The University of London allows students to decide how and where they should study. Some students prepare for the examinations totally by themselves. None of the institutions offering tuition to University of London external students is affiliated to the University itself, and the University cannot advise on their academic merit. The University has, however, recently introduced a system of 'Recognition' for which colleges may apply. Costs Fees for Masters' degrees accompanied by distance learning materials are all-inclusive and are given in the relevant prospectus.
All fees are subject to annual change.
Entrance requirements To gain admission to the University of London, students must satisfy certain general requirements. There may be additional course requirements for individual degrees. The general requirements for entry on to a postgraduate course vary according to subject and level, but it is necessary to hold a first degree or equivalent. Application procedures To apply, write to the External Programme asking for a prospectus and application pack for the degree in which you are interested. Most are available to students from all countries, although some courses are only open to students from specific overseas institutions by special arrangement.
