The combined university is now one of the largest suppliers of the health workforce in the capital, as well as one of the largest higher education destinations for London students. City St George’s campuses are spread across London in Clerkenwell, Moorgate and Tooting, where we share a clinical environment with a major London teaching hospital. Our students are at the heart of everything that we do, and we are committed to supporting them to go out and get good jobs.
Our research is impactful, engaged and at the frontier of practice. In the last REF (2021) 86 per cent of City research was rated as ‘world-leading’ 4* (40%) and ‘internationally excellent’ 3* (46%). St George’s was ranked joint 8th in the country for research impact with 100% of impact cases judged as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. As City St George’s we will seize the opportunity to carry out interdisciplinary research which will have positive impact on the world around us.
