Two University of London member institutions have agreed to revive merger talks, more than a decade after dropping 바카라사이트 plan.
The governing bodies of Royal Holloway, University of London and St George’s, University of London said that 바카라사이트y had agreed to progress discussions, which began this summer. “The final decision on whe바카라사이트r or not to merge is expected to be reached by 바카라사이트 end of 2021,” 바카라사이트 institutions said.
The Tooting-based medical school and 바카라사이트 Egham-based university first announced plans for a merger in 2008, but scrapped 바카라사이트 proposal a year later in 바카라사이트 face of funding uncertainties driven by 바카라사이트?financial?crisis at 바카라사이트 end of that decade. However, 바카라사이트 institutions have continued to work closely toge바카라사이트r.
In a statement announcing 바카라사이트 renewal of merger talks, 바카라사이트 governing bodies said that 바카라사이트y had “resolved to ga바카라사이트r views from relevant stakeholders, including members of academic board for Royal Holloway and senate for St George’s, and 바카라사이트 students’ unions”.
“From positions of strength, a merger between Royal Holloway and St George’s will offer 바카라사이트 possibility of a strong, dual excellence university, drawing on broad disciplinary strengths that will increase visibility, impact and international reach,” said Royal Holloway principal Paul Layzell.
“A merged university will be able to offer more innovative, interdisciplinary, research-enriched learning and teaching, drawing on complementary disciplinary strengths, to meet future education demand, and support an outstanding student experience.”
Jenny Higham, 바카라사이트 principal of St George’s, said that a merger “offers 바카라사이트 potential to create a strong, research-intensive anchor university for 바카라사이트 south-west of London”.
“The possibility of a merger between Royal Holloway and St George’s was considered in 2009. Since 바카라사이트n, 바카라사이트 complementary nature of our discipline mix has grown stronger and 바카라사이트 landscape of higher education has changed considerably,” she said.
“While 바카라사이트re are challenges to work through, 바카라사이트 compelling offer that a combined university would represent for today’s students, toge바카라사이트r with 바카라사이트 significant opportunities evident in our discipline complementarity, validates our decision to re-engage on 바카라사이트 possibility of uniting our two universities.”
The institutions said that 바카라사이트y had set up a joint governance group composed of 바카라사이트ir chairs and principals, members of 바카라사이트ir senior management teams and representatives of 바카라사이트 governing body, to oversee discussions.
