Home ABOUT UEL The University of East London has been pioneering futures since 1898: from the 2nd Industrial Revolution through to where we are now, the 4th. Our new vision The University of East London has been pioneering futures since 1898: from the 2nd Industrial Revolution through to where we are now, the 4th. We are a careers-led university, dedicated to supporting our students to develop the skills, emotional intelligence and creativity needed to thrive in a constantly changing world. Over the 2018-19 academic year the University of East London has been developing and starting to implement a new 10-year strategy, Vision 2028, to transform our curriculum, pedagogy, research impact and partnerships to make a positive difference to student, graduate and community success. Our ambitious but achievable goal is to become the leading careers-focused, enterprising university in the UK, one which both prepares our students for the jobs of the future and provides the innovation to drive that future sustainably and inclusively. Play OUR NEW BRAND As part of our Vision 2028 strategic plan, we have been working with staff, students, alumni, partners and other stakeholders to articulate who we are and what we have to offer. We worked with our stakeholders to come up with a new visual identity that reflects both our heritage and our relevance in the modern world. We want our identity to capture the rich blend of people, heritage, innovation and life in east London. We are proud of where we have come from but it's important that we shape the future. Our new visual identity is perfectly poised for that. Our new logo Our new logo reflects the importance of the University's origins but also represents an institution that is bold, confident and future-facing. It comes directly from the University coat of arms and has been designed to capture the pure essence of all that we are. The unique phoenix iconography combined with the Olympic torch hints to our heritage and location, whereas the cogs represent the instrumental part we play in the community and our connection to industry. Our logo honours our connection with our history, whilst reaching forward to the future. Our location London is moving east, and with campuses in Stratford and the historic Royal Albert Dock , we are at the heart of this industrial and creative shift which makes up a powerful global gateway. Our Docklands campus and accommodation is set in a beautiful, dynamic location, right next to the river, with the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) on its doorstep (and free UEL buses running to Stratford). Our students live in stunning surroundings, and are never far from the action and work experience opportunities of central London. The location of the Docklands campus is simply amazing. During my very first day in university, it was early morning, I was quite nervous, but when I saw the sunrise and the reflection of the sun in the river, that made me stop, think and calm down. Kristiyan Krastev BA (Hons) Computer Games Design: Story Development The careers-led university We work with global organisations to make our courses entrepreneurial, creative and inspirational. Wherever our students want to work - in business, technology, teaching, arts, media, science, sport or the public sector - they will have the skills necessary to adapt to the world of tomorrow, and to be the leaders and pioneers of today. More and more, employers are seeking workers who possess skills such as emotional intelligence and creativity, the ability to think critically and undertake complex problem solving. That's why we've put these skills at the heart of every one of our degrees, counting towards students' final qualification. As evidence of these achievements we give our students a career passport that'll open doors. We call this our Professional Fitness & Mental Wealth programme. Find out more The support we provide University can be a life-changing experience, and we ensure that our students get the support they need along their journey. Our Career Zone has a dedicated Career Coaching team, as well as one to-one advice from our academic tutors, study skills sessions, mental wellbeing support, and peer advice from recent graduates to help students stay on track. We'll advise and encourage them from the moment they apply to the day they graduate - and beyond.
