City, University of London is a global University committed to academic excellence, with a focus on business and the professions and an enviable central London location.

Professor Paul Curran has been Vice-Chancellor of City University London since 2010. The University has several other academic sites within central London. Bayes Business School is located in Bunhill Row, the City Law School at Gray’s Inn and the Fight for Sight Optometry Clinic is in Old Street.
