The University of London

The University of London is the UK’s largest provider of international distance and online learning and the convenor of a federation of 17 London-based universities, many of which are among the highest-ranking universities in the world.

Collectively the federation represents a cohort of some 250,000 learners and 50,000 academic and professional services staff. Within this cohort are around 40,000 University of London students who study programmes which are developed and delivered in partnership with our 17 federation members.

The University of London is also home to the School of Advanced Study, the national centre for the humanities and a champion for the arts and humanities.

Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global.

Our passion for increasing access to education and mobilising the collective power and expertise of the federation is central to our ability to transform lives around the world and address the global challenges of the future.

The Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement team

The University is now planning a new campaign focused on the transformation of our iconic Senate House Library. Based in Senate House, it is one of the UK’s largest libraries for arts, humanities, and social scienceshome to 2 million books, 50 special collections, and 1800 archival collectionsand it serves students from across the federation.

Since the inception of the Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement team in 2015, we have built our engagement activities and systems and now have an established community of more than 200,000 contactable alumni, donors and prospects the majority of whom are outside of the UK.

It is a great time to join our team and be part of a successful campaign while enhancing your career with a globally recognised institution.

You’ll be a key part of our Philanthropy Operations team, ensuring donations are accurately processed, data is pristine, and insight flows freely across our organisation. Crucially, your work will empower colleagues, engage donors and underpin strategic decisions across our university-wide campaigns.
