At the University of East London (UEL), our mission is to prepare students for the careers of the future while shaping that future inclusively and sustainably. Founded in 1898 to meet the skills needs of the second industrial revolution, we are now delivering Vision 2028, our ambitious ten-year strategy to transform education through industry partnerships, innovation, and careers-first learning.

UEL is one of London’s most diverse and vibrant universities, committed to widening participation and driving meaningful change through education, research and global collaboration. We are proud to be an Investors in People accredited institution, and the only university in London to hold Silver awards for both Athena Swan Gender Equality and the Race Equality Charter, reflecting our strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Our research community includes a vibrant and diverse cohort of PhD students and internationally recognised academics and UEL offers a collaborative, inclusive and ambitious research environment where academic leaders can make a genuine impact.

Located in one of London’s fastest-growing regions, the University provides a unique opportunity to contribute to research that shapes local communities, national policy and global debate.

The Royal Docks School of Business & Law (RDSBL) sits at the intersection of economics, business, technology and entrepreneurship.
