City University is ideally located in London and has great links with businesses in and around the city. As an undergraduate I did not even look at City. To be honest it didn't register on my radar, but as a postgraduate student I am impressed with the vast improvement. City rates very highly for employability yet still gives you a rounded university experience.

A word of warning - if you are after a 'campus based' university experience, particularly as an undergraduate then this is not the place for you. Many students live away from the area and it's easy to feel lost but that's part of the charm.

So don't disregard City. If you are interested in studying Journalism, Law or a Social Sciences subject then look no further. Plus you've got the top rated Cass Business School.

Only 4 stars as there is no reason for complacency. City must keep itself where it is and build upon recent successes.City University is ideally located in London and has great links with businesses in and around the city.

I've been coming here for a little over a year, attending the acrobatics courses, which are taught by gymnastics instructors in a purpose-built sprung room. In addition to this they also cover acrobatic balancing, clown skills, tight-rope, flying trapeze and many more. Basically if you've seen it in a contemporary circus, they probably have it - although I've yet to see a bearded lady or a lion tamer.

On the briefer side, they also offer half and full day workshops on circus skills and western skills (lasso, whip etc) - perfect for trying out a number of disciplines and excellent as gift ideas. For the more serious they run masterclasses, long-term courses and even degree programs.

This is an excellent resource and Hoxton's lucky to have it. I encourage anyone who wants to try something a little physical and very different to give it a goI've been coming here for a little over a year, attending the acrobatics courses, which are taught by gymnastics instructors in a purpose-built sprung room.
