It has strong employment rates, with 95% of students in work within six months of graduating, according to the latest stats. Programmes include accounting and finance, enterprise and entrepreneurship, photography and media, psychology and tourism. There is a large student body, with many mature, part-time and minority ethnic students. The student union runs events and campaigns throughout the year. Societies include women's rugby appreciation, Edify magazine and bollyaerobics. The main campus in Ealing, west London, sits close to beautiful landscaped parks with restaurants, pubs and shopping on the doorstep and vibrant central London is only a short tube ride away. The university is committed to promoting environmental responsibility and has achieved Sapphire status from WestTrans Partnership and Carbon Trust Standard. It is also investing £50m to improve students' learning and social experience as part of Future Campus, an environmentally sustainable redevelopment project. A specialist teaching hub has opened in Berkshire to provide support to the nursing and midwifery students. And the university's London College of Music was officially inaugurated as the first All-Steinway School in November 2011, meaning students will have the chance to perform at the world-renowned Steinway Hall in London.
