  • Our Origins

    London Global Education (LGE) was established in 2024 by a team of stakeholders with decades of experience supporting Chinese students on their pathways to UK universities, particularly through high-quality A-Level preparation.

    In response to the evolving expectations of international learners—and the changing global education landscape where students and parents increasingly prioritise return on investment (ROI) and future employability—LGE launched the Level 3 International Foundation Programme as a forward-thinking and impactful pathway.

    Bringing together the strengths of British and Chinese educational expertise, our programme cultivates a truly global learning community and nurtures the next generation of internationally minded leaders.

    Our curriculum prioritises holistic development, moving beyond an exam-focused model to emphasise active learning, critical thinking, and real-world application. Students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and develop the skills needed for success in UK higher education and future careers.

    LGE’s strategic partnerships with leading Chinese education groups—spanning national conglomerates to specialist high-quality providers—have significantly expanded our reach and strengthened our delivery capability.

    Our student-centred approach, grounded in personalised support and flexible progression pathways, continues to resonate with students, parents, and institutional partners, especially as families seek trusted routes with clear academic and career outcomes.

    With projected enrolment growth from 50 to 500 students by 2028, LGE is positioned for strong expansion and a promising future in international education.

  • Our Vision

    London Global Education (LGE) adopts a multifaceted approach to ensure student priorities remained central to all interactions with both students and institutional partners. A cornerstone of this approach was the development of the Level 3 International Foundation Programme, a student-focused initiative designed to bridge the gap between international student aspirations and UK university expectations.
    The programme's curriculum, crafted with input from both British and Chinese academic experts, emphasises not just academic excellence but also cultural exchange and personal development, reflecting a deep understanding of student needs.
    LGE also prioritised personalised support, implementing a system of personal tutors for each student and ensuring university partners delivered in-house support services. This network of support was rigorously overseen by LGE, with student satisfaction and outcomes integrated into the overall quality framework, demonstrating a commitment to student well-being and success.
    Furthermore, LGE enhanced its engagement with institutional partners by providing detailed, transparent information about student experiences and progression routes. This helped manage student expectations and ensured partners were aligned with LGE’s student-centric philosophy. By offering diverse progression routes and focusing on subject specialisms, city choices, and career aspirations, LGE empowered students to make informed decisions, reinforcing their commitment to placing student priorities at the heart of their operations.
