Taro Takeuchi Starting up in Business

Prior to taking the Starting up in Business course at City University London, Taro had an office job, but always knew he wanted his own business. “In ten weeks I learnt a lot. The course is really condensed and focused and Kulan Mills, my tutor, gave me the base from which to start thinking seriously about what I wanted to achieve as a business owner.”

The guidance Taro received led his business idea to change dramatically. “At first I wanted to open an old-fashioned sweet shop, but after considering profit margins and sales volume, it would be hard to make any kind of profit. So I started thinking, what am I passionate about, and realised that I love dogs and know a great deal about them. I decided to open a dogs’ accessories shop.”

Bow Wow London is now open for business, located in the heart of fashionable Covent Garden. “I am still in touch with Kulan and speak to his students as a guest lecturer. I tell the students that being a business owner requires bravery, passion, conviction and a lot of investment, in both time and money. But it really pays off when you get it right. For the first time in my life, I feel pride and satisfaction every minute I’m in my shop. It is truly a 24/7 job, but I love it.”

Lukasz Buczynski Object-Oriented Programming with Java Part 1 and Part 2

Lukasz used to view computing as a hobby, “I had always been interested in computers and electronics but I never thought of working as an IT professional. I wanted to do something that I love and that would give me real satisfaction. City’s Java programming course offered really good coverage for beginners, and the price was really good.”

Lukasz took advantage of the range of courses, progressing from beginner to advanced: “I gained a really good foundation, including how to develop computer programs and how to communicate in a technical environment. I liked the Java course so much that I enrolled myself on Level 2. I also started to prepare myself for the Oracle Certified Java Programmer qualification.”

Lukasz went on to study an MSc in Computer Science at Birkbeck University of London: “I’m sure that without attending the Java course, I wouldn’t be as successful now. Whilst still a student, I was offered my dream job, and now work for an Internet security company as an Associate Software Engineer. I can’t imagine myself being anywhere else. I think that if you want to start something new, change your lifestyle, career, this is the way to go.”

“ A perfect combination of critical theory and creative practice. Dictynna’s [the tutor] vast experience as a writer and director, together with her endless enthusiasm, provide an invaluable benefit to her students.” Screenwriting: First Steps Student

Gemma Holdway Screenwriting

Gemma was working as an Assistant Producer when she started the Screenwriting course at City. “I decided to pursue a short course because my profession was not creatively fulfilling. I was passionate about film and writing and had always wanted to combine the two, but had no formal training.”

“I knew City’s reputation prior to signing up for the course. We’d learn, apply what we’d learn in groups or independently and then we’d share, and by the end, we walked away with a completed short script and thorough feedback from Dictynna Hood, the course tutor.”

“The course kick-started my life in a completely new direction. After I completed the course, I knew that this was what I was supposed to be doing and I took a leap of faith. I quit my job and literally pursued my dream. If I hadn’t taken the short course, I don’t think I’d ever have taken such a risk.”

Gemma’s success continues as she is currently working on a production with British actor David Tennant, “I’m just about to take off for Victoria, USA, to work on a new series as the script coordinator. The series is called Gracepoint, an adaptation of the very popular British series Broadchurch.”

Variety We offer 8 modern foreign languages: Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.

Learn at your own pace You can study for one term to develop basic language skills, or for up to three years from a beginner to an advanced level if you are serious about acquiring solid knowledge and confidence in speaking a foreign language. If you already have some knowledge, please check your level carefully using our self-assessment tool before enrolling on a course.

Missed the beginning of the academic year? You can join our Accelerated classes in Arabic, French, German, Japanese or Spanish in January and cover the first and second terms’ curriculum in one term. These are, however, highly intensive courses that require dedication and willingness to study outside the class.

Flexibility You can join the course of your choice in October, January or April once you have checked your level.

Teaching methods The focus is on speaking and listening for communicative purposes with trained, qualified and experienced native tutors. Lessons are taught mostly in the language you are learning in a relaxed atmosphere, but regular homework is required. Most courses will also require the purchase of a course book.

Achievements Our language programmes have helped thousands of students to enjoy their holidays, improve their career, move abroad, get a broader understanding of other cultures or simply socialise with other people.

Steve Young The Novel Studio

Before embarking on The Novel Studio at City University London, Steve was a freelance comedian and theatre director, “I toured the UK performing, and directed several times with the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival. I had written thousands of jokes and vignettes, but was looking for a forum to go into more serious writing.”

Steve chose to pursue his love of writing in London, “the heart of literature central”, and a literature graduate from Oxford suggested City. “His professors were JR Tolkien and CS Lewis”, says Steve, “I used to come by his home and read aloud whatever I was working on.”

Steve completed two short story courses, and then applied for The Novel Studio. “I had excellent tutors working in the field. They pushed and challenged me. I always felt there was a vested interest in my work and my classmates were committed to my success and I to theirs.”

Since completing The Novel Studio, Steve has found great success as an award-winning playwright. Under the Overpass won the TeCo New Play Competition literary award, and The Wal*Mart-ians was a finalist for the Reva Shiner Comedy Awards at the Bloomington Playwright Project, and Steve’s new play, The Night Witches, was performed at the Brighton Fringe Festival.

“The Novel Studio really launched me forward. It made me brave on the page. It gave me a discerning eye. I loved every minute of it.”

“ It’s by far the best course I have done. Katy [the tutor] structures the classes around her students to maximise learning and has a vast array of invaluable handouts. I can’t recommend it enough.” Helen Marsden

Start dates: Monday 6th October 2014Monday 19th January 2015 Tuesday 28th April 2015

Class time: 18:30 – 20:30


This course follows the stages of a writing project – whether short reports, features, articles or full-length books – from planning through writing to editing the typescript ready for publication. The course begins with an outline of the various genres (biography, memoir, travel, history, science writing and politics) and then looks at each stage in detail, from first thoughts on how to construct a narrative to the writer’s toolkit, portrait-painting, character-building, the importance of endings and beginnings, and the difficult business of finding your voice. The aim is to encourage and inspire through group discussion and individual exercises. There is no assessment, but the course aims to train students how to edit and judge their own work. Guidance will also be given on how to prepare a book proposal.

“ It’s a very welcoming course, no matter your level of experience. The tutor puts a lot of effort into providing feedback and encouragement to individuals for each of the assignments.” Narrative Non-Fiction Part 1 Student

The workshops explore in more depth the scope of narrative and the techniques necessary to achieve an effective writing style. Through discussion and exercises the course looks at planning, writing and editing, with the students’ specific project in mind. As part of the course, each student is offered a one-to-one tutorial.

Ed Woodcock The Novel Studio

Strategy Director Ed Woodcock was looking for a change in his career, and had always had an interest in fiction and literature.

“City was the only institution I could find that offered the kind of intense and group-based tuition I was looking for. I liked the idea that there was a rigorous application process for The Novel Studio, meaning I’d be surrounded by talented people who would inspire me to do better.”

“The relaxed, small group format meant we got to know our tutors and fellow students particularly well, creating a supportive environment that helped everyone get the most out of the critiques.”

“I suppose a ‘successful’ outcome would normally be getting published... I put what I learnt to use in a different way – to change careers. Some of my colleagues and I decided to start a new agency based on the narrative theory and techniques I had learnt on my course. The UK Intellectual Property Office has even recognised our techniques and approach. So, the course proved successful in ways I hadn’t originally imagined!”

“It’s always worth exploring new fields of knowledge and learning new skills because it opens your mind to other possibilities and not always in the ways you’d expect.”
