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 School of Art, Architecture and Design (AAD) at London Met is
internationally recognised for its high-quality teaching, excellent
facilities and unique interdisciplinary opportunities.
Learning through practice, playing with process and working with
clients, students at AAD gain real world experience in both individual
and collaborative projects, engaging with professionals, communities and
companies.
There is a strong emphasis in our studios on socially engaged
architecture, art and design applied to both local and global contexts,
and many projects focus on London. Our central London location also
gives easy access to the creative and cultural hub which surrounds the
Aldgate campus.
