As a fresh postgraduate degree student at Kingston University, I’ve found my first months exciting with exposure to how I can leverage the multi-diverse cultural value the institution manifests. From support for students with different language abilities, access to the institution’s open educational resources, access to myriads of student unions and clubs, as well as a faculty of multidimensional lecturers, it’s only natural for such an institution to be one of first choice.
It also helps students spend less in terms of affordable student accommodation, and free cross-uni-area commuting, which can be a major concern for international students.
One thing that also makes KU stand out is its integration with technology (in the form of apps designed with accessibility and usability in mind) with a seamless and student-centered information communication system.
View moreI enjoyed both the educational and noneducational resources that the university has to offer. The staff and professors are friendly and very knowledgable. Although the school is based in the middle of the Thames area, the university makes it a priority to keep everyone safe, which is reassuring.
View moreI studied Psychology at Kingston University. I applied for the course through clearing, which allowed me to apply despite my grades not meeting the course’s criteria. I enjoyed my course and learned a lot about various Psychology topics (development, health, the brain). The downside of the course is that until I got to my final year, I didn’t include much practical work, so lectures were slightly repetitive.
Overall, I found Kingston University very supportive, especially during the pandemic.
View moreI studied at Kingston University at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Interestingly the experience for undergraduate and postgraduate were completely different. During my undergraduate, the university provided support and really seemed to care about students and their well-being. The university itself is multicultural and provides lots of opportunities for undergraduates to develop themselves.
However, during my postgraduate studies, I realised that academics care less about student wellbeing and do not offer much support to students. Supervisory meetings are limited and can go by months without being able to see your supervisor.

I met my life friends there and would personally would recommend the university as it offers a range of multiple courses/ varied programmes to choose from.
