City's approach to education draws on more than 100 years of tradition tracing its origins back to 1894. The University gained its Royal Charter, and took the name The City University, in 1966. City has a strong focus on postgraduate education with around 40% of students on postgraduate programmes.
Taught programmes leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Law, Master of Health Management and to the Postgraduate Diploma qualification provide a structured programme of study. The programmes are designed to meet the needs of graduates working or intending to work in industry, commerce and public services, although many students also undertake such programmes in preparation for study for a research degree.
The University has more than 40 research centres, groups and units, bringing together expertise from various schools and departments in key areas, making these prestigious academic groups and excellent base for postgraduate study.
In the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, the Higher Education Funding Council for England rated 13 of City's research areas as being of 'international' or 'national' excellence.
