History

The School was formed in 2008 when the nursing and midwifery college merged with the allied health sciences departments.

The School of Nursing and Midwifery dates its history back over 120 years ago to the schools of St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal London Hospital, the former of which began training in 1867,[1] formalised into a School in 1877.[2] These merged in 1994 to become the St Bartholomew School of Nursing & Midwifery. In 1995 the new school was incorporated into City University London.[3][4] Both schools have a strong and respected history and have produced many nurse leaders and educators. The school has since been incorporated into the School of Health Sciences.

Campus

The School of Health Sciences is based at City University London's main campus at Northampton Square, with an additional Optometry clinic, Fight for Sight which is open to the public on Bath Road, Old Street.

Library Services

The recently refurbished main University Library occupies at the Northampton Square is open 8.30am to midnight throughout term time. Resources include textbooks, journals, e-books, DVDs, electronic journals and databases. The majority of electronic materials can be accessed from anywhere via our online services for students, so you don’t have to come to campus to study and can use many resources from home or while on placement.
