New partnership between Capital City College and City St George’s will expand opportunities in STEM, business, and the professions

A new partnership between Capital City College (CCC) and City St George’s, University of London, will expand progression opportunities across many disciplines including engineering, biomedical science and health, finance, economics, mathematics, computer science, and the arts. The collaboration will create stronger pathways into higher education and skilled careers that are driving innovation, creativity and economic growth across London.

The partnership will strengthen progression routes for college students and is designed to help students move smoothly from further education into vocationally aligned university study.

The partnership will deliver clear benefits for both City St George’s and Capital City College; students get progression routes into a leading London university, while City St George’s benefits from a strong pipeline of talented students from across the capital. The agreements will also support closer collaboration on curriculum development, skills priorities and widening participation.

Angela Joyce, Chief Executive Officer at CCC, said:

“This partnership represents an important step in strengthening opportunities for our students. By working closely with City St George’s, we can support students to progress seamlessly from further to higher education, equipping them with the qualifications and experiences needed to succeed in their chosen careers and make a positive contribution to London’s economy.” 

Professor Juliet John, Vice President (Education) at City St George’s, University of London, commented:

“We are delighted to be deepening our historic partnership with CCC beyond the current, thriving Foundation programme in Engineering to a range of disciplines which will propel learners from diverse backgrounds into successful careers. As the university for business, practice and the professions with one of the strongest employability and social mobility records in the country, we see a wealth of possibilities in working in a focused way with a group which shares our values and serves the biggest FE population in the capital, to facilitate access to higher education.”

Mark Burrows, Group Principal for Adults and Higher Education at CCC, said:

“This partnership is a natural extension of our well-established relationship with City St George’s, built on many years of successful collaboration, particularly in engineering. City St George’s brings a wealth of strong curriculum expertise and opportunities in higher education, especially across STEM and the arts. Together, we are creating new pathways for students and strengthening the skills that will drive London’s future economy.”
