  • Deposit Scheme in Place So That We Can Help You Make Your Case
    Advice & Guidance Housing Advice Deposits Before you move into a property, you may be required by the Landlord and/or agency to pay various sums of money. It is important to know what these payments are for; whether they are returnable and if so, how to get them back. Agency Fees If you find accommodation through an estate agent, it is likely that you will be charged for the service. The important thing to remember is that you can only be charged if and when an agent is successful in finding you somewhere to live. It is a criminal offence for an agent to ask for money simply to register your name and/or requirements. If an agent asks for money prior to finding accommodation, ask further questions! Retainers This is a non-returnable payment made to the Landlord by a prospective tenant who wishes to move into the accommodation at a later date, and is commonly half-rent (although there are no restrictions on the amount that can be asked for). In the period covered by the retainer leading up to the start of your tenancy, the Landlord has complete access to the property - including the right to rent it out to others. Tenancy Deposits/Damage Deposits/Security Deposits This is a sum of money which is required to act as security in case you damage the Landlord’s property or furnishings. It can also be used to cover unpaid bills, unpaid rent, cleaning and missing items. Your tenancy agreement should state clearly how much the deposit is and what it covers.

    University of London Statement of Case in Support of The Camden (Torrington Place to Tavistock Place) (Prescribed Routes, Waiting and Loading Restrictions and Parking Places) Traffic Order [2017]. Planning Inspectorate Reference: DPI/X5210/17/8 1. The University of London wishes to publicly state its support for the Camden (Torrington Place to Tavistock Place) (Prescribed Routes, Waiting and Loading Restrictions and Parking Places) Traffic Order [2017]. Context: 2. The University of London consists of 18 independent Member Institutions with outstanding global reputations and several prestigious central academic bodies and activities. The Member Institutions are considered universities in their own right; they set their own entrance criteria for their courses and they offer their own services to students. Some now also have their own degree awarding powers. 3. All students from all of the Member Institutions are also University of London students, making them part of a community of over 170,000 students, 120,000 based in London and 50,000 internationally through the University of London International Academy. University of London Estate: 4. The central University's first charter dates from 1836, and as a separately incorporated body, it owns land independently of the Colleges and, since the 1920s, has acquired and developed progressively a considerable Estate in Bloomsbury north of the British Museum. 5. The central University's Estate is in a variety of occupations and is not limited to accommodating the academic Institutes, student residencies, central services and central offices. Some Colleges have their main holdings in University-owned property on the central precinct or nearby. The central precinct of 12 hectares freehold land in Bloomsbury includes the Senate House, the central University building.

  • MA in Cultural and Intellectual History 1300–1650
    MA in Cultural and Intellectual History 1300–1650 warburg.sas.ac.uk About the degree The Warburg Institute MA in Cultural and Intellectual History aims to equip students for interdisciplinary research in the late medieval and early modern period, with a particular emphasis on the reception of the classical tradition. Students will become part of an international community of scholars, working in a world-famous library. They will broaden their range of knowledge to include the historically informed interpretation of images and texts, art history, philosophy, history of science, literature and the impact of religion on society. During this twelve-month, full-time course, students will improve their knowledge of Latin, French and Italian and will acquire the library and archival skills essential for research on primary texts. Although it is a qualification in its own right, the MA is also designed to provide training for further research at doctoral level. It is taught through classes and supervision by members of the academic staff of the Institute and by outside teachers. The teaching staff are leading academics in their field who have published widely. Research strengths include: changes in philosophical trends between the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment; early modern material culture; and forms of religious non-conformism in sixteenth- and seventeenth- century Europe. For further details on the research interests of teaching staff see the module table in this leaflet or visit warburg.sas.ac.uk/about/people/teaching-staff “I came to study at the Warburg with a modicum of trepidation, due to the overwhelming reputation that precedes and surrounds the Institute.
