St George's University of London UK

St George’s, University of London (SGUL) is distinctive as the UK?s only independent medical and healthcare higher education institution. It benefits from strong links with the healthcare profession, including a shared site with St George?s Healthcare NHS Trust in Tooting, south west London.

SGUL is dedicated to the education and training of doctors, nurses, midwives, physician’s assistants, paramedics, physiotherapists, radiographers, social workers, healthcare and biomedical scientists. It attracts around 6,000 students, some of whom are taught in conjunction with Kingston University.

It also aims to enhance understanding of public health and epidemiology, clinical genetics, and social care sciences.
