Our name

St George’s, University of London 

Not ‘St George’s Medical School’, ‘St George’s University’ ‘St George’s Hospital Medical School’. After introducing the full title, it is fine to use just ‘St George’s.’ 

Do not use SGUL as this acronym is not recognised externally. It may hinder our brand awareness to use an acronym that readers will stumble over. 

Use upper case ‘U’ when referring to St George’s the institution.

Do not use: 

  • St George’s University of London 
  • St George’s University 
  • St Georges
