Living the London life

Our campuses are at the heart of one of the world’s most exciting cities. You will be spoilt for choice with places to go and things to do. World-class theatre, music, art and food are right on your doorstep. Here are some of the highlights from across the capital.

Night owls and music buffs couldn’t be better situated for clubs and music venues. Take in an acoustic gig in the beautiful Union Chapel or strut your stuff on one of Piccadilly Institute’s many dance floors.

Holloway

Feast your eyes on the beautiful blooms of Columbia Road flower market and take a stroll down memory lane at the Museum of Childhood.

Holloway is home to our biggest campus and, for the footie fans among you, Arsenal Football Club! It’s also a stone’s throw from the trendy buzz of Upper Street and the traditional splendour of Highgate. Here you can browse for bargains in the Nag’s Head Market or vintage finds at Ooh La La. Then enjoy a bite to eat in one of a great variety of restaurants, anything from Bolivian to burgers, followed by the latest blockbuster at your local Odeon. Theatre buffs will enjoy the proximity to the Almeida, Pleasance and King’s Head Theatres. Don’t forget to claim your student discount! Art house cinemas and boutique shops are plentiful on nearby Upper Street.

Aldgate and the City

Aldgate and the City, currently home to our business school and art, architecture and design school, The Cass, is where you’ll find the historical Petticoat Lane market, the Whitechapel Gallery and the many coffee shops and restaurants of Brick Lane. Nearby you can take a tour of the fascinating Tower of London, ogle the Crown Jewels or gaze up at the Gherkin.

Stroll around the stalls of Guildhall Yard Market and settle down for an open-air film screening or be awe-inspired by the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral. The nearby Barbican Centre contains theatres and concert spaces, cinemas, restaurants and galleries. Its tropical rooftop conservatory is one of London’s hidden gems. If handling the gold bars at the Bank of England Museum puts you in a decadent mood, then head up to the forty-second floor of the Heron Tower for one of the City’s best views. History enthusiasts can literally step back in time in Dennis Severs’s eerily atmospheric house and then blow the cobwebs away by climbing up The Monument’s 311 steps.

London for free

Finding fun things to do in London needn’t be expensive. In fact, there are lots of fascinating places to visit for free! Here are just 10 suggestions. 1. Natural History Museum From the T-Rex to the Dodo, if it walked the Earth, it’s probably here. 2. Sir John Soane’s Museum Join the candlelit tour for a peek around this magical house. 3. Grant Museum of Zoology Marvel at jars of moles and bottled badgers! 4. Street Art London’s streets are a living gallery and our campuses are situated right by some of the best examples, including works by guerrilla artist Banksy. 5. Did you know there are Pelicans in St James’s Park? Well there are and they have their lunch at 2.30pm if you fancy paying them a visit.

6. The British Library Feast your eyes on literary treasures, including the Magna Carta and lyrics by The Beatles. 7. The National Portrait Gallery Get up close and personal with kings, queens, musicians and film stars. 8. Students of The Royal College of Music concerts Take the rush out of rush hour and listen to some of our next great classical musicians perform for free across London. 9. Angel Comedy Club Have a giggle at one of its nightly shows. 10. British Museum Be bowled over by the Egyptian mummies and the Rosetta Stone.

One Campus, One Community

We’re investing in a multimillion pound transformation of our Islington campus that will bring all of our courses together into one location. Entitled One Campus, One Community, the project will bring a host of exciting changes, including the refurbishment of our current buildings, the creation of new ones and an investment in technology and resources to improve your learning experience and create an even better sense of community for our diverse students.

The benefits of our new campus As part of our Islington community, students will benefit from: • improved study and social spaces • new and updated facilities • state-of-the-art technology • a vibrant and cohesive university • opportunities for joint initiatives and exciting possibilities for activities outside of your subject Work is already underway on several new teaching and learning spaces, which will include a vibrant four-storey learning hub with 25 dynamic teaching spaces, a variety of social learning environments and an exciting new café. These new spaces will be equipped with the latest teaching technology and designed with modern configurable furniture to facilitate flexible group work activity, independent study and the wide variety of teaching styles we have here at London Met.

Our brand new Roding Building hosts three floors of state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities and features new classrooms with Nureva Span technology, which sees a virtual canvas projected on to a wall and made accessible from every handheld device in the room. There are also plans to create a large and vibrant courtyard at the heart of the campus, which will become one of the largest open spaces in the borough and be able to host open-air events such as theatre performances and concerts. The courtyard will be designed by renowned landscape architecture practice Gustafson Porter + Bowman, whose work includes the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in London’s Hyde Park.

