Dr Sionade Robinson, Vice-President (Enterprise, Engagement and Employability) at City St George’s, said:
"The world of work is changing but those who can demonstrate professional skills will always be in demand. I'm proud to see these outcomes based on our excellent students' hard work, our systematic and embedded approach to employability and the commitment of colleagues across the University to enable successful and fulfilling careers for our graduates.”
Alastair McCall, editor of the Daily Mail University Guide, said:
“City St George's has one of the strongest graduate employment records of any university. If you want a good job after graduating and City St George's offers the subject you are interested in, it ought to be part of the conversation.
“The university has a new name but a long history. Two years on from merging, the former City, University of London and St George's, University of London have embarked on a string of student-facing upgrades.
“City, well known for a strong track record in social inclusion and educating for business and the professions, was a natural stablemate for St George's, which focused on medicine degrees and courses covering many other aspects of health and social care.
“The merged university has already been recognised twice in our University of the Year awards – being named as University of the Year for Graduate Jobs in 2024 and runner-up for our overall University of the Year title.
“Campus upgrades in response to student suggestions include the opening of a new student support hub at Tooting, mirroring the one opened in Clerkenwell in 2024. These bring together student services in health and wellbeing, IT and careers and employability.
“There have been improvements to multi-faith facilities, and a new students' union cafe and mini market at Clerkenwell.
“The breadth of the academic portfolio is shown in the new degrees being launched in September 2026. These span a BSc/MSci in artificial intelligence and a BA in commercial dance, with further offerings in economics, business economics and law and criminology (the latter available as both an LLB and a BSc).”
City St George's was formed through the merger of City, University of London and St George's, University of London, combining strengths in professional education, medical research, and enterprise. The University continues to build on this foundation, with hands-on experience in NHS hospitals, financial firms, tech startups and legal chambers helping students build the networks and skills that translate directly into employment.
For students considering their options, City St George's continues to offer a compelling proposition: a university where strong graduate outcomes sit alongside a genuine commitment to opening doors for students from all backgrounds.
