About the university

ASU London is a small, independent higher education provider in central London with its own UK degree-awarding powers. It was founded by Arizona State University and grew out of TEDI-London, an engineering and design institute set up in 2019 by Arizona State University, UNSW Sydney and King's College London. It teaches through hands-on projects rather than traditional lectures.

It offers three-year bachelor's degrees in business and management, computer science and several engineering subjects, with a pathway to a master's at Arizona State University in the US. The pitch is two degrees (UK bachelor's and US master's) in about four years, for students who meet the entry requirements.

Indian students should read the visa limits carefully. ASU London is a new Student visa sponsor. Until it gains full sponsor status, its international students cannot work in the UK while studying, cannot apply for the Graduate visa, and must prove English only with IELTS for UKVI.
