The worst university I have ever been in. I studied Bachelor degree in Accounting in Middlesex University before I came to London Met. I decided to go for a career change and study a teaching degree. For the 2 years I been in London Met doing BE'd Early years teaching degree. I was not supported whatsoever. Any complaint that I would provide was taken in a very negative manner. Going to placements in schools was not about the trainee student teacher. It was all about how to kiss a** to the school in order for school to accept more students from the university and for the university not to loose the school. If you stand up for yourself you will be put down, and probably kicked out, which what happened to me. I would not recommend this University for anyone. They are completely disorganized and lecturers don't have any knowledge or experience whatsoever. In those 2 years in London Met, I developed severe depression from the way I been treated and I am currently under medication and counselling because of the them.

The university staff are a combination of cold and careless in the event of any unforeseen personal circumstances. They treat you as if you are a nuisance for giving them work to do, and do not care to point you in the right direction or show any empathy towards your plight however valid. Of course there is the odd gem of a professor that you might take the risk for, but generally they are not qualified as actual teachers, and do not provide a service worthy of nearly £10,000 a year. Enjoy!

I have a year course at London met for which I paid about £2000. The quality of teaching is extremely poor. The course leader uses some students, whom just completed the same course last year, as qualified lecturer. They don't have any teaching qualifications and even don't have an MA.

The teachers are rude, shout at you for asking a question and are generally the most miserable people I have ever had the misfortune to be in the same room with. No wonder they are in such a bad mood - the university is simply hopeless. The rooms are badly equipped, half the labs are not open when you need them, and they can't even get their paperwork done without messing it up. Sometimes it takes more than 2 months to get an essay back, and when you do, they only have a mark for you but no feedback sheet, because they lost it - along with the essay they were supposed to give back to you. The teaching is poor, they rush through the materials and when you ask other students, they simply scratch their heads and say that they did not understand the lecture either. When it comes to doing the assignments and the students ask what they need to do, they get fobbed off by the lecturers. The drop-out rates are horrendous. Even if you did better than DDD at A level, you are not safe. London Met will grind you down. I have seen people drop out who already had degrees and had gone back to study again. If you can at all avoid this place, don't waste your time and £9k a year here.

I have read mixed reviews about London Met before I started my degree there and wanted to see what the place really is all about. The university has modernised some buildings and has a good reputation on some of its courses. After three years of studying at London Met I can say that this is probably the worse university ever! The place should not even be called a university! Half of the lecturers don't speak enough English teach or articulate their ideas. At last 80% of students don't speak enough English to write essays or participate in discussions. The clubs and societies at the university are either born-again Nigerian / African Christian or Muslim - nothing wrong with religion, but this place is a breeding ground for radicals of either conviction. Teachers love giving their religious opinions on all kinds of topics and subjects, making this university heavily prejudice. Even worse, sometimes teachers don't show up for classes. People give out Islamist literature and try to convert you into becoming Muslim or born again Christian. There is no learning going on at this place at all! I have seen community colleges in lesser developed areas of England who have higher standards of learning and teaching. Projects and assessments are dumbed-down to make sure people who don't speak enough English can get a UK degree. The university fosters under-preformance and encourages students to stay lazy and dumb. There is a handful of brilliant lecturers who probably ruined their career by staying at this place. The school has increased its tuition fees and now there is an even bigger gap when it comes to value for money. They over-charge for under-performance. The whole place is appalling. Nobody should ever ever EVER study there. The place is completely delusional. It's should not be called a UK University. Thinking about studying there? Run away as fast as you can and never look back!

I had a great time there

I couldn't even begin to tell you how much I hated this university, I advise everyone to visit this university if you are EVER considering applying especially North Campus where I was studying, I remember my first day I actually cried, the tutors are not helpful, the students are all maturer and I was studying media studies at ladbroke house (closing down this year) and our lecturers didn't have no windows at all. Its just making me mad thinking about it now, luckily i got transferred to Brunel (Amazing). Goodluck to those who are there and for those of you considering this, please I STRONGLY Advise you go see the university before making your final decision.

I was super scared reading about the revciews .But unfortunately all my options were out and studyinG in London met was my last resort. me and my flat mate who studies in westminster (has paid way more than me ) often compare. I agree to some reviews , I agree its not perfect . I have just managed fine .I am extremely pleased with Tutors . Not All but most . They are fine teachers . The facilities is enough . Not as grand as other university . I definetely have more classes than my westminster friend. we are doing same course. The It labs are there . The only problem lab is not open 24 /7 . Again I would say not bad . And there are like loads of students .

London Metropolitan University, especially the Business school, is to my opinion, amongst the top UK ranking universities.

Judging it by the above criteria, the IT Facilities are just brilliant, with an enormous number of modern computers, screens and televisions available for all students. The Bloomberg Terminals is my favourite part - as they are a source of highly professional information - finance/economics/accounting... knowing how to use them is a great advantage for gaining "A"s on your courseworks' and for future career opportunities.

The Library Facilities every year get the substantial number of volumes in every field; personally, I have always found what I need. Last year the university invested significantly in transforming the library facilities in both Campuses.

Nightlife - well the university is based in the heart of London, especially the City Campus - I have not heard anyone complaining of lack of awesome places to celebrate. It is quite common thing to meet traders and financial services professionals in cafes and pubs nearby and have a chat.

The Societies and Clubs - to my knowledge - there are around 15-20 societies - I am a member of the Investment, participated originally in the Music one too. We run a real-money Investment Fund, meet every week and discuss what is happening in the financial world, invite highly recognised speakers and attend various seminars and lectures - particularly in the Bloomberg headquarters - 5 minutes walk from the Moorgate building.

Value for money - highly worth the money. There are so many things to benefit and learn from. Professional lecturers (high number of them writes and contributors), modern IT facilities and regularly up-to-dated Library facilities; a number of Societies to have entertainment and expand your knowledge.

I highly recommend it for higher education.

nice university... there is no place which is perfect amd other than this lmu is having more than 35,000 students.. whatever anyone say this proves that its not that bad university... may be someone have got some bad experiences but its not possible to have all the experiences which are bad... it means you have got some problem...

I did my first degree in Computing. I had some fantastic lecturers and some were awful as well. I put a lot of effort and managed to get a very god result. I came back in 2008-2009 to do a master degree at the University and I must say i was impressed by how good some lecturers were. I had my best year at the Uni and really grateful to some wonderful lecturers namely QiCheng Yu and Bob Righby who were a class above. I would certainly recommend London Metropolitan University.

I am very happy that i studied there and now have a better job. Wish you all the best...

Wasn't at all bad as London Guildhall I gather. Was effectively sold out to the dreadful University of North London and became London Metropolitan a few years back. The Holloway Road (North) campus is dire and frankly unsafe even in daylight. Administration is pretty bad and the 'university' (I use the term rather loosely) is run and managed by a thoroughly inept senior group of people who many seem to think need replacing before the place can improve at all (also, there has been a scandal about dodgy student figures submitted to the Government and a huge sum has to be paid back apparently). There are some good lecturers trapped in the place but generally you would have to be desperate to apply for a course there. Not recommended - avoid!

Judging from the current comments nothing has changed there much. I attended when it was called Guildhall University (an ex Poly) and completed some law courses. They were dreadful. I heard that the Chancellor at that time (and he remained for many years) was notorious and refused to partake in independant assessments of the courses.

Do not go there! especially for law.....

Just no! not the one you looking for. It has not even accredited from IET, ofcourse the computing faculty.

So expensive for what i'm receiving, just few hour of class,,
