Spring 2021 Entry

City is accepting applications for entry in Spring 2021.  Applicants will need to be aware that the majority of our teaching is expected to be online, and there are likely to still be travel restrictions to the UK, and for travelling around Europe.  We have produced a guide to what students should expect about our teaching and life in London which you can read here.

It is possible to apply directly to City, via agreements with individual US and other overseas institutions or through a number of Study Abroad programme providers.
