Can’t decide between studying abroad in the UK or USA? Now you don’t have to choose! Introducing ASU London: a new institution where you can study a UK bachelor’s, then an optional master’s at Arizona State University in the USA.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What careers can I prepare for at ASU London?
ASU London offers degrees in practical subjects like Business, Computer Science and Engineering. Here, you’ll gain a future-focused qualification that’s shaped by innovation, technology and artificial intelligence. This gives you excellent preparation for your future career.
It’s also a place where you can do things a bit differently. Rather than following a traditional curriculum with lots of lectures, ASU London is focused on project-based learning. You’ll get to collaborate with the institution’s industry partners to address real-world problems, with a strong focus on sustainability. Finding ethical solutions that consider both people and the planet will shape all the work you do.
You’ll get to use industry-standard equipment and facilities in your work too. That means you’ll graduate with the skills and experience that will help you to stand out to employers.
Where is ASU London?
ASU London shares a campus with City St George’s, University of London. ASU London students will have access to all the facilities such as the library, gym and study and social spaces.
The campus is in Clerkenwell, a fashionable area with independent shops and lots of cafés, restaurants and green spaces. The London Underground, buses and national rail services will keep you connected to the rest of the city.
Is ASU London connected to Arizona State University?
ASU London was founded by Arizona State University. You may have heard of it — Arizona State University is a very well-known and globally respected university.
In fact, it ranks #1 in the USA for innovation (U.S. Best Colleges, 11 years, 2016–2026)!
That means you’ll benefit from a curriculum developed by Arizona State University experts and informed by their world-leading international research. ASU London isn’t an Arizona State University campus though; it’s an independent institution with its own degree-awarding powers.
However, if you’d like to earn a degree from Arizona State University as well, you’re in luck!

Double up your career prospects
by studying a bachelor’s degree in the UK with a guaranteed offer to take a master’s in the USA
How can I earn two degrees in two countries in only four years?
Studying at ASU London allows you to get a truly international education. First, you’ll study a bachelor’s degree in London, the world’s third best student city (QS Student Cities 2026). Then, if you want, you can head to sunny Phoenix, USA, to gain a master’s degree from Arizona State University.
Master’s degrees in the USA are typically studied over two years. However, Arizona State University offers ASU London graduates a special accelerated programme that takes only a year. That lets you gain a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in a total of just four years.
That future could include Optional Practical Training (OPT),a post-study work programme. Depending on your degree, you could work in the USA for up to three years after finishing your master’s.
The best thing? Graduate from a three-year bachelor’s at ASU London with at least a 2:2 and Arizona State University will guarantee your place on a related master’s degree.
It’s a way to double your opportunities by building experiences, contacts and memories to last a lifetime in two countries.
Can I study a master’s degree in the UK instead?
Yes! ASU London offers an integrated master’s degree. This is a four-year bachelor’s degree with an extra master’s year included after your bachelor’s studies.
If you choose this option, you won’t be eligible for guaranteed entry to a master’s, or OPT in the USA. However, you’ll be able to take advantage of the UK’s own post-study work scheme, the Graduate visa. This special visa lets you stay to work in the UK for up to two years after you graduate.
Do I have to do a master’s degree?
No, it’s completely optional. If you’d like to just take a three year bachelor’s degree at ASU London and dive straight into your career afterwards, you can definitely do that.
Are there scholarships available?
There are! The first 75 international students to accept their place at ASU London in 2026 will be automatically awarded a scholarship. The Innovation and Ambition scholarship is worth £4,750, equal to a 20% fee reduction. This brings down the annual cost of tuition from £23,600 to only £18,850.
The scholarship renews for each year of your studies, so long as you successfully progress to the next academic year.
How can I apply to ASU London?
Applications are open now. International students who meet ASU London’s entry requirements can apply through Kaplan for admission to degrees starting in September 2026. Don’t forget, if you’re one of the first applicants you could be eligible for an automatic scholarship!
If you don’t meet the requirements for degree admission, you can apply for a Kaplan degree preparation course instead. This will help you to improve your English, academic skills and subject knowledge to the required level. When you successfully pass the course, you’re guaranteed entry to your ASU London degree.
Choose from intakes throughout the year, and study in person at Kaplan International College London, or online through Digital Pathways. Whichever you choose, you’ll study your ASU London degree on campus in Clerkenwell.
