About Us

Cavell College – Local Roots, Global Futures

Cavell College London is a higher education institution rooted in East London, inspired by the values of service and learning associated with Edith Cavell. Guided by the ethos “Local Roots, Global Futures,” we are dedicated to providing accessible, career-focused education that empowers students from diverse backgrounds to achieve their goals and contribute to society.

We specialise in practical, industry-relevant programmes across health and social care, business, digital technologies, construction, creative industries, sustainability, and education. Our mission is to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity by ensuring our graduates are job-ready, confident, and equipped for success in a fast-changing world.

Welcome Message from the CEO

Welcome to Cavell College.
I am Md Shafiul Alam, CEO and Founder of Cavell College. Education has played a significant role in my own life and has shaped my belief that, with determination, support and the right opportunities, people can change the direction of their future.
My own journey involved continuing my education while working and managing wider responsibilities. I completed a BA and MA in Sociology from the University of Dhaka, followed by an MBA at Glyndŵr University London, and later a Graduate Diploma in Law and the Legal Practice Course at London Metropolitan University. That experience taught me that success does not always follow a straightforward path, and that it is never too late to learn, develop and begin again.

Message from the Executive Principal

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Cavell College London.

Our College has been founded with a clear purpose: to create opportunities through education and to enable people from all backgrounds to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to build successful futures.

Located in the heart of Aldgate, London, Cavell College is proud to be part of one of the most diverse, dynamic and ambitious communities in the country. Our identity is reflected in our aspiration of “Local Roots, Global Futures”. We want to remain firmly connected to the communities we serve while preparing our students to succeed in an increasingly interconnected and changing world.

I believe that talent and ambition are found everywhere, but opportunity is not always equally accessible. Higher education should open doors, create possibilities and enable individuals to realise their potential. At Cavell College, we therefore want to provide an inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment where students from different educational, cultural and professional backgrounds can thrive.

Our programmes will be shaped not only by academic standards, but also by the world beyond the classroom. East London is surrounded by extraordinary opportunities in healthcare and life sciences, business and finance, digital technologies, the creative industries and many other emerging sectors. Our ambition is to work closely with employers, professional communities and academic partners so that our students develop the practical skills, professional confidence and experience that will help them progress into meaningful employment and rewarding careers.

We also recognise that many of our students may be balancing education with work, family and other responsibilities. For that reason, accessibility and flexibility will be central to our approach. We want students to feel that higher education is something that can work for them, rather than something to which they must simply adapt.

As Executive Principal, my commitment is to ensure that academic quality, integrity and student success remain at the heart of Cavell College. We will build a culture where excellent teaching, strong academic standards, effective student support and continuous improvement are part of everything we do. We will listen to our students, support our staff and continually challenge ourselves to become better.

Our ambition extends beyond awarding qualifications. We want Cavell College to become an institution that contributes meaningfully to its community, supports social mobility, responds to local skills needs and creates pathways between education and opportunity.

Every student who joins us will bring their own story, aspirations and potential. Our responsibility is to help them take the next step with confidence.

I am enormously excited about the journey ahead and look forward to welcoming you to the Cavell College community.

Dr Shepherd Ziko
Executive Principal
