Student review [#3805]
at King's College London

Positive:
A great majority of lecturers are passionate about their teaching specialisms and are willing to share their enthusiasm with students. The law school has a very strong mooting programme compared to other colleges within the University of London (e.g., strong student performance at Jessup, chambers-sponsored mooting opportunities at the UK Supreme Court, etc.) Staff at King’s show genuine concern for students with disabilities and are willing to make special arrangements such as 1:1 meetings with specialists and personalised teaching/examination provisions. The Maughan Library is perhaps the most student-friendly library within the University of London; I would rank my experiences there above those at the LSE, UCL, and Senate House. Finally, King’s is a reputable institution (albeit academic strength/ranking between the faculties may be variable).

Negative:
University administration is a common complaint amongst students. Some students (outside the law school) have found arranging contact hours with lectures and dissertation advisers difficult. However, these experiences vary amongst the faculties. While the school claims to have five campuses, some students may find that the school lacks a “campus feel”. Running across Waterloo Bridge between classes is a common occurrence and this may be physically straining. Accommodation price/distance/quality will vary substantially. Finally, London is an expensive city and university life at King’s may not be affordable to all students.

Highly recommended.
