A London medical school has signed a merger agreement with one of the capital’s leading universities, bidding to create a “world-class institution”.
City St George’s, which combines City, University of London and St. George’s medical school, will begin operating from August 1, 2024, subject to necessary regulatory approvals.
City’s current president, Anthony Finkelstein, will remain president of the combined university which will become one of London’s largest education destinations and suppliers of the capital’s health workforce.
“There will be a bigger student community, access to greater resources and interdisciplinary opportunities, increased support and over time, more streamlined processes,” Finkelstein announced to students last week.
