London Metropolitan University Facts
London Metropolitan University (LMU) was formed in 2002 from the merger of the University of North London and London Guildhall University.
The university’s “superlab” has more than 280 workstations, with additional specialist laboratories for fields including sport science, phlebotomy and virology. Media students have the opportunity to work in a newsroom with its own radio station, while law students have access to a mock courtroom.
LMU’s two other faculties each has a location that reflects its specialism in teaching. Art, design, and architecture students are based at the Sir John Cass faculty in east London – a hub for brand name and independent designers, with the trendy markets and cafes of Shoreditch on its doorstep.
Business and management students are based at Moorgate, in the City of London.
