O2 London Announces University Partnership
A partnership brokered by AEG Global Partnerships sees CU London Greenwich, part of the Coventry University Group, become The O2’s official Higher Education Partner.
“The year-long partnership will raise awareness of the CU London Greenwich campus and variety of courses amongst The O2’s visitors and workforce,” according to a press release.
The campus of CU London Greenwich is located right next to the iconic venue. Through this partnership it aims to maximize engagement and participation at the campus, and provide O2 visitors an opportunity to learn more about its courses.
With no-end-of-year exams, and the majority of courses having six start dates, CU London Greenwich wants to offer prospective students maximum flexibility, even if they are already working a part-time job or have family responsibilities. It also highlights its “competitive pricing.”

Scott Adams, senior sales manager at the O2 for AEG Europe, who was instrumental in securing this partnership, is a Coventry University Group alumni.
