1878 – our history begins

Our history, different schools and colleges in north London came together to create the progressive and inclusive university that we are today. Our founding institution, St Katherine’s College, one of Britain’s first teacher training institutes opens its doors. This is where our passion for excellent and inspiring teaching started and today, we continue to train over 400 teachers annually.
