Overview
Kingston University offers a wide range of internationally recognized qualifications and a multicultural and supportive community. The University is in an attractive and busy riverside area, within 25 minutes train journey of central London; one of the world’s most exciting, historic and culturally rich capitals. Kingston is consistently rated one of the safest and happiest boroughs in London (Metropolitan Police; Rightmove).
Our wide-ranging courses are specifically designed to equip you with the most relevant skills for the world of work. Many of these have been developed in consultation with professional organisations and carry professional accreditation, and our undergraduate business and law courses include an innovative year-long ‘business experience’, while still only taking three years to complete. Kingston has a good reputation for teaching and has achieved strong results in national assessments of teaching quality, and many of our staff develop close links with business and industry or still work in their chosen fields.
We are investing $180,000 000 until 2018 in developing our campuses and facilities, so you will benefit from the best teaching environment, including innovative computing, e-learning and library facilities. Many of our laboratories, design studios, and workshops are fitted with cutting-edge technical equipment.
As one of our 3,500+ international students you’ll benefit from a significant amount of support, including: academic and pastoral support; visa and immigration advice; career support from our KU Talent department and assistance with your Federal Loan. We offer a comprehensive International Arrivals and Orientation program when you arrive, which is designed to help you settle in at Kingston and make friends.
