Our historic Stratford
campus is in one of the best-connected areas of London: close to Stratford’s

DUAL DELIVERY
Pro Vice Chancellor, Education and Experience, Charles Egbu, explains how courses have been delivered under the new dual delivery educational framework since September 2020.
No one can predict what 2021 will look like, however we do know
that Covid-19 is creating a new normal, whereby people will want to choose
their learning between learning together in a physical and a digital world to
suit them.
From September 2020, UEL offered a dual delivery educational model that
introduced face-to-face teaching alongside our innovative online delivery,
which saw plans for a safe covid-secure phased re-opening of our campuses a
success.
If you have any questions about our dual delivery educational framework
and what studying under the framework looks like, join our live Q&A session at 19:35.
More information, including FAQ’s and step-by-step guides to our new
safety protocols and dual delivery learning model, can be found at our Return to Campus page.
FAQs
FAQs – Home/EU students
In light of the current situation surrounding COVID-19 and with the safety of our staff, students and visitors in mind, we have taken the decision to cancel all our scheduled undergraduate and postgraduate on-campus events and instead run online events which you will be able to join from any location.
You can call to speak with our Applicant Relations or Admissions Teams on 020 4509 1460 or you can complete the Call Back Form and a member of the team will be in touch.
How do I choose the right course for me?
Selecting a course is vital. Our Applicant Relations team is available on email at study@uel.ac.uk to provide support if you are unsure about a course being right for you. Alternatively, you can send an enquiry to our Information Advice and Guidance team.
What information should I gather before applying?
Before you make your application make sure you have the following ready:
1. Personal Statement
Personal statements are very important as it gives you the opportunity to write your motives for wanting to study the course of your choice. For assistance on writing your supporting statement visit the UCAS supporting statement page or speak to our Information Advice and Guidance team.
2. Information on your qualification/s
You will need to confirm level of qualification/s, awarding body and grade. Please note, we require a copy of your qualifications at the point of application and we may request to see the hard copy when you enrol. For certificates which may have been misplaced or lost, it would be a good idea to request replacement, so you have them ready for enrolment.
3. References
For your application we require at least one reference. Your referee can be either your tutors or employers. Please note we cannot accept references from family members, or friends.
4. English Language
If your undergraduate degree is not from the UK, we may require evidence of a satisfactory English Language qualification or test.

How will my application be assessed?
At UEL we take a broad ranging holistic view of all
applications we receive; we look at the Applicant and not just the
application – the things we look at include:
- Qualifications achieved prior to your application
- Predicted grades of any qualifications you are currently studying
- Personal statement
- Prior work experience and skills gained
- Portfolio of work (where appropriate)
