Is Imperial College better than City, University of London?

City University of London admits international students primarily in the following intakes each year:

• September/October (Fall Intake)

• January/February (Winter Intake)

• Additionally, some programs may offer a May/June (Summer Intake) for select courses, but this is less common compared to the other two

Applicants are advised to submit applications well in advance to apply because of the moderate acceptance rate of the university and the limited number of seats. Moreover, applicants must also ensure completeness of the application before submission.

According to unofficial sources, the acceptance rate of CITY University of London stands at around 55%. This means out of 100 students applying to the university, almost 55 are admitted. This shows that the admission process of the university is moderately selective. The university admits people based on their profile as submitted during the application process.
