City St George's, University of London will be working with StudyStash, an adaptive learning platform built on proven neuroscience, to support students with personalised, adaptive study tools and implement responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) across a selection of its undergraduate courses.
The implementation will integrate StudyStash directly within the university's Learning Management System (LMS), giving students seamless access to adaptive study tools that respond to their individual learning needs. Teaching staff will also receive detailed insight reports showing where their students are struggling and need additional support, helping the university to complete the teaching-learning loop.
Following successful rollouts across the UK, Europe, the US and Africa - including the University of Birmingham, Loughborough University, St Mary's University Twickenham, the University of Oulu in Finland, the University of Latvia, RCSI and COSECSA, California State University, East Bay and Bowling Green State University in the US - the focus will be on supporting student engagement, wellbeing and academic outcomes, reflecting City St George's commitment to educational excellence and digital innovation.
This forms part of City St George's wider AI strategy, moving beyond isolated trials towards a coordinated, institution-wide approach to generative AI that puts ethical responsibility, academic excellence and staff development at its centre. StudyStash joins a portfolio of AI education pilots running across the university's Schools, alongside platforms including Teachamatic and Graide, with each pilot evaluated for pedagogic integrity, responsible AI practice and evidence-led progression from pilot to scale.

A focus on faculty engagement and academic partnership
As part of this coordinated approach, a joint kick-off was attended by academics and students and will be followed by on-campus demonstrations with teaching staff from departments including Economics and Optometry. Working closely with the university's Digital Education team, StudyStash will support academics to embed the platform within their courses from the start of the academic year.
By integrating StudyStash with the LMS, students will be able to convert their existing course material into interactive learning assets such as flashcards, podcasts, practice exams and learning schedules to support their grades and independent learning. All AI use is grounded exclusively in academics' original course materials, ensuring accurate, relevant learning aligned with course objectives.
"We're excited to pilot StudyStash as part of a broader programme of AI education pilots across the University. By evaluating its use in practice, we can better understand where AI adds genuine value to learning and how successful approaches might be adopted more widely."
Professor Baba Sheba
Director of Digital Transformation
"Improving personalisation and the student experience is central to our approach to digital innovation. This pilot will help us explore how StudyStash can support students in ways that are useful, inclusive and grounded in sound educational practice."

Vice-President (Digital and Student Experience)
Student-centred, always
StudyStash was founded by two students at the University of Birmingham who wanted to make studying simpler, smarter and more personal. Balancing lectures, coursework and revision, they saw first-hand how disconnected digital tools often were from the real learning experience.
Their solution was to create a platform that thinks like a student - one that uses cognitive learning science to make learning more efficient, adaptive and stress-free. What started as a university side-project has since evolved into a growing education technology company, now partnering with universities across the UK, Europe, the US and Africa.
Responsible innovation
"We're delighted to be working with City St George's, University of London. It's a university with an exceptional breadth of teaching, from health sciences to economics, and exactly the kind of high-content learning environment where responsible, guardrailed AI can make a real difference. Working so closely with the academic community from day one will directly shape how we roll the platform out."
Ben Ward
Co-Founder & CEO, StudyStash
The findings from implementing StudyStash at City St George's will help shape the future development of the StudyStash platform as it continues expanding to support higher education institutions worldwide.
