What is The Engineering and Design Institute London in UK?

The Engineering and Design Institute London (TEDI London) was an innovative engineering educational institute co-founded by Arizona State University, King’s College London, and UNSW Sydney. TEDI London has now transformed into ASU London, which is a higher educational institute accredited in the UK and offers new courses in computer science and business management in addition to its existing engineering courses.

Where is the campus located?

The location of the current campus is in Canada Water, which is in the area of South East London, close to London Bridge. From 2026, ASU London will relocate to a new central London campus at the Clerkenwell site of City St George’s University of London in the area of Islington. This will place students in the heart of a vibrant student area close to tech, design, and industry hubs.

What degrees are offered?

The ASU London campus delivers 3-year undergraduate courses in: 1. BEng (Hons) Global Design Engineering 2. BEng (Hons) Engineering with Artificial Intelligence 3. BEng (Hons) Engineering with Mechatronics Systems 4. BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering 5. BSc (Hons) Computer Science 6. BSc (Hons) Business and Management It also allows students to follow a 4-year Integrated MEng course in Global Design Engineering, or a UK undergraduate course and a 1-year accelerated master's course in the US at Arizona State University, gaining two international qualifications in 4 years.

How does the learning style work?

There are no traditional lectures. All learning is project-based and hands-on from day one. Students work in small teams on real-world industry and community projects focused on themes such as smart cities, sustainability, user-centred design, AI, and advanced manufacturing. This “learn by doing” model builds practical skills and a strong professional portfolio.

What is the class size and student support like?

Classes are deliberately kept small to ensure personalised attention, close faculty mentorship, and strong peer collaboration. The institute promotes a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment with dedicated academic and pastoral support for all students.

What are the tuition fees?

For international students (including Indian students), annual tuition fees for 2026–27 entry are approximately £23,600 per year for most undergraduate engineering and related programs. UK home fees are significantly lower (around £9,500–£9,800). Fees may vary slightly by year and program, always check the official ASU London website for the latest figures.

Is there a pathway to study in the USA?

Yes. Students can complete their 3-year UK bachelor’s at ASU London and then progress to a 1-year accelerated master’s degree at Arizona State University in the US (subject to meeting progression criteria). This unique UK–US pathway allows you to earn two degrees from world-class institutions in just four years.

When does the intake start?

The main intake is in September each year. Priority application windows are open, early applications are recommended as places are limited, especially for scholarships.

Are the degrees accredited?

Yes. Several programs, including Global Design Engineering, are accredited by professional bodies such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED). This puts graduates on the pathway toward Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status.

What visa do international students need?

International students (including from India) require a UK Student Visa. ASU London will provide a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) once you receive an unconditional offer and meet all conditions.

Is accommodation provided?

ASU London does not have on-campus accommodation but offers support and guidance to help students find suitable private student housing near the campus in London. The student support team assists with housing options, budgeting, and settling into life in the UK.