Staff and students from our art, architecture and design school, The Cass, will be involved in enhancing the creative and vibrant environment at our Islington campus and engaging with the community that surrounds us. Our business and law school will be able to share its expertise and provide commercial perspectives to courses in other areas, engaging directly with students on work-based projects, mentoring, work shadowing and internships. Our art, architecture and design courses are currently taught in Aldgate and our business and law courses in Moorgate. Teaching has already begun to move to Islington, but many courses will continue to be taught at our Aldgate and Moorgate sites until at least 2019.

Fees and funding

According to government figures, the average lifetime income gain for university graduates is between £170,000 and £252,000.

Tuition fees Fees for all London Met courses beginning in the 2019–20 academic year are currently subject to government approval under the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). At the time of publication, fees are currently capped at £9,250 per year for UK/EU students. The government has announced a review of undergraduate tuition fees and funding due in autumn 2018 when we’ll be able to confirm our tuition fees for the 2019–20 academic year. EU student fees are also dependent on the future of the UK’s membership of the European Union.

Student loans Full-time UK and EU students can currently apply to Student Finance for a loan to cover their tuition fees.

Architecture and Interior Design Extended Degree (with Foundation Year) BA (Hons)

Start your degree with a foundation year to help gain the skills you need to begin a traditional undergraduate degree.

This extended degree includes an intensive foundation year (Year 0), which will allow you to progress on to one of our architecture or interior design undergraduate degree courses at The Cass. It is both preparatory and diagnostic, meaning you’ll gain the skills required for your subsequent three years of study as well as giving you the opportunity to explore a number of different directions before choosing your specialism at the end of the year.

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. If you’re studying full-time, it will take a total of four years to complete your extended degree. Extended degrees are also an opportunity for career changers who have academic qualifications at or above the extended degree entry requirements but little or no experience of the area they wish to study. In addition to extended degrees we also offer a number of foundations degrees. 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. Most of our foundation degrees are taught at our partner institutions, City and Islington College, Hackney Community College and Montessori Centre International.

Material and Visual Culture BA (Hons)

Textile Design BA (Hons)

The Material and Visual Culture BA is an innovative and interdisciplinary course that explores the objects, artefacts and images with which we surround ourselves and we use to shape our identities, both cultural and personal. Unlike most courses that explore art or visual culture, this course does not privilege any one class or quality of artefact over another – any object from a painting or a dress, to a postcard or a teacup, can reveal valuable insights into society and its cultures. Also, and uniquely, the course invites you to work with objects that you have made, or own, or have borrowed or identified in archives and collections, to reveal the different qualities or meanings they may have. The degree draws on the strengths of teaching staff from across The Cass and its wide circle of cultural contacts and collaborators.

This degree course will introduce you to a professional career in textiles. As a textiles student you’ll acquire the technical skills for textile processes and experiment with non-traditional approaches, enabling you to design interiors, clothing and accessories. You’ll have numerous opportunities to enter competitions, visit industry and trade shows and exhibit your work. Some of our previous students have undertaken work placements at Alexander McQueen, Monsoon, Beyond Retro and the British Museum.

Samuel Eyles Fine Art BA

Artist Samuel Eyles studied London Met’s Fine Art BA. With access to state-of-the-art studios and first-class lecturers, he was able to find his own unique style and build up a body of work that is already making an impact in the art world. As well as exhibiting at numerous fairs and exhibitions, Samuel has had his work featured in The Guardian – opportunities that are no doubt paving the way for his continued success. I chose to study at London Met because it was running an extended degree with a fasttrack foundation year starting in February, which was perfect timing for me (I’d decided I wanted to go back to education in January) – plus I was living in Limehouse at the time, so the location was ideal. The facilities are very good and they were able to aid me in every area of my practice. The relationships across the different departments are strong and everybody is friendly and happy to help. There were also opportunities to engage with industry professionals and enter competitions. I was impressed.

I took so much from my time at The Cass; the lecturers are incredibly engaged, the weeks are very focused and the studio sizes are fantastic. This is something that I know is lacking at a lot of other art schools. I also learnt a great deal about my field through carefully crafted seminars and I was able to develop and evolve my style with excellent guidance and clarity. In the first year my good friend and fellow student James Johnston and I organised a life-drawing class for students to participate in every week. It was a good opportunity to gain experience in running a class (as we both had aspirations of teaching at the time) and also to improve upon technique and better our skills. The next stage of my career will be to enrol on a master’s degree. This will enable me to achieve more notoriety within the art world and evolve my practice.

Interested in studying our Fine Art BA? Read more on page 76.

