What is the website?

[Ahmed]

here is some info on the university:
The university is a federal body made up of 31 highly autonomous affiliates (18 colleges and 13 institutes). The most famous colleges are Goldsmiths' College, Imperial College London, King's College London, the London Business School, the London School of Economics, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway, the School of Oriental and African Studies and University College London.

For most practical purposes, ranging from admission of students to negotiating funding from the government, the 18 constituent colleges are treated as individual universities. Within the university federation they are known as Recognised Bodies, with the authority to examine students and have the university award them degrees. One of the conditions of membership of the University of London federation is that colleges do not award degrees of their own. At present Imperial College and UCL retain this power, but have yet to use it.

The thirteen institutes, or Listed Bodies, within the University of London offer courses leading to degrees that are both examined and awarded by the University of London. Additionally, the university licenses the awarding of its degrees to universities outside of the system. Twelve universities in England, several in Canada and many in other Commonwealth countries (notably in East Africa) began life as associate colleges of the university offering such degrees. By the 1970s almost all of these colleges had achieved independence from the University of London, but in recent years this aspect of its work has revived due to the globalisation of the higher education market, and an increasing number of overseas academic institutes are once again offering University of London diplomas and degrees.

It is the second-largest university in the United Kingdom, after the Open University.

Ahmad,

The External Program at the University of London is a 100% accredited program. All universities in the United Kingdom MUST be made into a university by either a Royal Charter or an Act of Parliament. You can have no fear AT ALL of this uni's programs. I am doing a medical degree in England and am doing a Law degree at the University of London via their external program at the same time and will be able to register as a solicitor in England after I'm done the degree and two other courses afterwards. (I'm gonna do medical malpratice law as well as clinical medicine)

Hope that helps!
