Student review [#57513]
for Business Management
at King's College London
London, The United Kingdom
Academic Programs and Departments:
At King’s Business School, part of KCL University, there are different paths you can choose from. These include Business Management, International Management, Accounting, and Economics. Depending on your preference, you can go into a specific direction or opt for a more open course like mine—Business Management. In this course, each year offers various options ranging from marketing to accounting and economics. The main difference is in years 2 and 3, where each course focuses more on that specific area. I found my course really useful since it covered different subjects in the first year, making it easy for those without prior business studies experience. The course content stays current and the selected readings are up-to-date, always with the latest editions of books and academic material.
Faculty and Teaching:
The teaching staff is great and offers plenty of chances for feedback during office hours.
Class Size:
Classes at KBS happen at places like the Strand Building and Bush House across multiple campuses. Class sizes vary, from large auditoriums for mandatory modules, like Strategic Management in year 2, to smaller ones for elective courses.
Campus Facilities:
The university provides access to fantastic libraries with various study spaces, discussion rooms for group projects, and quiet areas. The Maughan Library stands out for its beauty. There’s also an online library with an extensive collection of books and articles, which is really helpful for research.
Extracurricular Activities:
There’s a wide range of student clubs to join. Before the academic year starts, a fair is held where you can meet club members and decide which ones to join. These clubs cover various interests from business to sports, hobbies, medicine, science, and cultural groups that can be really comforting for international students.
Campus Location:
The campus is conveniently located, close to several tube lines like District in Temple, and Northern and Bakerloo lines in Charing Cross. Plus, Covent Garden is nearby with lots of eating places, many offering student discounts through Student Beans or UNiDAYS.
