ASU London is an accredited independent university in the UK, formerly known as TEDI-London. The institution offers bachelor's degree programs in popular scientific fields: computer and engineering sciences, business and management.

TEDI-London, an Institute of Engineering and Design in London, was founded in 2020 on the initiative of three institutions: Arizona State University, University of New South Wales in Sydney and King's College London. The universities wanted to create an educational organization with a specialization in engineering and an emphasis on modern technologies and practice. TEDI-London existed for several years and prepared hundreds of qualified specialists. In 2025, it was transformed and taken over by ASU. Today, the educational institution, operating under the new name ASU London, provides the same high—quality bachelor's degrees in engineering, modern approaches to the study of exact sciences, and diplomas in demand on the labor market. Academic activities have not undergone major changes during the transition under the auspices of ASU.

ASU London students receive not only a modern understanding of engineering professions, but also effective preparation for starting a career, and advantages for obtaining a master's degree in the future. Thanks to the university's cooperation with the ASU main department, students can obtain bachelor's and master's degrees in four years: after completing three years of study at ASU London, they transfer to master's programs at the American department and study for only one year. The bachelor's degree is accredited in the UK, and the master's degree is accredited in the USA, which expands the career opportunities of students. In addition to ASU, the institution cooperates with a global network of 30 universities offering exchange studies and unique programs in 28 countries.

Each student is surrounded by the necessary support, whether it's adapting the curriculum, finding internships or job opportunities, improving language skills, or personal difficulties. The Specialized Student Support Center offers assistance both on a first-come, first-served basis and by appointment.

From the first day of school, students are assigned personal mentors who help them set academic goals, adapt to university life, and resolve any issues. Meetings with the mentor are scheduled at least three times a year, more often if necessary. In addition to professional mentors, students join a general mentoring program where second- and third-year students support first-year students.

Employment is an important stage that completes education, which is why ASU London offers students a number of activities and services during their studies: sessions with specialists and industry representatives on employment issues, assistance in finding part—time jobs, and free access to Handshake, a specialized job placement and professional development platform.

Practice is the foundation of the educational process for every academic field offered at ASU London. Students create individual and group projects that become innovations or improve technologies already existing in the world. For example, over the past year, students have worked on:

• Tubeless bicycle tires that prevent punctures,
• A prototype airbag to reduce injury,
• Navigation systems,
• An app interface with interactive plant care tips,
• A vertical «compost tower» for watering and distributing solar energy,
• Devices for tracking air pollution.

These and other projects are developed in partnership with specialized organizations: Brompton, Smartyplants, Cityscape Digital British Land Hawkins Brown SMD Design ID, The Woodfield Community Centre CREW Energy, and others.

Like most London institutions, ASU London does not have its own residences and offers contacts from trusted private landlords. A wide range of housing options allows you to choose the right type, area, price and distance from the campus, to conclude a contract for the required period of time for the student. List of available List of available partner landlords is represented by:

All residential buildings are located near public transport stops and urban facilities, offering common areas and additional services for a comfortable stay. When booking accommodation with partner landlords, students receive a discount.

Some residential complexes offer meals, but mostly they are organized by students on their own. There are several cafeterias on campus where you can buy hot lunches, healthy snacks, and drinks.

Despite the intensive learning process, ASU London students devote time to entertainment, socializing and exploring the sights and cultural sites of London. Dozens of diverse events take place on campus throughout the year, from the Welcome Week at the beginning of the academic year, seasonal student parties and collective film nights to major hackathons, online competitions and community projects. In addition to general events, which also involve partner organizations and students from other institutions, students join themed clubs or create their own communities to develop ideas and talents. Today, the most popular communities are dedicated to social work, running, repair projects, and robotics.
