Scholarship benefits
The scholarship is for the ONE named person and London Met will not be responsible for a scholar's family members/spouse/children, etc. and if a scholar wishes to have a family member accompany him/her, they need to be aware that the University does not recommend this as the scholar, not the University, will be solely responsible and they will be required to pay for the additional family member/s, not London Met who accepts no liability.

Students are allowed to work part-time, in accordance with their visa conditions, to help support themselves during their studies. The University provides an excellent Careers guidance service and students interested in finding out information on jobs available, interview tips, employment opportunities, etc. should take advantage of this service by visiting them at: /student-services/careers/current/home.cfm
