We’re so proud that UEL has been named the UK University of the Year 2025 for Teaching Quality by The Times and Sunday Times in the annual Good University Guide 2025.

Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Amanda Broderick said, “We have received outstanding feedback from our graduating students’ of 2023 and 2024. Our community is breaking down barriers and pioneering futures; validation for our strategic decision, six years ago, to transform our curriculum and student experience to ensure our students, who are among the most diverse in the country, have the knowledge, skills and confidence to take their place as leaders and innovators in the 5.0 economy.

“Our staff goes above and beyond every day to educate and inspire students, and they are among the very best in the country.

“We are committed to diversifying the talent pipeline and equipping students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the workforce of the future.

Higher Education leaders from across the UK met at @UEL_news today to pledge their shared support for new guidance on early years training.

“We have a unique opportunity to help lead the shift from insight to implementation: embedding a consistent understanding of social and emotional development across systems and improving outcomes for children across the life course.” - @ProfBoderick.

We were honoured to host HRH The Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal at UEL today to launch a major new guide designed to support those working with young children and families.

From touring our @ISEY labs to meeting students, the visit highlighted UEL’s role in shaping the future of early years care.

“Research consistently shows that it is our earliest relationships... which lay the foundations for our future health and happiness.” - HRH The Princess of Wales.

What if construction could be grown from agricultural waste? 🌱

This morning, we were very proud to welcome the Rt. Hon. @wesstreeting MP back to the University of East London for a major announcement on the future of the NHS. Joined by other ministers from the @DHSCgovuk, including @zubirahmed and @karinsmyth, as well as key stakeholders from across the @NHSuk and local government, the Health Secretary delivered an important announcement on the future of our health service.

It was a privilege to see our University once again providing the backdrop for such a significant national moment, and we were particularly proud of our healthcare students who were able to attend the event and ask questions during the session. Mr. Streeting last joined us in October to officially open our Neighbourhood Health Hub, a pioneering model providing accessible, preventative care for local communities, bringing healthcare closer to home through innovation and collaboration.

At UEL, we are proud to host and contribute to this vital national renewal, working in partnership with the NHS to help drive real-world improvements in health and care.

Today, we marked an important milestone at the University of East London with the groundbreaking of our new academic building at the Stratford Health Campus.

The start of construction shows our commitment to equity, sustainability, and social impact, creating a space where education, research and community health come together.

It will support our Practice Makes Professional Curriculum and provide open, collaborative spaces, dedicated teaching rooms, and a cutting-edge lecture hall designed with exceptional flexibility to accommodate a wide range of uses for students and staff alike, including the use of virtual reality, augmented reality and simulation spaces with avatar tables.

Building on partnerships with the @NHSuk and our work across the London Borough of Newham, the new facility will offer cutting-edge learning environments to train the next generation of healthcare professionals.

More than a building, this is about expanding opportunity, supporting our communities, and helping deliver a fairer, healthier future.

If the University of East London disappeared tomorrow:

▪️ 13,275 UK jobs would vanish
▪️ Nearly 3,000 jobs in Newham would be lost
▪️ £1.17bn would be removed from the UK economy

Universities aren’t just places of learning. They’re economic anchors for communities.

Across the UK, women are more likely to be misdiagnosed, wait longer for treatment and have their pain dismissed. Although women live longer than men, they spend more years in ill health. In fact, the UK has the largest gender health gap in the G20.

UEL Vice-Chancellor & President @ProfBroderick argues that improving women's health must sit at the centre of @NHSuk reform - not at the margins.

[MillionPlus @million_plus]

Great to see this pushback on the “degree factory” narrative from @UEL_News VC @ProfBroderick

Modern universities deliver skills, opportunity and economic growth in every part of the country – a role that deserves greater recognition in policy debates.

[Uni of East London @UEL_News]

Universities are more than degree factories.

In a new piece for iNews @theipaper, UEL Vice-Chancellor & President @ProfBroderick challenges the narrow way universities are often judged.

At the University of East London, our impact goes far beyond degrees.

We employ thousands, with hundreds more local business roles sustained by our activity. Remove it and more than 3,000 jobs would disappear from the London Borough of Newham – more than the workforces of London City Airport and @WestHam combined.

From training the workforce that powers our @NHSuk, schools and businesses to supporting local enterprises, universities are woven into the everyday life of our communities.

Universities are employers, partners and engines of opportunity for the communities they serve.

We are honoured to celebrate this day with two of our newest honorary doctorates, Alison…

Last night, Docklands was transformed into a landscape of light and motion. 🎇✨

#UELAfterDark was a powerful reminder of what happens when our community unites to push creative boundaries. From high-wire feats to fire-lit performances, our campus became a living gallery for east London.

We don’t just observe the world changing, we are the ones driving that momentum forward.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the incredible teams who brought this wonderful evening to life! 🙌

After Dark may be over, but it was a core memory for some of our students. 🔮

“The entire university campus was illuminated for the After Dark event — it honestly felt like the dragon had come to life and was soaring above us. I’m already counting down to next year’s celebration!” - Veer Rathod, Computer Science student.

UEL After Dark transformed our Docklands Campus into a celebration of movement, expression and community ✨

From the graceful Sway Pole performers to the high-energy UK African Acrobats, aerial theatre, Mahogany Carnival Arts and interactive workshops, the docks became a stage for collective energy.

At UEL, #TeamUEL celebrates talent in its most dynamic forms and the power of movement to unite east London.

Excellence in Nursing & Healthcare: UEL Shortlisted for 6 Student Nursing Times Awards! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to announce that the University of East London has been shortlisted for six categories for the 2026 Student Nursing Times Awards. @NursingTimes

AND the last + most crazy part of the @UEL_News delegation last week was this “innovation evening” hosted by @vishalgondal bhai & @mumbai_tech_. Totally rocking.

Neuroscience and Space and Design in Physical AI and Infra History across both countries … and what not! Thank you, to all the TEAM members who showed up in best spirits, to Vishal who moderated to perfection, and to Lady Saadiya Ahmad, Rob Waterson, who took every single question on front foot, made copious notes, and as I can see from the days that have followed, are already figuring common synergies across a host of stuff.

We @ Leverage did some 5-6 high impact things together with UEL in possibly <100 hrs, and boy oh boy, I’ve taken away much more than I’d thought.

The common thread, also, has been its Vice Chancellor @ProfBroderick’s leadership, which shines through even when she isn’t in the room .. and that’s definitely something I’ll personally aspire to get to in my own leadership journey everything next ;)

More to come soon.

Nearly 2 million children in the UK experience early language delays - and new research is asking whether everyday noise in nurseries could be part of the problem. 👶

Led by Dr. Gemma Goldenberg (@GemmaGoldenberg) at the University of East London’s Institute for the Study of Early Years and supported by the Nuffield Foundation, the study explores how background noise affects babies’ communication and whether simple changes could help give children a better start.
