 Introduction London, with over seven million inhabitants, is a vibrant city. Its many theatres, cinemas, art galleries, museums, shops and street markets, libraries, clubs, pubs and restaurants, make it one of the most exciting cities in the world to study in. Not surprisingly, every year thousands of students flock to the UK’s capital to learn. According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), as many as 334,675 higher education students studied in London during 2001-2002. Many students come from overseas. During the 2001-2002 period, the highest proportion of overseas students came from Greece, followed by the United States, Germany, China, Japan and India. People wanting to study in London are spoilt for choice. There are short courses, long courses, free ones, expensive ones, some practical, some theoretical. You can study at private colleges, state colleges, universities, and local colleges in all parts of London. From Accounting and Acting to Zoology and Zulu, if you want to learn it in London, you can. But how do you find out about what's available? Many Londoners get their information from websites and from guides such as Floodlight, sold in newsagents, which lists a staggering 40,000 courses in London. The guides are often broken up into subjects as well as areas. London is large, and there may be no need to cross the city to find the course you're looking for.
