OELS is the UK campus of OMNES Education Group, a higher education group and research institution based in France, with a network of 40,000 students across multiple countries.
Located in London’s Marylebone Village, OELS operates as a study abroad campus for students from OMNES Education Group’s schools. It offers short, English-taught programmes with a particular focus on cultural immersion, international exposure, and professionally oriented learning, aiming to support students' personal and professional growth through interdisciplinary learning, global engagement, and innovative teaching practices.
OELS delivers more than 20 semester-length courses in subject areas including business, management, engineering, international relations, and communication. These are taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and are delivered in accordance with both French and UK academic standards.
The curriculum at OELS combines academic content with real-world engagement, including guest talks, company visits, cultural outings, and sessions with professionals, each year welcoming over 100 speakers from fields including business management, engineering, finance, political science, advertising, and luxury.
This multidisciplinary model, delivered in small group settings in the heart of London, is designed to create a learning experience that is academically focused, internationally minded, and professionally relevant.
