UCL¡¯s council officially approved its decision to merge with its Bloomsbury neighbour at a meeting on 20 October.
The merger will be finalised by the IoE¡¯s council when it meets on 25 November with a view to formally rescind the institution¡¯s charter.
Michael Arthur, president and provost at UCL, said the latest decision ¡°marks another important step towards a merger that both our institutions believe will deliver significant advances in the field of social sciences and education¡±.
¡°The combination of the IoE and UCL can be much more than the sum of their parts,¡± said Professor Arthur.
The merger will allow new research collaborations and curriculum developments, as well as extending UCL¡¯s influence and reach, he added.
This week¡¯s decision confirms the announcement made in February that the two institutions supported the idea of a merger following a strategic partnership, which began in October 2012.
