Records Management,

Dear Connect 
Thank you for your request for information, received 17 July. 
The University of London is a federal university comprising eighteen
self-governing member institutions and a number of central academic bodies
and activities. The individual colleges could also be able to provide
figures for their respective institutions.  Further details of these
bodies can be found at the following link:
[1]https://london.ac.uk/ways-study/study-ca...
 
I will be able to provide you with a response for the institutions
directly part of the ‘central’ University. Further details on our
structure can be found at the following link:
[2]https://london.ac.uk/about-us/how-univer...
The vast majority of our students are registered with the University of
London Worldwide. The University of London Worldwide provides degree
programmes through distance learning. Students who register with us do not
‘attend’ the University of London and are not required to visit the UK in
the course of their studies and assessment. Due to the nature of this
provision, University of London Worldwide does not keep records on the
number of students who are screen reader users or text to speech users,
only the number of visually impaired students.
 
The School of Advanced Study (student body c.270 postgraduates) and the
University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP) (student body c. 170 mix of
undergraduate and postgraduates) provide a on-campus teaching and research
supervision. 
You requested the following information:

The number of students are text to speech users 0

The total number of students c. 50,000
