What can I study at the University of East London?

You can choose from a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across subjects including business, law, health, social sciences, creative arts, and technology.

What’s the difference between undergraduate and postgraduate study?

An undergraduate is a first degree (e.g., BA/BSc) focused on core foundations; a postgraduate is more advanced study (e.g., Master’s) that deepens your expertise and often includes research or industry projects. You normally need to have an undergraduate degree before you can do a postgraduate course.

Can I study part-time or online?

Yes. Many of our courses offer part-time routes and distance or online options so you can fit study around work or family.

How will my course help my career?

UEL courses are designed to develop practical skills and real-world experience. Many include placements, projects, or industry links to help prepare you for employment after graduation.

How do I apply for a course at UEL?

You can apply online through the relevant course page. Undergraduate applications are typically made through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service), while postgraduate applications are made directly to the university.

When do courses start?

Most programmes start in September, with some offering additional intakes (e.g., January, May). See individual course pages for exact dates.

How much does it cost to study and how can I fund it?

Tuition fees vary by course and level. Support can include government loans (eligibility dependent), scholarships/bursaries, employer sponsorship, and instalment plans for some fees.

Are there scholarships or bursaries available?

Yes. UEL offers a range of merit- and need-based awards. Check the Scholarships and Bursaries section for criteria and deadlines.
