Regent's University London

What Regent's University London does

Regent's University London is a private, not-for-profit higher education institution operating on a single 11-acre gated campus in the Inner Circle of Regent's Park, central London. It delivers foundation, undergraduate (BA Hons, BSc Hons, LLB Hons), postgraduate (MA, MSc, MProf, PGCert), English language, and short-term study abroad programmes through four academic schools — Arts and Culture, Business, Law, and Psychotherapy and Psychology — supplemented by the Regent's School of English. The institution serves approximately 2,500 students, of whom 80% are international and who represent 140+ nationalities, against a 34,000+ alumni network spread across 170+ countries. It is a member of the Galileo Global Education Group and operates under a stacked set of accreditations including TEF Silver, B Corp, AACSB, AMBA/BGA, CMI, APM, BPS, UKCP, and British Council Outstanding (2025).

The technology stack centres on Blackboard LMS for teaching, Microsoft SharePoint intranets for staff and students, and a custom Regent's mobile app for timetables, payments and campus information. Operations are supported by Flywire (exclusive global tuition payment partner covering 240+ countries and 130+ currencies), Enroly for CAS and visa processing, Acuity Scheduling for campus tour bookings, the SITS:Vision (eVision) portal for applications and applicant finance, and the proprietary Password Skills Plus online English proficiency test accepted for admissions. On-campus experiential assets include the Huckletree Innovation Lab, the Luxury Lab, Reid Hall accommodation, and the Future Founders programme; industry placements are delivered through Impact Consulting (in-term) and AIFS Abroad (post-term internships).

Revenue is anchored on tuition fees — undergraduate £24,500–£27,750 per year, postgraduate £11,000–£39,000, and certificates £5,700–£6,000 — supplemented by Reid Hall accommodation, the Regent's School of English (70+ nationalities in 2025), a seven-year in-house catering and events contract with B Corp caterer Houston & Hawkes (signed December 2024), and Regent's Boutique merchandise. Distribution is multi-channel: a direct online application portal, UCAS (code R18), a network of 50+ international agents, a global study abroad partner network, and on-campus open days and guided tours. The 2026/27 academic year also sees Regent's acting as the validating accreditation partner for NABA's new London campus at Here East and the launch of new Architecture, Law, AI, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Digital Marketing and Psychotherapy programmes.
