Why choose Cass?

For UK and International undergraduate students, Cass offers a world-class education, a high quality student experience and an excellent pathway to graduate employment, all based in the heart of the City of London.

Here are six great reasons for studying at Cass:

1. Highly ranked

We have been ranked 1st in London and 3rd in the UK by the Guardian four years in a row. We’re very proud that we do well in plenty of league tables – particularly those that concentrate on universities who deliver a top quality student experience, and get their students into the best jobs at the best companies. 

2. Our London location

If you want to play as hard as you work, where better than London? It is one of the world’s great cities, offering all you could ask for in terms of socialising, culture, entertainment and sport. If you want to earn a meaningful degree in a dynamic, world class location, Cass is the place for you.

3. Ties to the City of London

Our programmes are constantly evolving to meet the needs of an ever-changing business world. They are delivered within the context of a vibrant, diverse and multinational environment which is part of the City of London. Not only in terms of its location, but also in terms of the role we play as an intellectual hub for the City. Many of our academics and lecturers have worked in industry and continue to consult for corporate organisations, so you benefit from their first hand knowledge and business experience.

4. Teaching you real skills for the real world

Cass prides itself on teaching you in a way that means you will hit the ground running when you enter the workplace. We underpin your learning with the basics of theory but embed this with real life practices so you understand the way that things really work within organisations. We use case studies, real life scenarios and group work to give you a head start in the real world.

5. Our employability record

Cass students are focused on their careers – they know what they want to achieve and that Cass will help them get there. The reputation Cass students have built up with employers is impressive. The major banks such as Goldman Sachs and Barclays know that Cass students are highly selected, high achievers, with the right attitude – and a ready to go to work approach. That’s why Cass is a target institution for major recruiters and why many of our graduates find jobs straight away – some before they’ve finished their final year.

6. Our global perspective

Students from all over the world want a Cass degree – because they know that it takes them places. The changing nature of business is that it is global: to be successful you are going to have to know how business works across the globe, not just in London. The content of our degrees broadens your horizons, and working with your colleagues from places such as Singapore, The Netherlands and Russia will give you hard currency to take with you when you enter the workplace.
