At St George’s, we are working hard to improve student facilities and equipment.  

In 2022, we were successful in our bid for £5.8 million, awarded by the Office for Students (OfS) specifically to boost teaching facilities and equipment in higher education institutions. 

St George’s was one of only 47 UK Universities and Colleges to be awarded the maximum amount of £5.8 million per provider. 

This funding, alongside other investments including many made by St George’s itself, will be used to deliver an Education Transformation Project that will enhance our hands-on skills facilities, create new student study spaces and equip the campus for efficient digital learning and study.   

We are really excited to significantly enhance teaching, learning and the campus experience for our students and staff.  Follow along here and look out for the #BuildStGeorges hashtag on social media – we'll be posting our progress as we go along. 

We welcome your feedback, to get in touch, please have a look at our Get involved section.

The project will progress across a three-year period and include: 

News and updates

News items about improvements to student facilities and equipment will be added to this section as and when they are available.
