How to access

FT.com does not require a UEL or Athens login; instead, you need to set up an account on a campus PC using your UEL email address as a username. Go to FT.com and click on 'Register' in the top right hand corner.‌‌

After filling in the short form and creating a password, you can use any PC or internet-enabled device to access the content. Your account will last as long as your UEL email address is valid (usually until 6 months after you graduate) so it can be very useful for researching potential post-graduation employers.

Search tips

Use words or phrases to search for articles, and surround the phrases with quote marks to make sure the words are found together and not randomly within the articles. E.g. "credit crunch" or "human rights". As you have created your own account with FT.com, you can 'clip' articles to your personal folder which will remain as long as you have a valid account. This is a good way of keeping articles for various assignments together and saved for future reference. You can also share articles on social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

Typing the name of a major listed company into the search box will give you the option of seeing both News Articles and Quote (stock market) information.
