PIONEERS SINCE 1838

We started out 180 years ago as the first polytechnic in London and one of the first in the UK, established to educate the working people of London. Today we continue to build on this reputation, helping students from a variety of backgrounds to realise their full potential.

We have always strived to create offerings that respond imaginatively to the varied needs and aspirations of our diverse audiences, and we have a firm and historic commitment to equality and diversity, building an environment that is welcoming and inclusive for all our students and colleagues.
