The University of London was established by Royal Charter in 1836 and is one of Europe's pre-eminent universities, in the same league as Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, recognized globally as a leader in Higher education. It is a federation of distinct, separate and, in many cases, multi-faculty self governing Colleges, together with specialist Institutes. The External Programme was established in 1858 to make University of London degrees accessible to students who were not able to study at the University in the conventional way.
Postgraduate level programmes are offered by distance study in a wide range of disciplines : Management (MBA), Finance, Economics, Information Security, Law, Agriculture and Livestock, Health, Environment, Education, Veterinary Science, HRM, Public Policy, Rural Development etc. At this level the range of material and support provided to students varies dependent on the specific qualification.
In the majority of post graduate diplomas and degrees, students receive everything they need as a package or online, in order to complete their study. This may include text books, study guides for units, readers, audio/video tapes and the relevant Regulations and past examination papers.
Academic staff from the Lead College set assignments and give individual guidance and feedback. Courses are increasingly introducing innovative Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) techniques and through them, access to the University of London Library. Students are also encouraged to network with each other.
