International Women's Day

2019 is 151 years since women were admitted to the University of London for a ‘special examination’ course – the first time in Britain that women had access to a university education.

City's Extraordinary women

Here we celebrate some of the great many whose work or study at City forms part of a remarkable story of achievement. These women inspire us because they’ve been ready to try, to challenge and to lead; making life better for others and pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished.
