Profile - Overview:
Thames Valley University draws on a heritage of 150 years in teaching and professional education. First founded as the Lady Byron School in 1860, the institution as it exists today was originally formed from the merger of Ealing College of Higher Education, Thames Valley College of Higher Education, the London College of Music and Queen Charlotte's College of Health Care Studies.

In 1991, this new entity was inaugurated as the Polytechnic of West London. The following year, the Privy Council bestowed full university status and TVU was born. TVU has grown through a number of mergers, including with the Northwick Park School of Nursing, Riverside College of Nursing and the North West Thames Regional Health Authority's AIDS Unit in 1994, Berkshire College of Nursing and Midwifery in 1995, and with Reading College and School of Art and Design in 2004.

From the outset, the University has played and continues to play a significant role in the educational, cultural and economic life of its region. TVU now has three campus locations in West London (Brentford and Ealing), Reading and Slough.

The University is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the learning and Skills Council (LSC) and the NHS to deliver education and training courses at further, higher and postgraduate level. As well as boasting a strong vocational emphasis in its work, TVU also maintains an extraordinarily diverse portfolio, both in the range of subjects and the levels of provision offered.
