Ours is a large and vibrant school with around 3,000 students (one third postgraduate) and 250 staff currently organised in seven academic departments: Economics, English, International Politics, Journalism, Music, Sociology and Psychology .

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.
