Good uni
My best experience is they offer alot of support for students especially me being an international student, I am so happy to have student support. We have personal tutors who you can set up a meeting with and discuss challenges with your course and how you can improve. The school offers internship programs which is a plus because you might be lucky to get an internship that the school has organized for you. The lecturers are really wonderful and really help us to understand especially in workshops and seminars. And finally the library is amazing with variety of books which are of upto date.
Best: I'm having fun Worst:a couple of professors
Great Resources for Creative Subjects and very passionate lecturers about their subject
The university offers a lot of incentives. Although I joined the university a bit late, I couldn't apply for scholarships. However, the university helps in different ways to support the students. On having societies organized by students, we feel welcomed, and it's amazing how the university encourages this to help promote inclusion and diversity. The teachers in teaching my course are very helpful and make sure students understand well by setting up chat boxes and online questions and answer sessions, which helps clarify a lot of doubts. As for our assignments and coursework, a lot of support is given. Every step is taught in detail. The campus, too, is very huge, allowing us a lot of space. There are canteens and cafes in every corner that are balanced and make it easier to find . There are rooms that can be booked for group studies, which is even fascinating is the library, which is open 24 hours and can be accessed at any time. Therefore, I do not regret any decision and feel like I have made the right decision on choosing this university. So far I haven't found any worst aspects about the university I have felt very welcomed and hoping to have a bright four years in the university.
Amazing arts facilities with a vast range of equipment and studio space with very helpful tutoring staff. The work is fast paced but very enjoyable as the course follow the ideology of thinking through making which brings a variety of new ideas quickly. Personally I don’t feel it could be improved much, if at all, as it is a very enjoyable place to study on the whole.
Amazing facilities but hard to access them as the online booking system is hard to use. Staff on the course are very helpful and supportive and the teaching is really great. Only 10% of students actually come into class, often there are only 2 or 3 students in for a class or workshop which makes it hard for discussions on group projects, overall experience making friends on the course and to bounce ideas off of eachother on such a creative course. Kingston isn’t great for student life, the knights park union is really good on a Friday evening but apart from that there isn’t much going on during the week. Overall I really enjoyed my time at Kingston but wouldn’t recommend it for the ‘university experience’ that a lot of people are after.
I enjoy the town and university, though my accommodation doesn’t provide all of the utilities that we need, such as working extractor fans and some lights,
Safety and campus life. The amenities are great! There’s support from the staff, and I have never encountered a rude or unpleasant staff member, no matter what sector within the uni.
Good courses and teachers. Teachers do support you with studies but theres hardly anything they can do when it comes to “uni” stuff. The uni as an “organisation” is not accommodating to what the students want. The student union tries but thats about it. Don't expect financial support or understanding administration for example when there are strikes, weather etc.
Kingston University provides me a good area to be who i am, to make new friendships.
.
Great workshop accesss. More time with tutors
Student support isn’t that great. As an international students , I wish they were better to contact and quick answers.
Please be more helpful
I had a problem with a flat mate which the uni could’ve taken more measures to deal with quicker
Nothing to say.
Environment is amazing, feel like I’m at my second home.
Everything is fine


Kingston really went out of their way to accommodate my disabilities and it really makes a difference.
The lectures and staff are really engaging and willing to answer questions. I wish the mandatory modules were a bit more relevant to me though.
Walkden is really nice, and the best bit I think is the trees! It's nice to have some nature nearby, as my actual campus is a bit barren in that regard.
