The School of Informatics welcomes international students
City University's success is demonstrated by its graduate employment record; fifth in the UK for graduate employability (The Times Good University Guide 2008). We are also the sixth most popular university in the UK for student applications.
Our reputation extends worldwide: of almost 10,000 City University London students, more than 40 per cent are international, the majority of these from outside the European Union.
The School of Informatics at City University has delivered a professional education to over two thousand computing and IT students since the millennium. We are at the forefront of international excellence and leadership in education and research for the information and computing professions.
Our professionally-oriented portfolio of degrees and industry experience equip graduates with the vital skills and knowledge required for a successful start or development of their careers.
The School’s graduate employability ranking is excellent: 73.8% of our computing and IT undergraduates were employed within six months of graduation (national average 64.1%, HESA data 2005).
The School’s research directly informs teaching. In the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) over 85% of the School's academic staff were ranked at 4 or 5, indicating research of international and national excellence in almost all areas.
Students also benefit from working in a £12m state-of-the-art, purpose-built space in City University's historic College Building, which includes specialist teaching rooms, a SAP Product lab and a high-tech Human Computer Interaction Design lab supported by The Vodafone UK Foundation.
