University of London
The University of London was founded in 1836 to promote access to higher education. We pioneered distance learning across the globe. We were the first University in the world to admit students regardless of their gender, race or religion. In 1878 we were the first UK university to award degrees to women. Improving access and equality of opportunity remains our mission to this day.
The University of London is a world-leading university with around 40,000 students studying across more than 190 countries. We are a national leader in the humanities, and we promote their value to society and the economy through knowledge creation and exchange. We are also a federation of 17 esteemed higher education institutions, with collaboration at the heart of our ethos.
We want to connect our suicide prevention work with other organisations to multiply our impact and create suicide-safer communities.
We are committed to ensuring that students and staff at the University of London are as suicide-safe as possible; to promoting positive mental health in every aspect of the University culture and experience; and to making wellbeing part of the language of higher education.
