About the university
City St George's, University of London was created on 1 August 2024, when City, University of London merged with St George's, University of London. It describes itself as the university of business practice and the professions, and teaches across six schools on three London campuses.
Many international students choose Bayes Business School, based at the Moorgate campus in central London. Bayes runs one-year master's in finance, banking, business analytics, management, fintech, marketing and supply chain, plus a full-time MBA. The university also teaches journalism, law, science and technology, health and medicine.
For Indian students the draw is a central London location and specialist one-year business master's. Bayes master's fees are about £26,500 to £35,700, and most ask for a 2:1 degree or equivalent and IELTS 6.5 with at least 6.0 in each section.
Living costs in London are high: Bayes estimates halls at £950 to £1,400 a month.
