Decent uni. Building wise could be improved and isnt the very best but teaching wise it is really good, all the lecturers are good and know how to teach.

Underwhelmed in the social aspect of it all. Not enough places to chill and just have some down time to be honest. Most people just do it in the library

City is a fantastic university to attend. It has a hugely diverse campus and is very accepting of everyone from all cultures. The university holds itself to a very high standard and that shines through in the professionalism of the graduates.

Very employability focused uni with many top employers coming for workshops and talks so great for building your network. The careers dept is always happy to help with cvs, interviews etc and hold many events for developing skills and knowledge. Teaching has been great. The lecturers are always happy to help with queries and encourage one to one rather than emails to really develop your understanding and the tutorial teachers really know their stuff. Course (Economics) has a fair level of exams, coursework and practical work such as learning to use Stata for data analysis. Most students seem to commute in but the union still makes every effort to hold events, from freshers fair to animal farms to stress and relax events around exam times Societies are great at events, have to commend the City Tech Society who selflessly make use of their free time to hold events to teach students practical coding, and have networking events as well as hackathons. They're brilliant and really improved the uni experience for me.

Campus is great and integrated well despite being in different buildings. Can be a nightmare to navigate tho! Lovely lecturers and staff members. Tons of vegan/vegetarian/halal options as well.

It's really good to study here. Dedicated staff, cutting edge facilities and a good campus in a historic quarter of London. I feel like my master's is setting me up well for a future career and I have enjoyed it thoroughly so far.

Campus is boring, with little 'hang out' areas, minimal facilities. mainly consists of lecture theatres and small sitting areas, no real communal area. societies/events are also minimal and not very unique and attractive.

Very bad at getting timetables sorted but for the most part alright. Course is good and the university is under development so more is being done to better it

Good university, timetable land overly excessive work load eaves students with no social time and affects their mental health. Any person doing two tests a week every week begins to suffer.

I like my course at university and particularly like how small my classes are. I do a very hard course (Actuarial Science) and am impressed with the amount of extra classes I have (ie surgery hours and exercise classes). The campus is very small which has its advantages as it's very easy to get around. Sometimes it gets very crowded, especially the lower two floors of the library.

I absolutely love city university especially for its societies. As a first year student, I felt very uncomfortable in a brand new place, finding it hard to mingle. However due to the various societies and the effort made for freshers week. I was making friends in no time. Once lectures started, I was able to find the rooms easily and everyone was always willing to help even when they were busy. I can't wait for the next few years ahead.

I study management at city and overall it's an extremely positive experience. The university itself feels like a campus but with the benefit of still being in central London. The staff and students are also very friendly

Campus is clean and easy to get to by public transport and keeps growing which is always good. I am currently on the Law LLB course, the course and facilities are good and help if provided when needed . The students union is very helpful in providing advice and fun and creative ways of bringing students together with the large number of societies on campus there is something for everyone.

The university campus is very nice and clean and has many signs that help direct you to where you need to go. My course is adult nursing and I am enjoying it so far as we have had plenty of lectures and seminars and also practical lessons to help with the course in preparation for assignments and exams.

Let's speak about my course first. It's a very difficult course, very demanding course. In my first year, there was a very difficult module, in which the lecturer didn't provide lecture capture for. The students are paying £9,250 a year and we can't even get our lectures recorded for extra revision??? Of course, he did write down everything on the board in lectures, but the explanations were lost from time to time because I can't write as fast as some people, so lecture capturer in ALL lectures would be really helpful for every student. Secondly, I feel there's far too many class tests and courseworks in my course. It's difficult to manage my time and study efficiently when I have deadlines even from week 3. Thirdly, one of the only few great experiences I've had with the university is that one of my lecturers did really help me when I asked him questions via email. He taught a very difficult course and he helped me so much. And finally, the career service at my university is amazing and helped me completely change my CV and Cover Letter and apply for this work placement, and I was able to get a place.

Perfect environment to work for senior researchers. Very professional organisation with high standards and compliance structure.

The university has a wide range of courses which is good as it allows people to peruse many career types. However, the university as a whole has too many rules and regulation when it comes to external speakers, booking rooms, catering etc which makes it difficult to plan events. This as a result affects the social setting of the university

I like the campus and the facility are good. resources are good and helpful. However some lecturers are not that great. The tutorials are helpful. I like my course and the carreer service is really helpful

The location is great - Clerckenwell is perhaps the best part of central London, close to Shoreditch on one side and Old Street on the other, and walking distance to Covent Garden whilst being a great place for bars, restaurants etc on its own. The teachers at CASS Business Department are well-known, highly educated and experienced professors who motivate the students to thrive for knowledge. The course I am attending at the moment is Business Management. The first term included modules such as Business Economics, Fundamentals of Marketing, Critical Thinking and Introduction to Management. The lectures combined with tutorials give us a great opportunity to learn new ideas and theories in an effective way - through listening to the lecturers and solving problem sets afterwards during tutorials. Student union at City, University is a very lively institution, it feels like they have new ideas coming everyday! It's great for a school to have such a student union that cares about the students, environment, school and how to ease everyone's lives.

City university of London has many fun activities put in place by the student union. This proved to be extremely useful and refreshing during the examination season. Some sessions put in place includes a puppy petting session and a petting zoo in north Hampton square. There are also really good studying facilities out in pace by the uni for independent and group study. Some of these include free Woking areas, such as the ground level of the dysdale building had been recently renovated due to a student vite and had now become a spacious and modern group study area with two floors. Alternatives include, a six floor library with 3 silent study levels and group study rooms in the third floor of the libary m, which can be booked in advance

A non-campus university in the heart of London with modern resources and expanding facilities. Academic resources include a 5-floor library located in Northampton Square as well as Bloomberg terminals where relevant courses can be undertaken. While it is not the largest university, Law students benefit from the well-respected Pro-Bono society and Economics students gain relevant industry understanding from the more vocationally aimed course.
