Hear from our students
It’s tough growing up in a small town without many people who look like you or share the same ambitions as you. The University of East London is super diverse, it is important because it enables people from minority ethnic backgrounds from marginalised groups to belong and feel part of a community where they can create positive impact in the world.”
Levan Peart, New Beginnings and BA Dance: Urban Practice
I came to London because it is multi-cultural. UEL is reflective of that with its diverse and strong sense of community. What truly sets UEL apart for them is its unwavering commitment to bridging the gap between education and professional success. The university doesn't just equip students with knowledge; it provides a roadmap to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of careers.”
