St George’s, University of London and City, University of London have signed a Transfer Agreement agreeing to merge our institutions.
Subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, the merged institution will be called City St George’s, University of London and will begin operating from 1 August 2024. (Full integration is likely to take longer).
The combined institution will be led by the current President of City, Professor Sir Anthony Finkelstein. (The appointment process for this role was undertaken jointly by the Councils of both City and St George’s and led by an independent Chair).
The merger will bring significant advantages of scale, reach, capability and resilience. It will create a larger, multi-site, combined establishment which brings together the strengths of each University to form a world-class institution.
The combination will create one of the largest suppliers of the health workforce in London, as well as one of the largest higher education destinations for London.
