Which and how many Universities are located in London? uniRank tries to answer this question by publishing a comprehensive alphabetical list of 166 London Universities and other higher-education institutions meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

• being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate UK higher education-related organization
• offering at least four-year undergraduate degrees (bachelor degrees) or postgraduate degrees (master or doctoral degrees)
• delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive listing, sorted by alphabetical order, of all London Universities, Colleges and other higher-education institutions.

London has one of the largest concentrations of universities and higher education institutions in the world. It has 40 higher education institutions[1] (not counting foreign Universities with London branches) and has a student population of more than 400,000.[2][3] Among the institutions in London are some of the old colleges that today make up the federal University of London, modern universities, as well as a number of smaller and often highly specialised universities and colleges. Additionally, over 45,000 students in over 180 countries follow the University of London External System, established in 1858.[4]
