'from' is preferable.

Should 'the' be added before 'University of London"?

 

[bhaisahab]

No.

 

[Matthew Wai]

'the University of York'── quoted from http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/university

Why 'the' can be used before 'University of York' but not before 'University of London'?

 

[bhaisahab]

It can be used. You asked if it should be used. There is no obligation to do so in the context of the OP's sentence.

 

[Matthew Wai]

No.

I wrongly took it to mean 'No, it should not be used because it is wrong.'

 

[Tdol]

I would use the University of London in that sentence.
