Study in University of London

Studying at London,
The University of London is unlike many other universities. It consists of 19 largely self governing Colleges and 10 other smaller specialist research Institutes. In many ways the Colleges are considered universities in their own right: they set their own entrance criteria for their courses and they offer their own services to students. Some now also have their own degree awarding powers. All students from all the Colleges and Institutes are also University of London students, making them part of a community of over 120,000 students and giving them access to many services in London.

The constituent colleges of the University of London are divided as follows:

* Birkbeck, University of London (BBK)
* The Central School of Speech and Drama (CSSD)
* Courtauld Institute of Art
* Goldsmiths, University of London (GUL)
* Heythrop College
* Institute of Cancer Research (ICR)
* Institute of Education (IoE)
* King's College London (KCL)
* London Business School (LBS)
* The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
* London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM)
* Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL)
* Royal Academy of Music (RAM)
* Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL)
* Royal Veterinary College (RVC)
* School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)
* The School of Pharmacy, University of London
* University College London (UCL)
* University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP)
* St George's, University of London, formerly St George's Hospital Medical School (SGUL)

Imperial College London - Royal Charter

London University for Study science, engineering, medicine and business.
Imperial College London (The Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine as titled in its Royal Charter) is a British university in London specialising in science, engineering, medicine and business.

Imperial College London is a member of the Russell Group of Universities, a part of the Golden Triangle, the IDEA League, the European University Association, AMBA, and the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
The University was placed 5th overall in the world in the 2009 Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings of universities worldwide, and was placed 26th in the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities.

Imperial's main campus is located in South Kensington in Central London, on the boundary between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster (the Knightsbridge part), with its front entrance on Exhibition Road. Including Imperial's other campuses, there is a total of 525,233 square metres (5,653,560 sq ft) of property which is the largest operational estate of any higher education institution in the UK.

Formerly a constituent college of the University of London, Imperial became independent of the university on 8 July 2007, the 100th anniversary of its founding.

Accommodation in Imperial College London
Imperial College owns and manages twenty halls of residence in Inner London, Ealing, Ascot and Wye. Over three thousand rooms are available, guaranteeing first year undergraduates a place in College residences.

The majority of halls offer single or twin accommodation with some rooms having en suite facilities. Study bedrooms are provided with basic furniture and with access to shared kitchens and bathrooms. The majority of rooms come with internet access and access to the Imperial network. Most of them are considered among the newest student halls at London universities.

Most students in college or university accommodation are first-year undergraduates, since they are granted a room once they have selected Imperial College as their firm offer at UCAS. The majority of older students and postgraduates find accommodation in the private sector, help for which is provided by the College private housing office. However a handful of students may continue to live in halls in later years if they take the position of a "hall senior".
Some students are also selected to live in International Students House, London.
