A London medical school’s 15-year search for a merger finally looks set for a happy ending.
St George’s, University of London and City, University of London confirmed that they were “exploring the opportunity to create a new multi-faculty, combined institution”.
The strategic case for the union was approved by both university councils earlier this year and joint work is now under way to develop more detailed plans and conduct due diligence, Times Higher Education understands.
The university councils are due to meet later this summer “with a view to taking the next steps to progress the proposed merger”.
