an honours degree is awarded to students who achieve 360 credits. You’ll study some core modules, which are compulsory, and some option modules, which you can choose according to your own interests. What is an extended degree? If you don’t have traditional qualifications or can’t meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate degree, you may still be able to gain entry by completing an extended degree. Extended degrees include Year 0, also known as a foundation year. Once you successfully complete your first year of study you’ll progress into Year 1 of an undergraduate degree. Therefore, if you’re studying full-time, it will take a total of four years to complete your extended degree.

What other foundation degrees are there? A foundation degree (FdA/FdSc) is a vocational qualification that is the equivalent of two thirds of a full honours degree. You’ll be able to gain professional and technical skills to further your career in a shorter time frame than a full degree. We offer foundation degrees in subjects including Dance (page 65), Digital Media Design (page 102), Furniture (page 59), Early Childhood Studies (page 135), Education (page 137), Early Childhood Practice (page 139) and Working with Older People (page 144). Most of our foundation degrees are taught at our partner institutions, City and Islington College, Hackney Community College, Lambeth College and Montessori Centre International.

“ My communication, organisation and reading skills have all improved. At first it was challenging, but as I progressed through the course I was able to face my challenges and overcome them with the help of my lecturers.” Extended degree student

What are my career prospects?

One of the things that sets London Met apart from many other universities across London and the UK is our focus on employability. The 2014–15 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey found that 93% of all our graduates were in work or further study within six months. We’re here to help you on your way to a successful and rewarding career: What careers advice do you offer? We want your London Met journey to end in employment, which is why we offer comprehensive careers advice to help you reach your goals. As well as giving you access to a wealth of information online, including insider tips on how to use social media to your advantage and useful websites where you can start your job search, we also offer: • one-to-one meetings with our careers consultants for personalised advice and support • a mentoring scheme that puts you in touch with a career mentor from your chosen employment sector – this has proved extremely valuable for many of our graduates •a vibrant volunteering programme that can provide you with experience in community-based organisations and give your CV a boost What if I’m an international student? As an international student, you’re welcome to access all of the resources offered by our careers team. You can also attend workshops focused on working in the UK after graduation.

Are there work experience opportunities? Absolutely! All our undergraduate students are guaranteed a work-based learning opportunity, which counts towards your studies. This often comes in the form of a work placement module and will give you practical knowledge and skills that you can take with you into the workplace. Can I earn while I learn? There are plenty of job opportunities available on campus – and these are offered to our students first. We have an in-house temping agency that advertises jobs on campus and you can also apply for a role as a student ambassador or success coach. All of these positions are paid the London Living Wage and are a great way of earning a bit of extra cash while you study. Do you offer internships? We do – and lots of them. Through our graduate internship programme we offer approximately 30 paid internships across our University departments every year. You could be making videos, championing sustainability, writing press releases or working on something else entirely. Our interns have gone on to work at organisations such as Google and Nickelodeon. It’s the perfect opportunity to get your foot on that all-important career ladder. What company connections do you have? We maintain strong industry links to ensure you have access to employers throughout your studies. In the past, we’ve welcomed speakers from companies including Apple, O2, the MOBO Awards, Emirates Airlines and The Guardian. Many of our courses are also accredited by professional bodies, giving your qualification extra weight.

14 What are my career prospects?

What if I want to set up my own business? Starting a business when you finish university is a great way to take control of your future – and our business incubator, Accelerator, will provide you with all the advice, support, networks, knowledge and resources you need to get started. Based off-campus in the heart of London’s Tech City in Shoreditch, Accelerator has helped to launch student businesses including Arctic Power Berries, Melting Pot LDN, Dottore London, Young Pro Magazine and Dancing After School. What exactly does Accelerator offer? There are a number of Accelerator initiatives you can get involved with throughout the year. They include: • Launchpad – Delivered in one-day sprints over 10 intensive weeks from June to September, Launchpad gives passionate students and graduates the knowledge, tools and support needed to fast-track an idea into a viable start-up venture. • The Big Idea Challenge – This idea and pitching competition sees students compete for prizes across three categories (Commercial, Social Impact and Creative). • Market Days – Here students can gain real world experience selling their own products at a busy London market.

Can you tell me about fees and funding?

How much are tuition fees? Tuition fees for university courses are currently subject to government approval under the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). This means that the annual tuition fee for students enrolling in autumn 2018 may not be finalised until spring 2018. We expect our tuition fee will be around £9,500 per year for both new and returning home and EU students studying in 2018–19. Fees for returning students may change each year by an amount also set under the government’s regulation.

Some universities will offer you free books or a tablet, but here at London Met you could get cash towards your studies, so you can make those all-important spending decisions yourself.

