Have you been affected by recent world events?
Here at City St George’s, we embrace being in the heart of London alongside our international diversity - with students and staff from more than 150 countries we are a truly global institute. We celebrate different cultures and come together driven by a desire for learning, creativity and innovation.
Sometimes events which happen, both near and far from London, such as natural disasters, political unrest or conflict which can feel difficult to deal with. Particularly for students living away from home, we understand this can accentuate that feeling of being away from family and friends.
If you are intending to travel to areas abroad during such events, we encourage you to check the Governments Foreign Travel Advice website for guidance on whether it is safe to travel.
If you do need someone to talk to, there are many ways in which you can seek support.
