It currently has 13,500 students from 135 countries enrolled, and the campuses at Docklands and Stratford are located in East London, close to the major financial centre of Canary Wharf and the region chosen to host the 2012 Olympics. The Docklands Campus was London's first new university campus in 50 years.
UEL was ranked 2nd in the UK for teaching quality (Times Higher Education Young University Rankings), as well as featuring in the world’s top 200 young universities (Times Higher Education Young University Rankings).

There is a free orientation programme before the beginning of the term for international students, while academic preparation courses for some undergraduate programmes (as well as pre-sessional English) are also available.
UEL has safe, waterfront, on-campus accommodation with 24-hour security. There are around 1200 rooms available in UEL’s student village. All rooms have en-suite facilities and internet access points.
There are several privately run halls of residence nearby. The Accommodation Service can offer advice about house sharing and homestay arrangements.