EU student fees may be subject to change depending on the future of the UK’s membership of the European Union. For more information about potential course fee changes, please visit: londonmet.ac.uk/coursefeechanges You’ll also be able to find individual course fees, including course fees for international students, on our online course pages: londonmet.ac.uk/courses For London Met courses based at our partner institutions, please check the fees with the college.

This financial help is designed to help pay for expenses such as accommodation, books and childcare.

You’ll also find information on eligibility criteria and how to apply. Can you help me earn while I learn?

32 Can you tell me about fees and funiding?

What about student loans? Student Finance England currently offers funding to home and EU students. However, the availability of this funding to EU students may change depending on the UK’s future membership of the EU. At the time of publication, full-time home/ EU students can apply to Student Finance England for a loan to cover their course tuition fees. Most full-time students will also be eligible to apply for a Maintenance Loan to help with living costs. A home/EU student studying part-time can currently apply for a tuition fee loan. Full-time students do not have to pay any of these loans back until they have finished their course and are earning £21,000 per year or more. For more information and to apply online for student finance visit: gov.uk/applyonline-for-student-finance Please note that EU students need to complete a paper-based form to apply for funding.

and an adult dependant’s grant. Find out more at: gov.uk/studentfinance Where can I get help and advice?

You can come in and see us or check our website which has financial information, loads of tips and advice as well as online budget planners and downloadable fact sheets. You can also join one of our funding workshops, which are held around the time the Student Loans Company (SLC) begins accepting applications and are geared to help all UK and EU students with a London Met offer. How do I pay? All students need to pay half their annual tuition fees on their first day – if you have a student loan, your fees are paid directly by the Student Loans Company, you just need to show proof of this when you enrol. If you are paying your own tuition fees, then after you pay the first half, the rest can be paid in instalments up to three months after your course starts, either online or in person in a range of ways. londonmet.ac.uk/payingyourfees Is it worth it in the end? UK government research shows the average lifetime income gain, after taxes, National Insurance, pension contributions and student loan repayments for a male graduate is £168,000, and for a female graduate is £252,000. So when you balance the cost of tuition fees against the higher employment and earning potential of having a degree, you can easily see how studying at university is a worthwhile investment.

166 How do I apply?

What information do I need in order to complete my online application? When completing the application form, you’ll need to have the following information at the ready: • home address • qualifications (including dates achieved, name and subject of qualification, and overall grades) • employment history • GCSE Maths and English qualifications (or equivalent) • contact details for two referees, preferably email addresses What documents do I need to provide? When you’re completing your application, you’ll be given the option to upload copies of your qualifications, a CV and any other relevant documents. Please ensure that you’ve provided the correct email address, as we will send you a confirmation email when you have successfully completed the application process. We may also need to contact you by email when assessing your application. Once we receive your application we may ask to see copies of your qualifications. This is especially important when applying for credit from previous studies. If you’re applying to us directly, you can assist us by uploading the copies with your application form. What if my qualification documents aren’t in English? If your qualifications aren’t in English, you may need to supply a translation of your documents. For advice on translation services please contact your embassy. Please remember to send copies of your qualifications, not the original documents. We will ask for original copies of your qualifications at enrolment only.

Will I need to include a personal statement? As part of your application, you will be required to complete a detailed personal statement explaining your reasons for choosing the course and your interests in the area. We look for students who can demonstrate their enthusiasm, experience and passion for the subject. When should I apply? It’s always best to apply as early as possible. Although we don’t have a specific closing date for applications, places on our courses are offered on a first-come firstserved basis. We therefore recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. If you’re applying for a full-time undergraduate or extended degree course starting in September, you should apply through UCAS before 30 June. Can I apply after 30 June? Yes, don’t worry. If you’re applying for a full-time undergraduate or extended degree course starting in September after 30 June, you can apply directly to London Met through our Clearing process. Details of how to apply via Clearing will be available on our website in the summer: londonmet.ac.uk/clearing

How can I track my application… … if I applied direct? You can view the progress of your direct application via our applicant portal. Details of this will be sent to you once we’ve received your application. We aim to make a decision within two to three working weeks of receipt of your application, although processing times may vary slightly depending on the time of year. … if I applied via UCAS? If you applied through UCAS, you can check the progress of your application and reply to offers via UCAS’s tracking service, UCAS Track. We’ll contact you via email to notify you of our decision. For courses that require an interview, application decisions may take a little longer, as will those for students seeking direct entry to the second or third year of an undergraduate course. Will I need to attend an interview? Wherever possible, we aim to make a decision based on the information provided on your application. However, you may be invited to attend an interview to discuss your application further with a tutor. I’m looking to study an art-based subject. Do you need to see my work? If you’re applying for a course at our art, architecture and design school, The Cass, you’re likely to be invited to a short interview (about 15 to 20 minutes) and asked to bring a portfolio of your work. To find out more about The Cass’s interview process, visit: londonmet.ac.uk/apply/thecass
