The various colleges of the University of London range in size dramatically from multi-faculty institutions to smaller, more specialized establishments. A plethora of subjects are covered at London University to diploma, undergraduate and post-graduate levels and most courses are offered on a full-time basis; with part time and distance learning being other options. Uni facilities are superba and the popular University of London Union is a great tool for students.
The City of London
London is quite simply one of the world’s great metropolises, with some outstanding attractions, thousands of years of history, bags of character, and unending nightlife. Monuments and historical icons abound and include Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace. Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square are perfect for hanging out, while Oxford Street and Covent Garden provide an endless choice of shopping, eating and nightlife.
Student Loans
The University of London is allowed to charge new full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for student loans to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Taking out a student loan is the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
