How to apply

Admission via a Foundation year and IELTS. Master's admission is based on your bachelor's degree.

How admission to City, University of London works, step by step:

  1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — finance, IT, Law and business — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
  2. Language certificate. Usually IELTS; the exact score depends on the university and program.
  3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
  4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for the UK is arranged. We handle this stage end to end.

After 11 years of school. Not directly: bachelor programs require 12-13 years of schooling. A university Foundation year (one year) or A-levels (two years) close the gap. Master programs accept bachelor diplomas directly.
