At the University of East London, we combine traditional face-to-face on campus teaching with cutting-edge technology. We call this Technology Enhanced Active Learning (TEAL).

Courses for careers

Your career is our priority. We collaborate with employers and industry to create degree programmes that prepare you for the world of work.

We also focus on developing the complete individual - with the knowledge, confidence and life skills needed in your future career. We do this by including a Professional Fitness and Mental Wealth module in every course. This ensures you'll take the first (or next) step in your career with experiences behind you to prepare you for what's ahead.

We've invested millions in making our campuses perfect for people like you. You'll learn in technology-rich campus and facilities, from specialist labs to classrooms with simulations, AR/VR, online quizzes and the provision of virtual learning materials such as e-books.
