Join our Unibuddy Community to meet other offer holders

At City St George's, we're committed to nurturing meaningful connections among new students even before they step foot on campus. That's why we're excited to introduce the Postgraduate Offer Holder Community – a dedicated space where you can meet virtually fellow offer holders and start building friendships before your course begins.

Here, you'll have the opportunity to connect with students who might be on your course, in your accommodation, from the same country, or who share similar interests and hobbies. It's a great way to find your people, feel settled, and make yourself at home here. Plus, you'll get to chat with our friendly student ambassadors and staff, exchange ideas, seek guidance, and establish new relationships that will enrich your academic journey.

What is the Unibuddy Community?

  • The Unibuddy Community provides a safe, official space for you to meet and engage with other offer holders who are considering studying at City St George's this year. In the platform you will find a variety of public group chats tailored to specific subjects, certain aspects of university life, and interests.

    Here we cover everything from housing to London life and extra-curricular activities.  You can get to know like-minded people who may be planning to study the same course, be moving to London for the first time, or perhaps just looking to make new friends ahead of the autumn term.

Get started

How do I access the platform?

After receiving an offer to study with us, please keep an eye on your inbox. We will send monthly email invitations to new offer holders with a registration link to join our Unibuddy Community.

You can access the Community via a free mobile application (available on the iOS or Android App stores) or via your internet browser clicking on the button below.

When you first access the Unibuddy Community, you will be prompted to create an account – please use the same email address you provided in your application. If you have already created a Unibuddy account with this email, you can sign in using your existing password.

How does the platform work?

After registering and logging into your Unibuddy account, you will find three features waiting for you:

Inbox – This section holds all your ongoing chats within groups you have joined.  It might be empty at first, but don't worry! Just head over to the Explore tab to view and join existing groups.

Explore – This is where the fun begins! The Explore section allows you to discover various groups we've created to cover a range of topics. Simply browse through the options, choose any group that appeals to you, and click the 'join' button to become a member.

Updates  – Here, you will find information on events and opportunities we think will be of interest to you. Keep an eye out for exciting news and updates!

How the Community works

Public groups – We have a range of public group chats that you can join to meet people by School, interests, and hobbies. If you can't find a group that fits your needs, you can request the creation of new public groups that others can take part in.

Private groups – You can create private individual and group chats to exchange direct messages with each other. These are a great way to have private conversations within the safety of the platform. Please note: the University cannot access these conversations but is available to offer support if any issues arise.

We recommend keeping all conversations within the Unibuddy Community platform. However, if you choose to create group chats on social networks or external platforms, please be mindful that we  cannot intervene on any other platforms you use to make connections.

What are the Community rules?

To keep the Unibuddy Community a safe and welcoming space for everyone, we've created some rules for you to follow:

  • Be kind – Our goal is to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. Please treat everyone with respect. While healthy debates are encouraged, kindness is essential.
  • No hate or bullying – Make sure that everyone feels safe. Bullying, harassment, or any form of hateful behaviour will not be tolerated.
  • Keep it appropriate – Avoid using offensive language, sharing inappropriate content, or engaging in behaviour that could make others uncomfortable.
  • Stay on topic – Keep discussions relevant to the group’s theme. If you want to start a conversation on a different topic, consider joining or creating a new group.
  • No promotions or spam – Self-promotion, spamming, or sharing irrelevant links is not allowed.
  • Respect everyone's privacy – Mutual trust is key to participating in these groups. While discussions can enhance conversations, they may also touch on sensitive and private matters. Please be cautious before sharing personal information like your address, phone number, or bank details.
  • Report issues – If you see anyone displaying inappropriate behaviour, please report them by clicking on their profile and selecting the 'Report User' button. This will notify our admin team to review the issue. You also have the option to block other users yourself, preventing them from contacting you again.
By joining our Community, you agree with the rules outlined above. If you break one of these rules, you may be removed and banned from the platform.

Top tips

  1. Customise your profile – You can add your photo and tell a bit about yourself, but it's entirely optional so no pressure! Just remember, your profile is visible to others, so only share what you're comfortable with.
  2. Be mindful of sharing personal information – Avoid sharing personal information like your phone number or address. Although it's your choice, we advise against it to protect your privacy and security.
  3. Exercise caution with links – Think carefully before clicking on any links not posted by our staff. These may not be official City St George's links and could redirect you to other platforms or websites. While it's your decision to follow these links, please note that we don't monitored these.

How can I get help with technical issues?

If you encounter any difficulties in accessing the platform or logging in, please email unibuddy@citystgeorges.ac.uk and we will look into this for you.

City St George's. Together we're more.

In August 2024, City, University of London merged with St George’s, University of London. We are now City St George’s, University of London.

Though we are now one institution, full integration will take some time. You may still see reference to our legacy City and St George’s names and logos, but these will be updated to reflect the merger in due course.

For the 2025/26 academic year, we are operating under a ‘dual running model’, with separate application policies and procedures. Programmes and study locations for 2025 entry are expected to remain unchanged.
