AIRTO member City, University of London has formally merged with St George’s, University of London, creating a powerful multi-faculty institution with a distinctive focus on professional education and research at the frontier of practice.
The combined university is now one of the most significant suppliers of the health workforce in the capital, as well as one of the largest higher education destinations for London students.
Led by Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein, the merged institution is called City St George’s, University of London and will begin operating from 1 August 2024 – although full integration is expected to take longer.
St George’s educates doctors, paramedics, physician associates, biomedical scientists, radiotherapists, radiographers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. This complements City’s health offering which includes nursing, midwifery, speech and language therapy, optometry, counselling, radiography, and psychology. One of very few institutions offering this breadth of expertise, the combined institution will constitute a ‘health powerhouse’ for students, researchers and the NHS.
