City University London has exceptionally good links with business and the professions. We are in the top 10 in the UK both for graduate employability (according to The Times Good University Guide 2011) and graduate starting salaries (The Sunday Times University Guide 2011).
We have a long tradition of academic excellence, dating back to our foundation in 1894. We are ranked in the top 5% of universities in the world according to The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2011 and ranked 8th out of London universities in The Sunday Times University Guide 2011.
Our staff and students are actively involved in pioneering research, which takes place in centres that bring together expertise in key areas. Our academics include some of the world's leading researchers, while 33% of City students are undertaking postgraduate degrees or research programmes.
Over 80% of our submitted research is internationally excellent and the 2008 Research Assessment Excercise (RAE) identified 15 areas of academic activity where it was assessed as achieving world-leading quality in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
