London Guildhall University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    London Guildhall University was a public university in the United Kingdom that existed from 1992 to 2002 and later merged into London Metropolitan University. It suits anyone researching a former UK institution rather than a university you can currently apply to.

  2. What you can study

    The university is no longer operating, so there is no current study programme to apply for there. It was established from the City of London Polytechnic and later became part of London Metropolitan University; for current study options, check London Metropolitan University instead.

  3. Getting in

    There is no current admissions route because the university no longer exists as an independent institution. If you are looking at its successor, confirm application requirements, entry conditions, and deadlines directly with London Metropolitan University.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a current fee because it is no longer operating. For present-day costs, confirm tuition and living expenses with the admissions office of London Metropolitan University and check the current visa and accommodation costs separately.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published. Before applying anywhere connected to this former institution, confirm the programme language, entry requirements, visa steps, housing, and recognition of qualifications with the current university.

  6. How it compares

    The United Kingdom has 193 universities, and London Guildhall University was one of the country’s former public institutions rather than a current option. Its main relevance now is historical, and its premises became part of London Metropolitan University’s City campus after the merger in 2002.
