We are building a positive research culture at St George's where researchers feel empowered to do their best work and develop their career.
We're putting £5.8 million of Office for Students funding towards improving facilities and equipment for our students.
The merger has enabled us to become one of the largest higher education destinations for London students and a powerful multi-faculty institution focussed on professional education and research.
Your gift to St George’s will inspire our students, our research, and our community, and ultimately impact the patients who will benefit from the care and expertise of our graduates around the world.

A new study has named Dr Alicja Rudnicka from the Population Health Research Institute at St George’s, University of London as the 16th ranked optometry researcher in the world and first in the UK.
Published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry this month, the study was able to rank optometry researchers based on their number of research publications and the deemed quality of their work – assessed by considering the number of times their work was cited.
The rankings are updated regularly every 24 hours on a ranking website. At the time of writing, both Dr Rudnicka and St George’s colleague Professor Christopher Owen are named in the world top 20 and hold the top two positions in the UK.
Most recently, the work of the two researchers has shown that artificial intelligence could help prevent sight loss in people with diabetes and potentially save the NHS millions of pounds. They hope that their work will lead to systematic changes in the English Diabetic Eye Screening Programme.
Speaking on the announcement of the rankings, Dr Rudnicka said: “It is a great honour to be placed in such distinguished ranks, some of whom have been colleagues at one time or another. This significant achievement has arisen because I have had the good fortune to work with excellent researchers and it is a team effort that has resulted in this positive outcome. I am very grateful to all I have worked with, and aim to continue onwards and upwards!”
