Services for Students
*City is the only university in the UK to have its Student Centre recognised by The Institute of Customer Service. In 2010, we were awarded ICS ‘ServiceMark’ accreditation in recognition of excellent service delivery to students. In 2011 we were winners in the Times Higher Education Leadership & Management Awards in the category of Outstanding Student Services Team.
Student Centre
Our award-winning* Student Centre provides a range of excellent support services for students, including information on housing, finance, health, learning support and sport and leisure.
Library services
City provides access to a large selection of printed resources, substantial electronic resources and a wide range of flexible services across its five site libraries.
IT Services
The IT team helps students to access IT and audio-visual facilities, expertise and support across the University, including the cross-campus wireless network.
Learning Development Centre
The Learning Development Centre supports students by providing: access to the e-portfolio, Pebble Pad; supervision for dissertation projects; and help with technological equipment.
Careers
City has a comprehensive range of careers services available to students, including an online Vacancy Board, and advice on career planning, job hunting, writing a cv and psychometric tests.
Volunteering
We facilitate a range of volunteering opportunities for students, as we believe that this is an excellent way for students both to participate in community projects and improve their career prospects.
Mentoring
We organise a professional mentoring scheme whereby established professionals help students to develop their skills in searching and applying for jobs, and preparing for interviews.
See our Services for Students Guide for more information about support available for City students.
