On Thursday 1 August, City, University of London, and St George's, University of London formally merged to become City St George's, University of London.
City, University of London and St George’s University of London have signed an agreement that formalises plans to combine our two institutions, bringing together each of our strengths to form one world-class University.
The merged institution will, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, be called City St George’s, University of London and will begin operation from Thursday 1 August 2024 – although full integration will take several years to complete.
City’s President, Anthony Finkelstein, will become President of the combined university and has said for students:
I am greatly looking forward to leading City St George’s and to working with you, our remarkable and talented students to make the most of this fantastic opportunity.
You will, of course, have questions about what this might mean practically for you. Your programme, the academic support you receive and the campus on which you study will not change.
Things will change for the better. There will be a bigger student community, access to greater resources and interdisciplinary opportunities, increased support and, over time, more streamlined processes.
