But we never take our location for granted!

• We offer you careers advice to ensure you get the best support to move your career forward…

• We help you find work experience opportunities with impressive organisations…

• We help you develop that tiny seed of an initial idea into your very own thriving business…

• We provide opportunities for you to meet mentors – experts in the line of work you’re pursuing – who can coach you and offer advice for your next career steps…

Whatever you want to do, we’re here to take you – and help you – on that journey.

Don’t take our word for it... meet some of the students we’ve already helped get there…

Tunde Okewale took a law course with us and now works as an international human rights barrister. He was awarded an MBE in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to the community and disadvantaged young people. Tunde has given talks to our law students and was delighted to open London Met’s new mock courtroom in 2019.

Having worked as a producer, presenter and director, Jade Angeles Fitton embarked on our Creative, Digital and Professional Writing MA – having decided that she wanted to write for a living. It’s already paying off.

“London Met were willing to take me on based on my writing experience and career, rather than just saying, ‘No, you don’t have a BA, therefore you can’t do this.’ I thought that was quite radical. A piece I came up with on the course was recently published in the New Statesman.”

Parkour and integrative therapy is proving a powerful combination for art du déplacement therapist Kasturi Torchia.

“Doing my master’s and PhD here made me connect with the community a lot more than I would have at a different university. The outreach work I did here was really helpful and I try to integrate that with the work I do now. The initiative and autonomy I developed were useful – it allowed me to sit in board meetings with people who would have intimidated me if I hadn’t done the course.”

Many of our graduates are working for top employers including:

African Development Bank Age UK Alexander McQueen Allianz Amazon Arsenal Football Club Arts Council England Aviva Bank of England Barclays Bank BBC British Airways British Council British Museum Canadian Embassy Coca Cola Deloitte Department of International Trade Dolce & Gabbana Edelman Emirates Ernst & Young GlaxoSmithKline Google Great Ormond Street Hospital Hugo Boss Institute of Cancer Research J.
