“Without bees, our ecosystem as it stands would cease to exist. I learned this at City’s beekeeping workshop, which is held monthly and welcomes staff and students alike. We had the opportunity to visit the beehives, on the roof of one of the campus buildings. It was encouraging to witness the dedication of the beekeepers, whose work ensures the wellbeing of the bees and supports biodiversity. Thanks to City’s commitment to sustainability, I have a new-found appreciation for bees and the need to protect our environment.” Aqeeb Munir BA History student, second year

Find out more about the work of the EAT-Lancet Commission and discover a new definition of healthy eating by visiting: www.city.ac.uk/globaldiet.

Saving the world’s endangered species with maths Mathematicians at City have created a new model, similar to one commonly found in the world of finance showing how to harvest species such as whales, bison, rhinos, birds and fish at an optimal rate, while making sure that the animals do not get wiped out by random environmental factors. See the full story at: www.city.ac.uk/savingrhinos.

“Black History Month is an important event in my calendar because past and present injustices continue to affect the lives of BAME students today. This, in turn, impacts us as a community. We cannot eradicate racial injustice in one month, but we can draw attention to its roots and begin to close the gap in attainment and reach full equality. This is why the Students’ Union remembers the social, political and economic contributions of the black diaspora every year, while celebrating the diversity of City’s student body.” Rania Salim BSc Economics graduate

“City’s international outlook took me to Mater Dei Hospital in Malta, where I undertook a two-week elective. As the hospital is visited by patients from across the island, I was exposed to a wide range of conditions and their treatments. This helped shape my perspective of global healthcare delivery and its role in different cultures, which I would not have appreciated if I did not study abroad.” Nikhil Shah BSc Radiography (Diagnostic Imaging) student, third year

“My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died a couple of days after my first exam at City. I didn’t really tell anyone at the time, I just bottled it all up. I considered dropping out of university but instead I turned to my friends and teammates on the City Men’s Rugby team for help. With their support, I became an advocate for mental health, setting up buddy systems in the City Men’s Rugby team. We have established a culture that allows anyone to come forward and ask for help. No one is turned away, no one is laughed at and no one is left behind.” Edward Armitage LLB Law graduate

“City has educated civil engineers for over 90 years. It is this history, as well as City’s close links with industry, which drew me here. The Professional Liaison Unit* and speed-networking events are just some of the opportunities available to us to understand better the professions that await us. This focus on career development is why City continues to invest in its facilities. Take the geotechnical centrifuge, for example, which is designed to help us develop the highly specialised skills needed for a sustainable career after we graduate.” Hazirah Ab Halim BEng Civil Engineering student, second year

All first-year students can choose to live in one of City’s modern and centrally located halls of residence. We offer a range of accommodation and, whether you want to live in halls or privately rented housing, our Student Centre’s Accommodation team can help.

Students inside a kitchen at Liberty Court, one of City’s student halls. www.city.ac.uk 35

Ensuring you find a room We guarantee a place for first-year undergraduates in halls of residence, providing you accept our offer of a full-time course and apply for accommodation no later than 30th June 2021 (for courses beginning in September 2021). You will also need to be 18 or older at the time of moving into Accommodation halls. The Student Centre will then confirm your place. Finding your place If you are holding City as an insurance offer and you change this to a firm acceptance before 30th June 2021, you must let the Accommodation team know so the

alteration can be recorded. Your application for Life City at accommodation will not be guaranteed until you have done so. If you do not want a place in halls, the University of London Housing Services can provide information to help you find accommodation in the private sector. Ideally you would need to view private housing prior to booking it. July and August are the best times to find private accommodation in London for the following academic year. Halls of residence Living with other students provides a great opportunity to meet new people from different courses and backgrounds. We have self-catered halls of residence located only a short walk from the main City buildings (locations are shown on the map at the back of this prospectus). Staffed by their own management team, each of our halls has private, modern study bedrooms and communal living spaces where you can cook, relax and feel at home. University of London Housing Services City students have full access to Private Housing Advisors, legal housing advice, a contract checking service and various housing events held throughout the year Temporary accommodation If you decide not to live in halls of residence and you require temporary accommodation while you look for a room in the private sector, the cost is likely to be at least £70 per night. Costs of private accommodation Private accommodation in central London can be expensive. Keep in mind that your heating, electricity and hot water expenses will probably not be included as part of your rent and you will also have to pay a refundable deposit. It may be less expensive to live further away, but this will mean you will have travel costs.

Melissa Dubé LLB Law, second year Being from Canada, I did not have the same exposure to UK universities as some of my peers and I was nervous when selecting City as my university of choice. However, studying Law in London has provided me with opportunities to network, which will prove to be invaluable when I graduate. I have no doubt my experience at City will lead me to a challenging and successful career. Therefore, I can say with confidence that I made the right choice.

Melvin Gyan LLB Law, second year My time at City has so far been delightful. I have made new friends and connections for life. I am enjoying the teaching and feel confident to ask the academics for assistance. They always find the time to provide me with in-depth explanations and have supported me to make the most of the learning and development opportunities available.