What I loved most about the BA course was the completely diverse collection of people on it, especially in terms of age. I also loved the tutors and the teaching style and during my time studying made strong connections and built important relationships. These are of course beneficial in both life and particularly in my career. The way in which the studios operated was also very fresh and exciting and I loved the variety that was offered in terms of crosscritique and studio themes. 87

Natalie Lewkowicz Advertising, Marketing Communications and Public Relations BA Natalie Lewkowicz graduated with a BA in Advertising, Marketing Communications and Public Relations from London Met. After graduating she took up the role of Marketing Assistant at the University as part of London Met’s graduate internship scheme. Since then she’s gained two soughtafter digital marketing roles and currently works as a Digital Marketing Executive in the City. My A level choices were English Literature, Psychology, Art and Design, and Photography. I was originally aiming to do Animation at the University of Lincoln with a gap year, but I changed my mind because advertising was where I wanted to be. After a long, hard search, London Met appealed to me – a decision I have never regretted. I feel I had the right balance of support and independence throughout my studies. Having access to Weblearn was very helpful. Weblearn is where lecturers’ notes and class presentations are regularly updated and accessible before lectures and seminars. This was amazing for class preparation and studying for exams.

I found the Marketing Assistant post through London Met’s employment service, which I signed up for after graduating. The London Met careers service is very successful and extremely helpful – full of opportunities inside and outside of the University. The internship programme is an initiative that enables graduates like me to get their foot in the door and really experience what it’s like to work for a big organisation. The competition is huge – I was even competing against my friends! There were many experiences and skills that I gained throughout my internship, from improving my organisational skills to increasing my creativity. Even after a few months the internship felt like an amazing stepping stone for me – it helped me to build an incredibly strong CV. I think everything about London is amazing and truly has made my time at university better. My friend and I both moved down and we now live together, so my social life is very busy and exciting, with our to-do list forever growing even after all this time. I enjoy being busy and out of the house, exploring and seeing things. Sometimes London is a lot more than just cocktails and shopping.

Winter Milek Games Animation, Modelling and Effects BSc Winter Milek is originally from the United States but moved to the British capital to study London Met’s Games Modelling, Animation and Effects BSc. Once here Winter immersed herself in her course and even established a society that now has more than 300 members. I’m from California, near Anaheim. I lived in Austria for a while after high school but moved to London specifically for the course I’m on. It was a brilliant choice – I am absolutely loving my time in London and at London Met. One of my favourite aspects of the course is that it’s hands-on. The entire course is project-based – not exams and not theorybased. London Met’s course is designed to simulate an actual games studio, and we work with other courses to get as realistic an idea as possible as to how an actual professional games company works. I think this gives us a huge advantage – and we can also pick our own projects and explore what we’re interested in individually. In our final year we have a work placement and a final project that often takes the form of paid internships in our field. Even for first and second years there are a lot of opportunities for work experience. In my first year I was invited to three different games competitions, which led to some invaluable networking. Now in my second year we’ve been invited to VFX, various international GameJams and competitions, and a rising star programme for paid internships. Nigel and Fiona, the two tutors who run our course, really go all out to get us work experience and get us prepared to head right into jobs on graduation.

Most of my socialising at university comes from a society that I’m the president of. I run GTSF, the Games, Tabletop, Sci-fi and Fantasy society, at London Met. This is the Society’s first full year but we already have over 300 members. This month we’re holding video-game competitions, next month we have a tabletop company coming to play mecha D&D with us, and later in the year we’re going paintballing. We have a lot of fun and work with other societies to try to involve as many London Met students as we can. We’re hoping to work with the Sports Society to start an official London Met Quidditch team soon. After I graduate I’m hoping to continue on to a PhD in animation at London Met, but after that I would like to work (we’re talking dream job here) for Lego, designing models for their video-games or figures. I want to be a part of creating the games I love to play. If I were to offer advice about studying at London Met, I’d say don’t be afraid to talk to your course leaders or tutors about issues you may have. The tutors at London Met really care about students who try hard and they will help you inside of class and out. If you ever have any problems, London Met’s STaR (Student Academic Representatives) programme is amazing and it makes real changes to the way the University is run. Here students have a voice, and we get to work with staff, not against them, to create a place to learn we’re all happy with.

Demilade Oriola Biomedical Science BSc

Demilade – Demi to his friends – is now studying a master’s degree at London Met, but his journey at the University started with a Biomedical Science BSc, an experience that ignited his interest in blood science and helped establish London Met as his second home. I loved my undergraduate degree. I had support, I made great friends – it was a great university experience. In my second year I started falling more and more in love with advanced blood science and I decided I’d like to study a master’s. Throughout my studies I was able to talk to my lecturers and they were very easy to relate to. I’ve compared this to my friends’ experiences at other unis. When I told them I can just go to my lecturers’ offices, knock and they’ll answer my questions, they found that very strange – lecturers who were available and supportive. The lecturers here make sure we have available work placements and give us help with our CVs – they help you succeed. One of the main reasons I came to London Met was because of the superlab. Being in that lab was amazing – the amount of resources and equipment available was far superior to any other university I’d visited.

