International Student Registration Process As an incoming international student at City, University of London, I feel compelled to share my observations regarding the preliminary registration process. Please note that this review is focused specifically on the initial stages of registration and does not reflect my overall experience with the university. Communication Challenges: One of the most significant hurdles I’ve encountered is the difficulty in contacting representatives from departments dealing with funding, student loans, and tuition for international students. Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to reach anyone via phone, and the switchboard operators have been unable to assist effectively. This lack of direct communication has made the process of finalising my transition to the UK overwhelmingly stressful. Response Times: When emails are sent, students are advised to wait 5 to 10 business days for a response. Unfortunately, responses received are often insufficient, requiring further clarification and additional waiting time. This cycle of waiting and uncertainty has been particularly frustrating given the approaching start of the academic term. Registration Timing: We are nearing the start of the academic year, and yet critical registration issues remain unresolved. The process, which began in early August, has not seen the necessary progress, with less than two weeks until term starts. This delay is concerning, especially considering the high stakes and expenses involved for international students. Suggestions for Improvement: 1. Enhanced Communication Channels: It would be beneficial for the university to improve their communication channels. This could include having dedicated staff to handle international student inquiries during peak registration periods. 2. Increased Staffing: Given the volume of enquiries during registration, additional support staff could help manage the workload and ensure that responses are timely and accurate. 3. Streamlined Processes: Simplifying and expediting the registration process could alleviate stress and help international students transition more smoothly into their new academic environment. Whilst this review reflects only the initial stages of my experience, it is crucial for prospective international students to be aware that patience will be necessary during the registration process. It is my hope that the university considers these observations to improve the process for future students. Despite these challenges, I remain hopeful for a positive overall experience at City, University of London.
My experience is related to being a postgrad research student. I have previously studied at 3 other universities prior. My student learning experience has massively been disrupted by constant redevelopments every year. For a long time refurbishments have caused extremely loud drilling including over exam seasons, making many 'learning' spaces completely unusable. Sometimes, whole sections of the library have been closed too. Also, within some of their assistive technology rooms, the doors sometimes do not work when you tap the ID, meaning you are stuck there. This is a huge safety concern should there be a fire and you are disabled. There is also an ongoing mice problem, which adds to the disappointment as it raises many health and safety concerns and also how this hasn’t been addressed after 2 years. I have additionally had consistent IT difficulties with computers across campus over the last year. Either they freeze or are very slow, don’t work or I have difficulty signing on. I have reported these instances each time, however the problems soon return a month or two later. I don't understand how this can be an ongoing problem at a university. I wish they would invest more into resources here and bring in better computers. I also would say training opportunities have been satisfactory, but nothing great. As a postgrad though, looking to gain skills and opportunities to progress my career I would expect more from City University as what has been on offer over the years, as it has been limited compared to other universities. Investing and caring more into how students learn best, the actual student experience, professional and academic development opportunities, I believe all outweigh more than constantly renovating buildings for long periods every year and having poor IT systems. It appears spending is more focused on external than internal students. I’m left disappointed and dissatisfied with my experience as a PhD student at City, and I hope things improve for prospective students.
It’s been over five years since I did my MA in non fiction creative writing at City, but the memories have stayed with me. I met a great bunch of mature aged students here, the location was central and leafy, and easily accessible by tube and bus. Some of the lecturers were encouraging. All of the lecturers and tutors had backgrounds in journalism and I think this affected their views on ‘how one should write’. They struggled with non-chronological structures and were often fixated on details, as in line by line edits, rather than metaphor, abstraction or the bigger picture. The most unsettling bit was the written feedback I received on my final submission. The second marker Lisa, someone we hadn’t met during the degree, basically accused my deceased grandfather of being corrupt, lectured me on so-called war propaganda, despite it not being a subject in my writing, and when we did meet at the anthology event, she made a joke at my expense I realised this later. I felt her behaviour was really unprofessional. And I also heard from two student friends that Lisa, a fiction writer, suggested to them that they write their non-fiction stories as fiction! On the whole, the MA was quite an experience, something I’ll never forget. I don’t regret doing it, but I do wish some things had been different.
I studied law here for 3 years and graduated in 2018. The university facilities and resources are excellent. There are lots of great, supportive teachers who encourage you, which outweigh the few that aren't that great. Being realistic, there is always gonna be a couple of teachers you don't really like. The course was challenging and I had several breaking points during those 3 years, but that was the nature of the degree, and at least the support was there when I needed it. Either way, it whipped me into shape and I became a better academic for it. There is a lot of additional support for extra-curriculars, scholarships, social events, internships, mentoring, and the mental health support team were excellent. The university has a lot of diversity and it was easy to make friends and have a social life. I wish the societies had a bit more of an active presence but they seem a little neglected. Nevertheless, I met some of the most influencial mentors during my time there, and I owe so much to the wisdom of the people I connected to through this Uni. I think this University is actually one of the best in London truthfully, especially if you want to study something corporate or technical or something that is realistically going to get you employed in a position you want though it took some patience bc London job market sucks for everyone. The networking opportunities are A1. I genuinely don't think I'd be as far along in my career had I gone to King's or something. I know people who went to King's etc and because of the lack of support and their notoriously bad admin, they got very low grade jobs. So much for ranking?? lol. If you are going to study a hard degree, you need to be in a University that cares about you and can get you places, and I feel like City does value education, employability, and the wellbeing of it's students.
A multi sited university campus based in the city area of London. Attended for an open day. The multiple sites revolve around a central green area and have interlinked walkways between each site. A semi modern site with a 5 level library but clean and presentable inside. Has approx 3 tube stations near by but approx 10min walk to each. Nice place
I'd say one of the best Universities in London. A world class in the heart of London. It's big. They have all the necessities. And many more around the campus. As a Londoner I'm proud that we have a university such as City University of London.
Excellent staff and modern facilities. Course MA GPE structure is well planned with up-to-date content.
they have a professor on staff who aggressively verbally absused a woman in a public spacecafe. the whole incident was recorded. he threatened to call the police on her for bomb threats of which she made none. the only thing she did was have a 'free gaza' sticker on her laptop. after seeing videos of the entire event circulate the web, the hate crime being widely circulated they did LITTERALLY nothing. the professor remains protected for his hate crime. is still in the payroll. this is a disgusting institution do not give them your money.
Excellent staff and modern facilities. Course structure is well planned with up-to-date content. I would highly recommend due to its variety of courses.
If you are looking to study in London and obtain a degree without spending too much money, this college may be an option for you. However, it is important to choose your subject wisely and research existing & past student reviews and most importantly the professors and lecture staff. City used to be the established university for the skills in the City: Finance, Insurance, Businesses etc but i think that claim is spurious these days with more specialist Business School competition in this area. The location is also going to cost you as much in transport costs as the costs of the course itself, before you even get into the hunt for decent affordable accommodation. These days, it is just as efficient and far more cost effective to create your own course or mimic prestigious college course syllabus and self-learn at home, using recommended textbooks, libraries, and online resources & courses. Especially if you are going on to professions that have their own exam structure. University degrees are not essential for most of these professions anyway and can be superfluous and time wasting. Law, Accountancy, Finance, Actuarial, etc Unless you can afford the best prestigious brand colleges, physical universities are becoming obsolete and extremely poor value for money, especially in expensive international cities.”
