Overview

On 1 August 2024, City, University of London merged with St George’s, University of London to form City St George’s, University of London - now one of the largest higher education destinations for students in London. While the new institution operates under a unified identity, references to the legacy names may still appear, and the St George’s profile will remain in use for the duration of the 2025/26 recruitment cycle.

For the 2025/26 academic year, City St George’s is operating under a dual running model, maintaining separate application policies and procedures. Programmes and study locations for 2025 entry are expected to remain unchanged.
