About Us

Day in, day out, year in and year out, City transforms the lives of around 20,000 students, creates new knowledge, supports business and the professions, and contributes to the global good of society.

•  3rd in London for student satisfaction
• 75% of submitted research rated world-leading,
• 4th in London and 13th in the UK in the People and Planet University League

Based in the heart of London, close to the Square Mile and Tech City and in the design hub of Clerkenwell, we are proud of our heritage and links with business:

• The Lord Mayor of London is our Rector
• City of London livery companies are among our founders and long-standing supporters

Professional bodies and organisations help develop our courses and facilities, offering excellent opportunities for work experience, enhancing the career prospects of our graduates.

Our outlook is global: around half our students come from outside the UK and our research has worldwide impact, while our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility runs through everything we do.
