Welcome to our international students
We would like to welcome you to the London Met community so you can settle into university life and prepare for your studies.
Preparing for Study Blog
Our Preparing for Study Blog offers practical advice, tips and insights to help you settle into university life and prepare for your academic journey.
Dedicated Library Guides and Conversation Café
We have a dedicated Library guide for international students which includes a vocabulary guide to help you understand the Library and academic terminology, as well as information about the Conversation Café which is open to all students - whether or not English is your first language. Here you can meet new people and boost your confidence in speaking English.

The Students' Union provides a range of services, events and societies which can help you integrate into university life and feel part of the community.

Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) collection
Effective 31 October 2024, UKVI have confirmed that Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) will no longer be issued. New Student Visa holders will instead receive a digital immigration status called an eVisa. You can find information on how to create, view and prove your immigration status on your student visa decision letter once your application is granted.
Remote Study and your Student visa
The expectation is that all students should be physically present on campus to attend all scheduled classes, there is no online teaching provision for Student visa holders, and your attendance will be monitored.
