Kingston and St George’s joint Faculty
is currently home to over 7,000 students
and operates over three sites in south
west London. We focus on providing
excellent health, social care and education
professionals, as well as preparing
today’s practitioners for future challenges
through our workforce development
modules and study days. We encourage
an interdisciplinary approach to teaching,
bringing health, social care and education
students together to learn with and from
each other – something being increasingly
recognised as vital to delivering services
that effectively meet patient and service
user needs. We strive for excellence
in education, preparing graduates for
leadership roles and collaborative working.
We work in close partnership with
education commissioners, including
Health Education South London(HESL),
the National College for Teaching and
Leadership, and the United Kingdom
Government’s Department for Education.
We also work with employers such as
the National Health Service(NHS), as
well as independent and voluntary health
and social care agencies. Through our
commitment to widening participation,
we developed important relationships
with local further education colleges, to
support students from all backgrounds
into higher education. We use innovative
learning methods including, for example,
our e-learning portal and discussion
forums. These enable students to learn
at times that are convenient to them and
fit into their lifestyle.
We also conduct high quality research
to find solutions to complex challenges.
We pride ourselves on bringing
professionals from different backgrounds
together with service users and carers to
address important issues. Kingston and
St George’s joint Faculty is the smart
choice for health, social care and
education degrees, modules and study
days in London.
Kingston University and St George’s, University of London joint Faculty of Health,
Social Care and Education (Kingston and St George’s) was formed in 1996.
We offer the very best workforce development learning opportunities from two
different and leading organisations, to advance the skills and experiences of
professionals working in health and social care. We also offer a competitive
mix of sought-after teaching from a range of seven subject areas; pioneering
research; excellent facilities; and the opportunity to learn from leading
academics from within the field.

At Kingston and St George’s joint Faculty we focus
on embedding our research findings into our workforce
development education to ensure it remains practice-
relevant for our students. We place patients and other
service users at the heart of everything we do – both in
the development and implementation of our studies.
We pride ourselves on our multidisciplinary approach,
bringing together professionals from different backgrounds
to find the very best ways to deliver more cohesive
services.
Our research is intrinsically service facing, providing
practical solutions to today’s complex health, social care
and education challenges. Through our work we help
to bring about advances in professional practice and
education and inform health, social care and education
policy at a local, national and international level.
Within Kingston and St George’s joint Faculty we have
two major research centres that shape policy and drive
excellence in our teaching. They include:
Research informed
education
Centre for Public Engagement
The Centre for Public Engagement
was established in 2013. It aims to
increase patient, public and service user
involvement in health and social care
service development, education and
research. Building on the excellent work
already undertaken at Kingston and
St George’s joint Faculty, the Centre is
intended to become a beacon of good
practice for public engagement, by
working in partnership with health, social
care and education organisations, local
communities and groups representing
service users and carers.
Visit www.healthcare.ac.uk/schools/cpe/
for more information.
Centre for Health and Social Care
Research
The Centre for Health and Social Care
Research addresses a broad range of
issues, including how best to educate and
train health and social care professionals.
Academics work extensively with service
users to develop effective strategies to
manage long-term conditions. They work
in collaboration with other universities to
undertake research that directly informs
policy and practice. The Centre also
supports a growing number of research
students.

At Kingston and St George’s joint Faculty
we think interprofessional learning is
essential to the future of health and social
care and one of our core strengths. Not
only do we offer you the opportunity to
learn with a number of other disciplines,
we also offer you the opportunity to learn
on a campus situated within one of the
oldest and most reputable NHS Trusts in
the United Kingdom.
By learning, working together and
understanding the vital contribution
each discipline makes to the overall
management and wellbeing of service
users and patients; we believe the service
our students provide continue to improve.
We support interprofessional learning in
the following ways:
+ Providing education within the areas of
nursing, midwifery, paramedic science,
radiography, rehabilitation sciences,
leadership and management, social work
and research within one institution
+ Developing modules and courses
through consultation of a team of
multiple professionals from a range of
disciplines
+ Offering courses,modules and study
days that are relevant to students from
all disciplines

In addition to workforce development modules and study days that can be taken on a
free-standing basis, Kingston and St George’s joint Faculty offer a wide range of health
and social care courses at postgraduate and undergraduate level. We operate a modular

accumulation over a period of five years – a model used on some courses throughout the
United Kingdom and Europe. Degrees offered in this manner are marked below with (•).
Those courses not offered on a module-by-module basis are marked (•). You can also
plan your own ‘Healthcare Practice: Personalised award’ at various academic levels by
choosing your own mix of modules unique to your career. These courses are marked (•).
Find out more about the various ways you can study with us on page 17. To view a
module you have completed with us may be credited towards a course we offer, view
