The University of London credits itself with innovating long-distance learning along with the close-quarters education that they have been able to provide over a near two centuries in existence.
Since 1858, the university has made it possible for students to study for degrees outside of London, spreading their efforts around the world.
They also hold strong that they have played a major influence in the introduction of modern languages and laboratory sciences to the university education system.
As such, students enrolled at the university will be a part of an institution with a history of innovation in the sphere of higher education, with the institution also being the first British university to enrol women in 1858, a time during which many women were being denied an education.
The University of London has become an umbrella term for many institutions which have gone on to share the quality education that the University of London is known for, including City St Georges, University of London, which itself traces its founding to 1894.
