Our mission

We aim to:

  • enrich the lives and enhance the career prospects of our students.
  • provide a first-class education and student experience which is inspiring, innovative and engaged with the world beyond academia
  • produce world-class research of benefit to society and our students and with global reach
  • provide innovative and distinctive programmes of study
  • shape the public sphere, through our research, knowledge exchange activities, our graduates, and our academics
  • embrace the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities.

Investing in Arts and Social Sciences

City is investing massively in the Arts and Social Sciences. Over the next five years, the School will increase academic staff and student numbers by a third, and develop research and teaching strengths in new subject areas at City – Politics and Modern History. We will also invest in becoming a major centre for quantitative social science in London.
