How to Visit or Get to Know London Metropolitan University

Updated

You can get to know London Met in three main ways: attend an undergraduate open day (bookable through the site), search courses directly by level or subject area, and note that entry points are offered in both January and September 2027. These routes suit prospective students who want to see the campus and community before deciding whether to apply.

Attend an open day

The site lists undergraduate open days as a way to visit in person, with a "Book now" option. Open days are presented as a chance to experience the university community directly rather than only reading about it.

If you are considering undergraduate study, this is the most concrete visit option named on the page. Booking is handled through the site, so you can reserve a place rather than simply turning up.

Search for a course first

If you are not yet sure what to study, the site offers a course search that lets you browse all courses, or narrow by level and subject:

  • All courses
  • Undergraduate
  • Postgraduate
  • Short course
  • Browse by subject area

Starting with the subject-area view is useful if you know your field but not the specific qualification. Starting with the level view (undergraduate, postgraduate, short course) is useful if your study level is fixed but your subject is open.

Check your start date

London Met states you can study in January or September 2027, and frames the January option as "you don't need to wait." If your plans depend on a specific intake, confirm the course you want is offered at that point before building a timeline around it.

What to weigh when deciding

What you want to find out Where to start
What the campus and community feel like Book an undergraduate open day
Which courses exist in your subject Browse courses by subject area
Which level fits you Search by undergraduate, postgraduate or short course
Whether you can start sooner Check the January 2027 intake

The page also highlights that London Met was ranked first in the UK for student value added in the Guardian University Guide 2026, and was runner-up for University of the Year for Social Inclusion in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026. If teaching impact or social inclusion matters to your choice, these are points to raise or look into further during a visit.

Practical next steps

  1. Decide whether you are exploring by subject or by study level.
  2. Use the course search to build a shortlist.
  3. Book an open day if you want to visit before applying.
  4. Confirm your intended intake (January or September 2027) against your shortlisted courses.

The site does not state open day dates, locations or any cost in the material available here, so check the booking page for those details before you plan travel.
