We are proud of our role in co-founding TEDI-London and of being an integral part of its journey in providing innovative, project- and problem-solving-based engineering and design learning in a diverse and inclusive environment. We are delighted to celebrate this next step in TEDI-London’s journey to ASU London and are excited to see the initiative continue to flourish under the expert stewardship of ASU and their partner Cintana.

King's welcomes the launch of ASU London, the next stage of TEDI-London
ASU London is the next step in the journey of The Engineering & Design Institute London (TEDI-London) – an engineering education initiative founded by King’s College London, Arizona State University and UNSW Sydney – the three partners of the PLuS Alliance.
TEDI-London, was launched in 2020 as a new way of thinking about engineering education by delivering innovative, project-based degrees in engineering - including Engineering with AI, Engineering with Mechatronics Systems and Global Design Engineering.
King’s has played a key role in nurturing TEDI’s success, which was created in response to the international shortage of engineers, delivering graduates who can offer a broad range of perspectives when it comes to solving ever-pressing global challenges.
Building on the success of TEDI-London, ASU London, which will be led by Arizona State University and Cintana, will deliver degree programmes that will combine a three-year UK bachelor’s degree from ASU London with a choice of one-year accelerated master’s degrees at Arizona State University in the US. ASU London will incorporate TEDI-London’s programmes in engineering, alongside new degree offerings in business management, computer science and electrical and electronic engineering.
Professor Sir Bashir M. Al-Hashimi CBE FREng FRS, Vice President (Research & Innovation) said: “We look forward to continuing to collaborate closely with ASU as our PLuS Alliance partner—drawing on one another’s expertise and exploring new ways of thinking and problem-solving."
ASU London will welcome its first cohort of students in September 2026. More information is available here.
