Our purpose

Founded on the ideals of inclusivity, diversity and collaboration, the University of London is a pioneering institution committed to increasing access to education, championing research excellence and delivering social good.

Grounded by a sense of community and the notion that collective expertise and power can transform people’s lives, what makes us unique is our ability to impart the power of learning, sharing and connection at an unparalleled scale.

Together, we are diverse, but with a common purpose. We are comprised of students, academics and staff from all walks of life, but form one inclusive community. We have a footprint in more than 190 countries, but act as one global network. We are a collective of 17 Member Institutions, acting as one Federation.

We are many, we are one.
