ASU London is an independent, UK-accredited provider of higher education focused on delivering world-class opportunities to students who are seeking a practical, future-ready education, drawing on curriculum from one of the world’s top universities, Arizona State University.
At ASU London, you’ll earn your degree in computer science, engineering or business management through a hands-on, project-based curriculum shaped by industry and community leaders. From smart cities to sustainability, user-centered design, and advanced manufacturing, you’ll tackle real-world challenges while mastering the principles of AI and sustainable innovation.
The experience is global and flexible: complete a three-year undergraduate degree in London guided by leading U.K. faculty in collaboration with Arizona State University, then pursue a master’s either at ASU in the U.S. – with access to post-study work opportunities – or remain in London for a U.K. master’s. Both paths expand your international horizons, combining London’s global culture with ASU’s top-ranked excellence.
We are growing our degree provision and we offer:
ASU London has been granted degree-awarding powers from the Higher Education Regulator – the Office for Students. All graduates of ASU London will receive a UK-accredited ASU London degree. The diploma will reflect ASU London Centre of Advanced Learning as the awarding institution. Students from ASUL who pursue dual degrees will also receive an Arizona State University diploma.
The BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering shall be accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (AHEP) and The BSc Computer Science shall be accredited by the BCS The Chartered institute for IT.
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and the Accreditation of Higher Education Programs (AHEP) are recognized as substantially equivalent under international accords: through the Washington Accord for engineering programmes and through the Seoul Accord for computing and IT-related programmes. These accords ensure that accredited programmes under either body meet the same internationally benchmarked standards of quality.
Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
At ASU London we welcome students/learners from any academic discipline backgrounds, each application will be considered on an individual basis.
Our ‘Home’ Applicants may come from a wide range of backgrounds including A-levels, IB Diploma or Career-related Programme, BTEC, and T-Levels and from those in employment looking to up-skill or cross-train into the engineering and design field.

Our curriculum takes an interdisciplinary approach, blending academic theory with practical experience across fields such as technology, design, business, and the social sciences. You’ll build a strong foundation in digital tools, innovation, and professional practice while gaining the flexibility to shape your studies around your interests and goals.
To support your projects, you’ll access interactive online modules and resources that complement your in-person learning. Graduates leave ASU London with a diverse skill set, global perspective, and the confidence to make an impact—wherever their careers take them.
You will be taught in classes of around 30-40 students, but your project groups will be much smaller – around 5 per team. Academics will assign teams so you will have the opportunity to work with a range of classmates throughout your programme.

As ASU London is a new institution with small numbers, we won’t appear in any ranking or league tables; however, ASU London was founded by Arizona State University, ranked in the top 1% international universities for education, employability, faculty, and research by the Center for World University Rankings.
Arizona State University is recognised as the US’s most innovative university – ahead of MIT and Stanford. In addition, it also leads the US and is in the top five in the world for advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, including global impact on poverty and hunger, developing solutions for clean water and energy and promoting gender equality.
Yes. We have a sponsorship license, which means that we’re able to welcome International students to ASU London, provided your visa application is approved by the UK Home Office.
A minimum level of English proficiency will be required – A minimum IELTS of 6.0 (with a minimum of 6.0 in writing, and a minimum of 5.5 in all other elements)
Learn more about our international entry requirements and studying at ASU London as an international student.
International students will be expected to provide all documents required for the visa compliance before we issue a CAS.
If you are an international student, you cannot work whilst studying because our student visa license is probationary.
For other students, it is possible to work part-time alongside your studies should you wish. However, it is worth noting that our degrees are full-time and we would advise against working too many hours in addition to the programme, as you may find it difficult to keep up with your studies. Finding employment with the option to work flexible hours will enable you to manage your time to prioritise and work around your learning. One option would be to take part in our student ambassador scheme, which offers flexible working hours taking place on campus that you can easily fit around your schedule.
Yes. We want to support everyone to achieve and will take additional steps if you declare a disability or specific learning difference to us.
When you declare a specific disability or learning difference to us, our Student Hub will contact you directly to organise any necessary assistance and can help you with submitting requests for support from other organisations, for example the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).
We also offer one-to-one support as required to meet reasonable adjustments. You’ll be able to find more information about this via the Student Hub.
Although theoretical learning content will be accessible via our virtual learning environment – ASU London does not currently offer a distance learning option, as student attendance is required to carry out onsite practical projects and assignments.
We particularly welcome applications from mature applicants and those from groups not traditionally represented on university programmes and/or in engineering.
Applicants may come from a wide range of backgrounds including those employment looking to up-skill or cross-train into the engineering and design field.
ASU London students have access to City St George’s student facilities during their studies with us. This includes City St George’s clubs and societies, bars and cafés, plus the gym, and libraries, so you’ll really get to have the best of both with an exciting range of extracurricular opportunities around your studies.
ASU London was founded to prepare the next generation of global thinkers, creators, and innovators. Our teaching approach emphasises excellence, collaboration, and real-world impact, ensuring every student is supported to achieve their full potential.
Our faculty are dedicated to delivering an outstanding student experience, combining personal support with engaging, hands-on learning. Through our connection with Arizona State University, you’ll also benefit from access to world-leading research, global expertise, and the latest innovations in education.
All the projects will be based in ASU London, but there will be opportunities to visit industrial partners during collaborative projects. Major final year projects may be based in industry for up to 20 weeks. These may also take place in Arizona.
In your third year, you’ll have the unique opportunity to complete your Major Individual Project at Arizona State University.
This gives you a fantastic 20 week study abroad experience where you’ll experience student life in a new country and campus, and build a global network of peers!
To qualify for the Study Abroad programme, students must obtain an average overall mark of 60% at Level 5.
Alternatively, students can opt to complete their project in the UK, collaborating with our industry partner for a practical, industry-relevant experience.
Study abroad eligibility for International students is subject to visa status and any travel restrictions.
With our project-based approach, ASU London students are professionals in training and will learn ‘hands-on’ from day one on projects that are real-life challenges co-designed with employers.
Our courses differ from degree apprenticeships, for which apprentices are typically employees and spend 80% of their time with their employer with only 20% of their time spent on campus. Additionally, at ASU London, students will be working with multiple employers, rather than just one. This provides a wider experience and broader exposure to potential employers – it also enables our students to build a portfolio of project experience and delivery to present, reference and discuss at job interviews.
