A shared vision for education and innovation

As the UAE aims to build one of the world’s most future-ready economies by 2031, global education
models like the University of London’s — which offer flexibility, academic rigour, and local access —
remain aligned with the country’s ambitions for inclusion, talent retention, and innovation.

About University of London

Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global.

The University of London is a world-leading university with around 40,000 students studying across
more than 190 countries.

We are a national leader in the humanities, and we promote their value to society and the economy

through knowledge creation and exchange.

We are also a federation of 17 esteemed higher education institutions, with collaboration at the heart of
our ethos.

The University of London was founded in 1836 to promote access to higher education. We pioneered
distance learning across the globe. We were the first University in the world to admit students regardless

of their gender, race or religion. In 1878 we were the first UK university to award degrees to women.
Improving access and equality of opportunity remains our mission to this day.
