City St George's UCAS Points: 2026 Entry Requirements

Quick answer: Sometimes. City St George's, University of London prints a UCAS Tariff points figure on some course pages — Computer Science asks for ABB or 128 points — but leaves others, including Medicine and Business Management, as grades only.

City, University of London and St George's, University of London merged on 1 August 2024 to form City St George's, University of London. That merger did not fully unify admissions: courses run from the former City side in Clerkenwell and the former St George's medical and health courses in Tooting still follow slightly different conventions on the same website. This page draws on eight course pages and the university's own contextual admissions policy, all fetched directly from citystgeorges.ac.uk, to show what September 2026 entry actually requires, campus by campus.

City St George's, University of London: one institution since 2024

The merger page states it plainly: "City, University of London and St George's, University of London merged on 1 August 2024. We are now 'City St George's, University of London.'" The new name covers everything the two universities previously ran separately, but the site still refers internally to "Clerkenwell (Legacy City)" and "Tooting (Legacy St George's)," and each side keeps its own admissions contact and its own contextual offer policy — details this page covers below because they change what an offer actually looks like depending on which course you apply for.

Does it use UCAS points, or grades? Both, depending on the course

There is no single university-wide answer, because the two legacy sides handle this differently, and even within Clerkenwell it varies by course. The general entry-requirements page sets only a floor: "you must satisfy City St George's general minimum requirement of passes in two subjects at GCE A-level or equivalent," with no Tariff total attached. Several Clerkenwell course pages then go further and publish an explicit points figure alongside the grade profile — Computer Science, Journalism and Law all read "ABB / 128 UCAS Tariff points." Others, including Medicine MBBS (Tooting) and Business Management at Bayes Business School (Clerkenwell), publish only a grade profile — AAA in both cases — with no points total anywhere on the page.

That split matters for how you plan an application here: on a points-quoting course, mixed qualifications reaching the total can substitute for the named grades; on a grades-only course, they cannot. The wider question of which universities use the Tariff at all is covered in do all universities use UCAS points.

Typical September 2026 entry requirements across both campuses

Five verified course pages, spanning both legacy sides, show the range:

Every page carries the same standard note: "These are standard entry requirements for the 2026 application cycle; offers made through Clearing may be lower." Clearing for September 2026 entry is running now, and several of these pages also carry an active Clearing banner alongside the standard figures — the table above reflects the published standard offer, not a Clearing-reduced one, so check the live course page for the current Clearing position. What Clearing changes generally is set out in the 2026 Clearing guide.

What these grades and points are worth on the Tariff

Where City St George's does quote a points figure, it matches standard Tariff arithmetic exactly: Adult Nursing's BBC comes to 112 points (40 + 40 + 32), and Computer Science's ABB comes to 128 points (48 + 40 + 40) — the same totals printed on the course pages themselves. That consistency is useful for comparing a grades-only offer to a points-based one: Medicine's AAA, while never expressed as points on the course page, would total 144 on the Tariff, and Business Management's AAA the same. Full breakdowns sit on the ABB UCAS points and BBB UCAS points pages, and how many UCAS points you need sets these totals against the wider sector. What a Tariff point actually is, and where the numbers come from, is explained in what are UCAS points.

Which qualifications City St George's accepts

Across the eight course pages checked, five main routes recur:

• A-levels — the default route, stated as a grade profile, sometimes with a points figure attached.
• BTEC Extended Diploma — DMM for Adult Nursing, DDM for Computer Science, Journalism, Psychology and Law, and DDD for Business Management; some pages give a worked example, such as 128 points from two A-levels and a BTEC Subsidiary Diploma including grade BB at A-level.
• International Baccalaureate — a native IB score rather than a Tariff conversion, ranging from 29 points (Adult Nursing) up to 36 points (Medicine, with 18 at Higher Level including grade 6 in Biology and Chemistry) and 35 points (Business Management), with named Higher Level subjects on science and health courses.
• Access to HE Diploma — course-specific credit splits, such as 45 Level 3 credits with 30 at Distinction and 15 at Merit for Computer Science and Law.
• T Levels and Scottish Highers — T Levels accepted at Merit or Distinction depending on the course; Scottish Higher and Advanced Higher grades are published for Medicine (AAA Highers, AA Advanced Highers) and Paramedic Science (BBB Highers, BB Advanced Highers).

Two universities, two contextual admissions schemes

City St George's contextual admissions policy is explicit that it still runs two separate schemes rather than one merged version. The Clerkenwell (former City) scheme states: "A contextual offer is a reduction of up to two grades (or up to 16 tariff points) below our standard entry requirements," applied to A-level, BTEC, CTEC, and IB applicants, but not to Clearing entrants. The Tooting (former St George's) scheme is worded differently: "you could be made an offer two grades lower than our standard conditional offer... applied across two subjects, rather than the requirement for one subject being reduced by two grades," covering A-level, IB and Scottish Higher applicants.

Neither side has given its scheme a separate brand name — both are called plainly "contextual offer" or "contextual admissions" — but both do publish a real, numeric reduction, unlike universities that apply contextual data with no stated figure. Eligibility spans care experience, a POLAR4 Quintile 1–2 postcode, estrangement, caring responsibilities and attendance at a listed lower-performing school. How contextual schemes work across the sector generally is covered in contextual offers explained.

Your next step: check which legacy side your course sits on

Before comparing offers, check whether your course sits on the Clerkenwell or Tooting side, since that changes both the admissions contact and which contextual scheme applies. Then check whether the course page prints a points figure or grades only — a points-quoting course lets a mixed qualification profile substitute for the named grades, a grades-only course does not. Build your five choices with a City St George's course paired against a realistic insurance offer; the reasoning behind that pairing is set out in firm vs insurance choices.

What are typical City St George's entry requirements?

Standard September 2026 A-level offers range from BBC for Adult Nursing up to AAA for Medicine MBBS and Business Management. Computer Science, Journalism and Law each ask for ABB, and Paramedic Science, delivered at the former St George's Tooting campus, asks for BBB including one science subject.

What are contextual offers at City St George's?

City St George's runs two schemes under its "contextual offer" policy, split by its two former institutions.
