What courses and study levels does London Met offer?

Updated

London Metropolitan University (London Met) offers courses at three study levels — undergraduate, postgraduate and short courses — and you can search all of them from the same course search on its website. If you already know your level, filter by it; if you don't know what to study yet, the site also lets you browse by subject area instead. The university runs two main intakes, January and September, so you don't have to wait for a single annual start date.

Study levels available

Level How to find it What to check before applying
Undergraduate Search "Undergraduate" or browse by subject area Entry requirements and whether the course includes work-related learning
Postgraduate Search "Postgraduate" Whether the course is accredited by a professional body relevant to your field
Short course Search "Short course" Format, duration and whether it fits around existing work

The course search on the homepage covers all courses, so you can start there and narrow down by level rather than visiting separate pages for each type.

If you don't know what to study

London Met provides a subject-area browse option alongside the level filters. This is the more useful entry point if you have a broad interest (for example, a field you want to work in) but not a specific course title. Browse the subject areas first, then check which levels each subject is offered at.

Work experience and accreditation

Two features are worth checking on any course page before you decide:

  • Work-related learning. All undergraduate courses include some form of work-related learning, such as a placement, a client project or on-campus work experience. The exact form varies by course, so confirm what yours involves rather than assuming a placement is guaranteed.
  • Professional accreditation. Many courses are accredited by professional bodies. Accreditation matters if you're aiming at a regulated or chartered profession, because it can affect which qualifications employers or professional registers recognise.

Intakes and open days

London Met advertises January and September intakes, with January 2027 promoted as a start point if you don't want to wait for the next September. The university also runs undergraduate open days, which are the practical way to check facilities, teaching style and entry requirements in person before applying.

A sensible order of steps

  1. Decide whether you're looking at undergraduate, postgraduate or short-course level.
  2. If you have no specific course in mind, browse by subject area first.
  3. Open individual course pages and check entry requirements, work-related learning and accreditation.
  4. Confirm the intake that suits you (January or September).
  5. Book an open day if you want to visit before committing.
