City, University of London

City believes that to produce world-leading research, students need world-class equipment and facilities. City has invested £150 million in responsive learning environments, new technologies, library and study spaces and its staff over the past ten years.

Highlights for students include:
•    Airbus cockpit simulator, micro turbines and formula car simulator in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics
•    State-of-the-art 3D OCT camera used in City’s own opticians, City Sight, which is open to the public
•    A fully equipped recording studio, composition studio, performance space and rehearsal rooms in the Department of Music
•    A brand new building for The City Law School, featuring a dedicated law library and study spaces, a mock courtroom, and an in-house legal clinic.
 
As part of the University of London, students also get access to a wide network of library, social and sports facilities.

London is one of the most culturally diverse and vibrant cities in the world. Hundreds of thousands of students come to the capital from across the world to study here.
 
City is right at the heart of it all in Islington, a bohemian area of London known for its many independent shops, bars and restaurants. At the doorsteps of the historic City of London
and Tech City – Europe's largest cluster of digital startups, City students are never far from the exciting experiences and enriching opportunities that London has to offer. 
 
City’s main campus is just a short tube or bus ride into central London, with its diverse range of theatres, world leading galleries and museums and famous attractions. If all that hustle and bustle gets a little too much, London is home to over 3,000 parks and open areas for you to relax in. Or you can hop on a train and visit any number of the UK’s fantastic cities and towns.

Applications for the majority of postgraduate courses are made directly to City through the relevant course webpage. 

Most courses do not have a fixed application deadline and operate on a rolling admission basis. Early applications are recommended, as competition for places is strong and applications close when the course is full, as offers are made upon receipt of application.

Entry requirements
You will be considered for most postgraduate courses with a good Chinese bachelor’s degree from a recognised university. For some degrees, professional qualifications and employment experience may be required, but also may be considered alongside or instead of an undergraduate degree. 

One of City’s greatest strengths is their links to business and industry and expanding these links is central to their future strategy. City offers skills-focused degrees that embed employability within the curriculum and was recently ranked 6th in London for graduate prospects (Complete University Guide 2022). Alongside employability, City are focused on setting up new interdisciplinary research centres that will produce solutions to some of the biggest challenges that society faces.
 
City’s specialist careers service helps students discuss plans at personal appointments and group workshops, get advice on preparing a CV, job application form or LinkedIn profile, or attend a mock interview. City has strong links with major employers, who give regular presentations, attend career fairs and run student skills sessions.
 
Ties to both UK and international businesses provide networking and career opportunities for postgraduate students. City has also signed up to The Concordat, which is an agreement to improve the employment and support for research staff.
