NCUK announces partnership with London Metropolitan University

NCUK has announced a new partnership with London Metropolitan University, further expanding progression opportunities for international students and offering a new study destination in the heart of London.

Through this partnership, students who successfully complete the NCUK International Foundation Year (IFY) at University Foundation College (UFC), the only NCUK Study Centre in Qatar, benefit from guaranteed progression to bachelor’s degree programmes at London Metropolitan University, subject to meeting the university’s entry requirements. 

Located in one of the world’s leading global cities, London Metropolitan University combines academic learning with practical, career focused education. Its degree programmes are designed to equip students with the knowledge, professional skills, and real world experience required to succeed across a wide range of industries. Students can choose from programmes in Business, Economics, Finance, Law, Computing, Architecture, Art and Design, Human and Health Sciences, and the Social Sciences. 

As one of London’s most internationally diverse universities, London Metropolitan University brings together students from across the globe in an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Modern teaching facilities, personalised academic support, and a vibrant campus community help students develop academically while preparing them for life beyond university. 

Studying in London provides students with unique advantages beyond the classroom. As a global centre for business, finance, technology, media, and the creative industries, the city offers extensive opportunities for networking, internships, industry engagement, and cultural experiences. London Metropolitan University’s central location allows students to take full advantage of these opportunities throughout their studies. 

The university was ranked No. 1 in the UK for Student Value Added in The Guardian University Guide 2026, recognising its commitment to helping students achieve strong academic outcomes regardless of their starting point. 

This partnership further strengthens the progression pathways available through NCUK, giving students at UFC in Qatar another opportunity to continue their education at a recognised UK university while studying in one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities.
