London Metropolitan University Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship
The London Metropolitan University has been
set up during the year 1848 with strong educational background and roots. The
merging that happened between two universities present in the United Kingdom
(UK) namely the London Guildhall University and the University of North London
in 2002 has now created the London metropolitan University as you see it today.
But the background of the university still lies in the fact that it was the
pioneer in establishing the famous Metropolitan Evening classes for the young
men studying various evening classes at the University.
