City St George’s, University of London is the University of business, practice and the professions and brings together the expertise and excellence of City, University of London and St George’s, University of London into one institution.

The combined university is 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.

Combining a breadth of disciplines across health, business, law, creativity, communications, science and technology, we are creating a ‘health powerhouse’ for students, researchers, the NHS and partners in uniting a world-leading specialist health university. We are now one of the UK’s largest health educators, where staff and students have access to an expanded team of brilliant academic and professional services colleagues, combined resources and facilities and more interdisciplinary opportunities.

The merger creates opportunities to generate significant change in the world of healthcare including changes to treatment, population health monitoring, workforce development and leadership, policy, and advocacy.

• To lead, develop and deliver employability-related modules, supporting students to develop career focus, professional experience and the skills, qualities and behaviours identified by the City Graduate Attributes model.
