Introducing the School of Health & Medical Sciences
St George’s School of Health & Medical Sciences and City’s School of Health & Psychological Sciences have joined to form the integrated School of Health & Medical Sciences.
The School is a leading centre for healthcare education, research, and innovation, bringing together a rich legacy of expertise to shape the future of healthcare.
Previously, St George’s specialised in educating doctors, paramedics, physician associates, biomedical scientists, radiotherapists, radiographers, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, while City was known for its strengths in nursing, midwifery, speech and language therapy, optometry, counselling, radiography, and psychology.
Now united, the School offers an unparalleled breadth of healthcare disciplines, fostering collaboration to drive progress in treatment, population health monitoring, workforce development, leadership, policy, and advocacy. This unique combination of expertise positions the School as a true ‘health powerhouse’ for students, researchers, and the NHS.

Information for prospective students
Current and prospective students will automatically be members of City St George’s, University of London. Our Terms and Conditions of Study have changed to reflect the new name but there are few substantive changes.
For the 2025/26 academic year we will be ‘dual running’. This essentially means that all supporting policies and procedures for students will remain as previously operated by City (for City programmes) and St George’s (for St George’s programmes). This reflects our legal commitments to our students and the fact that full integration of systems and processes will take some time.
Our programmes and the locations of study remain unchanged, as does student access to support services.
Entry for programmes in 2025
Undergraduate programmes, and all other programmes that accept applications through UCAS for 2025 will continue to be through City, University of London (C60) or St George’s, University of London (S49) as appropriate.
Postgraduate applications for 2025 will also continue to be through City, University of London or St George’s, University of London as appropriate. Applications can be made on the relevant website.
