Centre for University of London Programmes (UOL)

The London School of Economics and Political Science, better known as the LSE was founded in 1895 for the study of social science.

 
LSE has worldwide recognition as a major European centre for research and teaching not only in Economics and Business but also in all branches of social science and related fields.

In the most recent assessment of the universities' research by UK authorities, over 90% of the Schools' research was assessed in the top two categories of national and international significance.

Royal Holloway College was founded by the Victorian entrepreneur, Thomas Holloway as a college for the higher education of bright young women. Almost 100 years later, Royal Holloway merged with Bedford College, another pioneering institution founded in 1849 by Elizabeth Jesser Reid.

The colleges became part of the University of London before the turn of the century, when the University first awarded degrees to women, and both began to admit male undergraduates from 1965.

Royal Holloway enjoys an international reputation for the highest quality teaching and research across the sciences, arts and humanities.

Today, a combination of distinctive character, academic vision and membership of the University of London has established Royal Holloway amongst the top ten research-led university institutions in the country.

We at Goldsmiths College look at subjects in a creative and unconventional way, but everything we do is based on the highest academics standards of teaching and research and we have been a part of the internationally recognised University of London (UOL) for more than a century.

Our unique academic approach comes from the interaction and cooperation of fifteen (15) academic departments, together with a number of small centres and units. We offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, teacher training, short courses and widen participation opportunities in a wide range of subjects in arts, social sciences, humanities and computing.
