1. 1

   Getting in

   Because the university was suspended in April 2007, a normal admission route would not be available now. If you are checking archived records or a historical qualification, confirm recognition and any current document checks with the university website and the relevant admissions or records office.

   What it costs

   A tuition fee range is not published. Confirm any historical fee information and current costs, if any apply, with the admissions office. Living costs would depend on London and your own housing and transport choices.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated. Before applying from abroad, check whether the programme is open, whether the university is operating, what documents it accepts, and how any older qualification would be verified.

   How it compares

   Among the 193 universities in the United Kingdom, this institution stands out mainly for its suspended status rather than for active study options. Its degree mix is broad on paper, but the key difference for applicants is that it is not a currently operating choice.
