An Inclusive And Diverse Community Of Learning​

Located in the world's most diverse city, students, academics and guest speakers are drawn from all over the world. You will be part of an inclusive community of academic experts, students, alumni, employers and business partners who come to share their talent, experience, knowledge and insight.​
 

About us

We are living in a time of rapid change. That's why we teach in a way that allows you to continually evolve as the business world changes, giving you a superb foundation in fundamental business concepts, as well as specialist professional skills, and a wider understanding of the technological, economic and environmental landscape that businesses operate in.​

Many of our courses provide an essential step towards gaining the professional accreditation you need to make a mark in your chosen field. We help you to convince employers that you have what it takes to make a positive difference.

Our flexible postgraduate courses provide specialist training that will help you update your learning, advance your career, deepen your expertise in a particular field, or completely change career direction - all while managing work, family and life commitments.

Why choose us?

    Excellent student experience

    92% overall student satisfaction for our Accounting, Finance and Economics courses according to The Guardian for 2019.

    Industry links

    Our prime location in East London's burgeoning Docklands - in the heart of London's only enterprise zone - and neighbouring the City and Canary Wharf - ensures our students are primed for a professional career at some of the capital's most advanced global companies.

    Superb facilities

    We have one of the largest Bloomberg training suites in the country. It gives you unparalleled access to the high-tech trading equipment that professionals in accounting, finance and economics use every day.

    Our Facilities

    Our campuses are located at Docklands and Stratford, embedding us in the heart of London's most energetic and rapidly changing district with new businesses - from independent start-ups to global corporations - entering the region every day. We're also on the doorstep of Canary Wharf - one of the world's most successful financial and business centres, giving you the opportunity to go on business trips, seek placements and network with global business leaders.​

    We have one of the largest Bloomberg training suites in the country, allowing you to have access to the same world-class financial trading facilities that professionals in the City of London use, so you can learn using the best resources available.​

    Engage with the Knowledge Dock which houses growing businesses and organises a range of events and activities for small businesses and the wider East London community, providing placement and internship opportunities. Our Tax and Accountancy clinic provides free advice to businesses allowing you to gain practical industry skills.​

    Our bespoke and modern campus facilities are complete with extensive 24-hour library access, ultra-modern teaching hubs, tiered lecture theatres, seminar rooms, cafes and shops. To ensure our students get the best possible support, we've opened brand-new £3.1 million Student Support Hubs.

    Our Student Support Hubs include centralised help desks as well as comfortable areas to relax and socialise. The help desks provide a 'one-stop shop' for every possible need, from course-related enquiries to personal issues such as health and money matters.​

    What we're researching

    Our research is driven by the desire to create better, more rewarding jobs and careers; a more sustainable economy and a more equitable world.

    From the impact of globalisation, Covid-19, conflict to transformational technology – our research is always innovative, reflecting the challenges of today and tomorrow. ​

    Study of  States, Markets and People (STAMP) is a major inter-disciplinary initiative in the School of Business & Law whose primary focus is the study of global and European political economy and the forms of governance and regulation required to address socio-economic/financial issues and geo-political conflicts and crises.​

    Having long studied the intensification of banking and financial crisis and the public policies of neo-liberalism and ordoliberalism resulting in many workshops and publications , STAMP's new research projects are now building new research capacity and infrastructure on five main axes:

     

    • The impact of COVID-19 on local and global economic sectors, led by Dr. Francis B. Frimpong​
    • Technology transfer in the UK's tertiary sector in the context of UK-China interaction, a research conducted by STAMP Fellow, Prof Benzhao Yang of Northwestern Polytechnic University (China)​
    • The global economic and geopolitical antagonism between the USA and China, a project completed and turned into a monograph co-authored by Dr  Shampa Roy-Mukherjee, Prof Vassilis K. Fouskas, Dr  Qingan (Angus) Huang and Dr  Ejike Udeogu (to be published by Palgrave in October 2020)​
    • A pilot project on the issue of "brain drain" in Bosnia & Herzegovina, examining outward youth migration in the volatile Republic of SRPSKA​
    • The impact of the crisis of globalisation on the transition economies of western Balkans, a collection of papers edited and peer-reviewed by Dr Shampa Roy Mukherjee and Prof Jovo Ateljevic (University of Banja Luka, BiH) for the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies (JBNES, Routledge-Taylor & Francis, 8 issues a year since 1998) - the collection will appear in print in JBNES, v.23, n.1, January 2021.

     

    STAMP researchers are also involved in research programmes related to the examination of the "gig economy" in the UK and its impact on well-being and healthy ageing. /p>

    • Noon Centre for Equality and Diversity (Prof Siraj Sait)​
    • Centre for Innovation Management and Enterprise (CIME) Dr Slawomir Raszewski​

    The network the course enables you to build is invaluable in the current employment market. The marketing industry is growing rapidly and UEL has prepared me to enter this industry confidently and successfully."
