King's International Foundation in Health, Life & Biosciences

King's College London, University of London

Being on common year one I feel like there's less support and care put into some of the modules as they know we possibly won't be doing it next year it feels like they don't want to waste their time on us.

King's College provides students with lots of opportunities to reach out and participate in the wider world of research. You can become a volunteer for other students' projects or you can reach out to the wider community and apply for internships, voluntary experiences and much more.

The balance between academic and social life is perfect at KCL; there is a clear drive in all of the students, but the weekly socials are still so fun and people are extroverted too! The mental health and student support is brilliant too.

Best: people/staff/lecturers are very supportive, the AKC programme is also a nice touch to get education outside one's field Worst: some campuses are pretty remote (e.g. Denmark Hill campus) and thus difficult to get to

King’s is an amazing place to study in the heart of London. There are plenty of study spaces with gorgeous architecture, especially the Maughan Library by Covent Garden. King’s also has the exclusive Gordon Museum for King’s students only boasting the largest collection of medical specimens in the UK. One thing that could be improved is the careers page, as I feel it needs to be easier to navigate and filter. As well as this, the lecture capture needs to be implemented across workshops and tutorials as well as lectures, because if you’re bedridden and can’t attend the workshop or tutorials, there’s no way you can get the same experience and explanations as if you were at the uni.
