About us

CU London, part of the Coventry University Group, is dedicated to making higher education accessible to more people through our flexible study options. You shouldn’t have to put your life or career on hold in order to study.

At the moment, the world is full of uncertainty. We are constantly having to adapt to new ways of living, working, and communicating. Our plans for the next year, next month or even next week are continually challenged as government guidelines change.

Whether you study at our Dagenham or Greenwich campuses, CU London is committed to providing a course that fits around you.

Take one module at a time

Students study one new module per block, making it much easier to focus and digest information as you’ll only focus on one topic at a time.

A qualification each academic year

Our degrees are broken down so that at the end of each year, you earn a qualification. You can build up your CV as you work towards a degree.

We also have no end-of-year exams, perhaps the biggest source of stress for many students. Assessments are instead set by the course and could include coursework, presentations and more.

Many start times around the year

Each course is delivered in short blocks, usually six weeks in duration. There are six blocks in each year, and you can begin your studies at the start of any block.

You can study 3, 4 or 6 modules a year, depending on your course. In total, you need to study 4 for a HNC, 8 for a HND, or 12 blocks for a degree.

Regular timetables

Whether you have work or caring commitments, we know that one of the most difficult things can be arranging those other aspects of your life around an irregular timetable, so we make things simple.

You can expect up to 20 hours of learning per week and to be attending typically two whole day sessions every week for face to face activity, leaving the rest of your week free. This timetable is subject to the latest COVID-19 government guidelines.