I also liked that the library had different zones for silent, quiet and general study. I can’t work in absolute silence so having the opportunity to be downstairs where there’s general noise really helped me. I’ve managed to get so much more work done and being able to use the study rooms was amazing. My favourite thing about studying at London Met has been the opportunities I’ve been given. It feels like a second home. I’ve met a unique group of friends who have helped me become who I am and with the help of my lecturers I’m on the path to success. Everyone is so friendly here and it’s so multicultural. I’ve met people from all walks of life and learnt a lot about different cultures. When I finish my master’s degree I’d like to work as a haematologist, specifically an immunohematologist. I’ve done a lot of research and the more I read the more fascinated I am by it. I want to make an impact on people’s lives and, most importantly, I want to make my mum proud.

Social professions

Suzanne Burley Head of the School of Social Professions and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor Suzanne Burley is the Head of London Met’s School of Social Professions and Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor. She has achieved a great deal during her career, having written her own book and having much of her work published, but for Suzanne nothing comes close to the rewarding feeling of seeing students achieve. Having started off as a secondary school teacher, Suzanne knows exactly what it takes to inspire and prepare students for their futures. I started life as a secondary school teacher and taught English, media and drama. I began my teaching career in Tottenham and then moved to Hackney, before moving to Enfield, so I’ve always taught and worked with young people in London schools. I wanted to go into teacher training and that’s why I came to London Met – to train secondary school English teachers. My experience of working in secondary education state schools has been absolutely crucial to my ability to work at a university because you have an understanding of where a lot of our students are coming from. A lot of them have come from the communities that are represented in the schools. All of my experience teaching in secondary schools and at the University is supporting me in my role as Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor where I am currently engaged in developing a learning, teaching and assessment framework for the University.

My overall aim for the School of Social Professions is that we become a provider of choice [London Met has already been chosen as the “preferred provider” of social work by five local authorities]. I want staff to work together in the School so that people can develop and learn good practice from each other. I want to focus on the common element that we are engaged in working with people to become practitioners in a particular profession. It’s about collaboration around a particular objective, which is about providing for our London community. Another personal achievement is the satisfaction of seeing people I’ve taught go on to succeed. I’m constantly getting reminders of that. Seeing that I’ve had an impact on people’s lives and developing those personal relationships is a big achievement for me. I like the people at London Met. I enjoy the student body. I enjoy the diversity. I enjoy the fact that it’s in London. It’s an urban edgy environment and I love that. It’s also a reasonable distance from where I live. It’s part of my community.

Social sciences

Andrew Moran International Relations course leader Andrew Moran is the course leader for London Met’s International Relations BA and International Relations and Law BA. Back in 1993, he also studied for a PhD at the University, when his studies took him to the United States of America, where he visited the presidential library and interviewed President Gerald Ford and key members of his administration. I came here in 1993 and did a PhD in American political history. I covered the 1970s, economic policy and presidential politics. I was then offered a teaching post in American politics. I progressed from there into American foreign policy and then international relations, when we created the International Relations degree. I was part of the teaching team at undergraduate level and then became the course leader. I was the first in my family to go to university. I grew up in a single parent family in industrial Manchester. We were very working class, we didn’t have much money but somehow in my school year there were three us who went to university, which was incredibly unusual for my school. I did a foundation year – what we would call an extended degree – at Keele, and that’s exactly what I needed. I teach on the extended degree here and I say to my students I think what you’re doing is absolutely perfect because it’s training you to be a student, so when you start the three years of your actual degree you’re up and running.

I left Keele and I worked for charities such as Great Ormond Street and WaterAid, both of which helped shape the way I view the world. When I was a PhD student I taught in universities across London. The students at other universities aren’t like the students here. The students here are extraordinary – they’re diverse, they come from all sorts of socioeconomic backgrounds, there’s an incredibly broad range of opinions, everybody challenges everybody else, everybody learns from everybody else – including me – and it’s incredibly rewarding. We have students who go on to work at really interesting places. I’ve had students who have gone on to work for the Cabinet Office, for the UN and in the media. They come here and we give them something that they don’t get anywhere else. I had an Estonian student who graduated last year and she came to see me just before she left and she said: “When I came here I used to sit in the classroom at the back like a squashed, dry lemon and I was frightened to say things.” Now she’s talking at conferences in Paris and elsewhere as part of Estonia’s EU citizenship programme. We get some extraordinary people here at London Met, we help them change their lives and they go and change other people’s lives. I think that’s incredible.
