City, University of London

City, University of London is the University of business, practice and the professions.
City attracts around 20,000 students (over 40 per cent at postgraduate level) from more than 150 countries and staff from over 75 countries. In recent years City has made significant investments in its academic staff, its infrastructure, and its estate.
City’s academic range is broadly-based with world-leading strengths in business; law; health sciences; mathematics; computer science; engineering; social sciences; and the arts including journalism, dance and music.
Our research is impactful, engaged and at the frontier of practice. In the last REF (2021) 86 per cent of City research was rated as world leading 4* (40%) and internationally excellent 3* (46%).
We are committed to our students and to supporting them to get good jobs. City was one of the biggest improvers in the top half of the table in the Complete University Guide (CUG) 2023 and is 15th in UK for ‘graduate prospects on track’.
Over 150,000 former students in 170 countries are members of the City Alumni Network.
In February 2024, City, University of London and St George’s, University of London signed an agreement to merge, creating a powerful multi-faculty institution.

The combined university will become one of the largest suppliers of the health workforce in the capital, as well as one of the largest higher education destinations for London students.

Subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, the merged institution will be called City St George’s, University of London and will begin operating from 1 August 2024 – although full integration will take longer.

The combined institution will be led by Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein, the current President of City.
