King's College London
speciality: Economics

The flexible learning approach at King’s college has been exceptionally beneficial for me, aligning perfectly with my preferred style of education. The self-paced structure allows me to take control of my learning journey and progress at a pace that suits me best. As a result, I have developed a strong sense of confidence in my ability to succeed academically.

Students find learning enjoyable here at King’s college because of the warm and conducive environment that makes learning process easier and more importantly the facilities available also help in the learning process

The students are nice and kind, and the school is good. I had a ton of options for classes, as well as outstanding community and support. The teaching staff is usually polite, helpful, and eager to help in any way they can. King’s provides you with incredible resources like outstanding courses, mentorship, societies that are very inviting, and career counseling. You can decide to use it to your advantage. There are excellent teachers on the campus. There is nothing at all that I can complain about. My experience there has been wonderful, even during a COVID.

This major of KCL is composed of lectures and seminars, with an average of 4 courses per semester and 8 lessons per week. The teachers of the four different courses are different from each other, the class system is small, and the students do not share. So you have the opportunity to meet a lot of like-minded people. The school gave a lot of reading material and advice, but it was all self-awareness. Because even if you don’t study so seriously, it’s not easy for the teacher to notice or communicate with you. This is a very international school, and the official statement given by KCL is that it consists of 30% international students. But the international students in my class are even more than 65%, the ratio is very average, with not too many Chinese or Indians. I don’t think the career prospects of this major are very good, but it is a major that is very helpful for self-improvement and critical thinking. Therefore, I recommend people who have an industry at home, no employment pressure, are interested in logic and literature and are self-disciplined to study this major.

KCL, being in central London doesn’t have a large campus which makes it quite hard to adjust. However, London is a great city to be in, there’s lots to do and lots of people to network with.
Your accommodation and societies are the main places to meet new people (students). Kings has several campuses and even offers one of the largest libraries which makes learning more accessible. I study economics and I really enjoy my course, the professors are great and I would definitely recommend kcl!

Located in the heart of a fantastic city, with plenty of cultural aspects to experience. However, living costs may be quite high. University itself is quite international with plenty of student societies to participate in. However, my course is relatively new thus I wouldn’t recommend it as I don’t think it’s as well structured as other universities for the same course.

The module content was interesting and challenging, although the overall lack of organisation and transparency from the teachers and the KBS administration was shocking. Having to wait until beginning of December to get our examinations calendar considering that a large number of students are international wanting to go home for Christmas is frustrating. Having had to take exams which were poorly made and that grading criteria and exam development differs from what we are taught by lecturers and the real results affected negatively our grades. The lack of transparency for grading and an imposed unreasonable cap on grades and instructions from the board to grade students lower to reduce the number of first is infuriating and unreasonable. Therefore, students are capped at 80 for their qualitative modules since the new instructions stated that ‘in order to get over 80 the quality of the assignments should be the same as a publishable paper which is unfeasible for a student working on a module for one term among 4 other modules compared to publishing academics with over 10 years of research in one specific topic.

One of the best social experiences I’ve ever had in my life. London and King’s was really the best combination. Amazing study abroad opportunities! I really thoroughly enjoyed my time at Kings with the friends I made and the career prospects that I gained.

Great extra curricular societies. Teaching is not great there, it’s a lot of repetition between years and the level of English spelling and grammar is appalling. There are also many content mistakes which makes learning difficult.

I highly recommend King’s College London -Business School as it provides its student with a great central location and excellent teachers from all over the world. Moreover, the career centre is helping students a lot and organises a lot of event to network
