St George’s, University of London and City, University of London have merged to establish a new, multi-site, combined institution called 'City St George's, University of London'.
This development marks an important milestone for both institutions, bringing together each of our strengths to form one world-class University. With St George's reputation as a world-leading specialist health university and City's excellence in a range of disciplines including health, business, law, creativity, and communications, the merger created opportunities to generate significant change in healthcare. It means that we are now one of the largest multi-faculty institutions in London. The combined institution constitutes a ‘health powerhouse’ for students, researchers, and the NHS.
The new institution is led by Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein, previously the President of City.
The voluntary merger has enabled us to become one of the largest higher education destinations for London students, and a powerful multi-faculty institution with a distinctive focus on professional education and research at the frontier of practice.

For students joining us in 2024, you will be joining City St George’s (not St George’s) when you enroll for the 2024/25 academic year.
There will be no change to the location, delivery, content or structure of your course. You can still expect the same excellent teaching, taught by the same subject experts, and will be based at our Tooting campus shared with St George’s Hospital.
Our Terms and Conditions of Study have changed to reflect the new name but there are no other substantive changes.
We are going through the process to enable us to offer our students the choice to still graduate with a St George’s Hospital Medical School degree certificate or choose to graduate with a degree certificate from City St George’s.
Students joining us from 2025 can still expect excellent teaching, taught by subject experts, at a university that is committed to health education. You will be joining City St George’s (not St George’s).
Between now and when you enrol there may be some changes made to courses and the university services and facilities may change (or not be available). You will need to accept the terms and conditions relating to that year of entry, which will be available to view online prior to enrolment.
You can still apply to your programme of choice in the usual way. Undergraduate programmes, and programmes that accept applications through UCAS for 2025 will continue to be through City, University of London (C60) or St George’s, University of London (S49) as appropriate.
Postgraduate applications for 2025 will also continue to be through City, University of London or St George’s, University of London as appropriate. Applications can be made via the relevant website.
If you are holding a deferred offer to study in 2025, you do not need to change your application in anyway, and we hope to welcome you to next year.
Yes, the St George’s campus has become City St George's Tooting campus. City St George's recognises and values the importance of the unique co-location within the wider St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust campus.
There is no change of location planned to students enrolling in 2024.
For 2025 entry and beyond, it is likely you will still be based in Tooting. We will update our FAQs as soon we are able to confirm location of study.
No, the merger has not increased the number of Medicine places. Through the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, we may increase our number of Medicine places in the future, but this will not be as a consequence of the merger.
Yes, there will be changes to our brading, including logo and signage. You will start to see our new logo in use internally as we move through the rebranding process. The external launch of the new institution will take place in March 2025 and will be supported by a range of activities and events to mark this very significant step forward in our development. We will let you know about the launch plans nearer the time.
