Admissions team of this university are so rude, horrible and rubbish they misplace your documents and lie to you by telling that you never submitted the documents we requested. They do know not how to handle applicant information and this is very risky. Please, don't study in this university unless your too desperate!

I was a student of UEL for three years. Most of the lecturers who taught me were great, but the staff were and are the most incompetent bunch of people I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. The residential department are a joke who just avoid any complaints or problems you have, but when they require something from students you've never seen anybody move quicker. Nobody at the HUB (the main department for services to students) appears to be on the same page as anyone else. I have been trying for the past two weeks to get a straight answer on how to get my middle name included on my degree and transcript so I can process a visa application. I have received a different answer every time. I was then given the e-mail address of a supervisor who I still have not received any reply from. This is not helpful when you are in a hurry to resolve any issues you may have. All in all, the services for students at this university appear to create more problems than they resolve.

i graduated uel in 2015 with a degree that is still not equivalent in my country. joining uel as international student was my biggest mistake. i will never suggest any one especially to the Nepalese student to join uel. i also contacted uel several times to help me out with this issue but they took forever to reply back. it was my waste of 30000 pound and 3 years of my life time.

Probably the best uni campus in London. I love this uni. Gym facilities for students are cheap, staff and teachers are all very polite and knowledgeable.

DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!
UEL will attempt to lure you with very enticing offers such as scholarships or promises of fulfilling your dreams. THIS IS NOT SO. I have been lied to, cheated and disregarded. The Psychology department is a JOKE, how dare UEL insist that its Psych dept. Is top of the school rankings, I was lied to about the accreditation of my degree, I was cheated out of promised time to complete my dissertation proposal, and virtually ALL of my instructors left during my time at UEL. BE WARNED, this school has shady practices and practically NO ethics whatsoever. Attend a university that will respect and value you as this one certainly won’t.

Diversity is at work at UEL. It is where you are being valued and respected as a foreigner. Majority of the lecturers are friendly with the students and want them to succeed in their academics pursuit.
