The University of East London is marking its 125th anniversary by celebrating, our past, present and future students, staff and local communities – the people who make up the university.
This is a particularly exciting time at UEL, as we both mark our 125th year and approach the mid-point of our ambitious 10-year strategy, Vision 2028. Under Vision 2028, we have made real progress towards achieving our goals of achieving net-zero carbon, prioritising student and staff well-being, and fostering holistic education that emphasises inclusivity, impactful research and career-readiness. It takes a community to accomplish all this. And what a community we have!
We are inspiring the next generation of academics, workers, entrepreneurs and creatives from our local community, the UK and globally. We nurture talent wherever it is found and open doors for people with ambition. That means young people just setting out on their educational journey. Mature students looking to change their career or learn new skills. Refugees with no access to traditional education. It is anyone who has the talent and drive to achieve their ambitions, whatever their story. We are an inclusive University, committed to helping everyone.
The University of East London was founded in 1898 as the West Ham Technical Institute, a "people's university". It provided education to the working-class, women, and marginalised individuals who were excluded from opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Then, as now, technological change was revolutionising the global economy, and the Institute’s task was to ensure students were prepared to enter the world of work, give back to their communities, and create positive change in the world. Over the years, the institution has evolved, moving location, adding campuses and becoming a university but those original ambitions have remained at the heart of what we do.
Now on our 125th anniversary, we want to showcase some of the amazing people who've studied and worked here, reflecting on their incredible achievements and telling our fascinating story to the world.
