St George's, University of London

[EduCativ]

Welcome to St George's, University of London, the UK's only independent medical and healthcare higher education institution. St George's is a modern, innovative academic and research organization built upon a rich history stretching back 250 years. Alumni include John Hunter, known as the father of modern surgery, and Edward Jenner, a creator of the first vaccine, used to eradicate smallpox. We share a site with St George's Healthcare NHS Trust, one of the UK's largest teaching hospitals. Our smaller size lends a genuine community feels – students and staff can walk the corridors of our facilities from clinical teaching room to laboratory to hospital ward or clinic. As a testament to this, we were voted London's best student experience for two years in a row in the Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey.
