King's College London (reviews)

I had to take medical leave and it was so stressful! But the staff were helpful and supportive and kind and helped me get ready to start my course over. I never felt like I was being ignored or that I needed to jump through hoops to get back to doing my masters. Graduation here I come!

KCL fosters a community which is incredibly international and the professor’s are competitive with the top medical schools. The accomodations are decent and student union is big enough to give face to every student. Definitely recommended for international growth.

i enjoy my degree, my tutors are enthusiastic, helpful and approachable. certain lecturers could use a little more oumph. the campus buildings are close together and in the heart of london – useful and interesting. plenty of study areas. super helpful and responsive english department

I loved being at King’s. The academic staff, as well as the atmosphere right in the heart of London, were incredibly inspiring. It’s a lively place that is constantly in motion and developing. As a student, I got many opportunities to become active in the department as hierarchies felt relatively flat (compared to other institutions in the UK).

I feel like the university offers amazing facilities in an even better location, however, the admin aspect of the university does appear to be lacking. KEATS has crashed a few times and is quite confusing. Socially the uni provides a lot of events, especially during welcome week. My course so far has been very interesting and the uni provides a lot of lectures and seminars.

I’d recommend this university to anyone, firstly because of its high standards, location, student life, but a lot more. With 1-on-1 tutors, lecturers and professors who are worldwide research leaders in their fields, the learning environment in this university is extremely encouraging. There are hundreds of different societies where you can meet a huge amount of friendly people who you have common interests with. Events are also organised with a large variety of companies and people to connect with professionally. Therefore, it’s a university where you can learn, make friends and connect with people, helping you build your career.

I had a great time at the university. Its right at the heart of London, opposite to River Thames. The quality of education is also exceptional. I studied International Development which was a one year course. I had a great learning experience, The department teachers are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and always ready to help. They have extra hours apart from the allocated student teacher hours for consultations. Great experience!

King’s college London is situated very centrally so Strand campus is a great location to be a student in London. Student life is very dependent on societies, if you do not join one you will find the community feel of a smaller campus lacking. Most first year classes are not taught by professors but rather graduate teaching assistants, which makes the first year academic experience less engaging than I imagined it would be.

Good university. Fantastic improv team from what I’ve heard. Just some really funny guys doing some classic improv in the Running-a-mock comedy society. Apparently they’re expanding to sketch and stand up too! Yowza!

I have loved studying at King’s so far. I have great flexibility within my course to explore not just a range of modules within my degree but others throughout the department. The student union holds fun and affordable must-go student nights and Bush House has quickly become my second home with its study spaces and bar/restaurant. Like any uni, you have to be self motivating and independent in your studies but the relationship you develop with your peers, module convenors and tutor makes sure you have all the extra support you need! The only downside is the lack of your « classic uni experience », similar to any London uni since there is not a singular campus; but you can’t beat living in the city!
