Sort:Latest reviewsIt's a great central location with many resources and plenty of places to study. However, I don't often feel very supported by professors and staff who are very vague and unhelpful of what they expect from us. I also feel that King's isnt the most social university and could be improved through developing social life and support
The administration is not helpful or supporting at all when it comes to financial issues. I’ve emailed countless times in the past year looking for solutions and help as my parents are going through serious financial struggles right now and my loans didn’t get accepted this year, and I never got one email back. I feel very unsupported and unheard
Mental health support seems better than other unis albeit there isn't much competition, workload is manageable however they are not very empathetic towards your individual circumstances when struggling with deadlines. Diverse student groups and many student hosted uni events.
It's great ! The food is really good and affordable. I wish there was easier access to help for students struggling with mental health and with courses in general.
Amazing location and from what I've experienced really great support when I've needed it. Only issue I have is personal to my course which is that we are not taught enough skills and just told to go find a nurse to teach us
The best aspects are definitely the communication from the student Union and that of my faculty. The only downside is the administration with regards to the timetabling. However, the administration team has worked hard to improve!
best: location and campus facilities, teachers worst: social opportunities for the students whose first year were affected by COVID in 2020 and were thus deprived of fresher's week and the wave of socialising events.
Has a productive vibe to its campus, but not a lot of halal food options also even though there are many teachers to ask for help, to get support feels tough so it is a learning experience to learn how to ask for help.
The location of King’s College London makes it a great place to study at as it’s in the heart of London with many things to do and explore. Also being a student in leading business school in London also means that you would have many networking opportunities in firms. And leading firms also visit the university such as Ey is coming to Kcl for a networking event. This is a great opportunity and networking with big organisations increasing your chances of securing a job. Also there is a large variety of societies in all areas such as sports, career, academic and career.
Facilities and lectures very well thought out and easy to use/understand. Some societies however do not have as many events or are not active so it can be difficult to make friends.
My university is really helpful in terms of coursework exams etc
I only use two rooms for my whole degree. I know for other departments the facilities are amazing, but I would love to just be in a room with a window , or a big lecture hall
Worst: Lack of support in the first semester of academic transition. We have all come from different places with different educational experiences and while year 1 is meant to bring us all to a common level, certain things are still expected and (especially as COVID years) that just isn't true for all of us and just a few extra sessions in year 1 (even being optional) to cover required skills that should have been taught in Alevel - especially for lab equipment - would have been extremely helpful Best: Kind and welcoming feel of everyone and amazing location
Best aspect are the friends and fun life, issues are how slow the department can be and disorganised such as during the exam period
great location with some great teachers. My cohort is too big therefore some of us feel neglected and feel like support is not available as readily as other unis
Best: location, student support Worst: many strikes so is affecting our learning
It’s got really good facilities and the buildings provide lots of services both education related and non education related (social spaces, food, area). The location is really nice and is easy to get to, and has a lot of things going on around it with lots of activities to do. I guess a thing that could be improved is the support for finding work placements and internships or just communication about opportunities. It would also be nice for there to be more bursaries and scholarships for first gen or low income students in general.
The university is located in the arguably the best city in the world, the diversity of students and facilities on campus are fantastic. Pastorally the uni could use some improvement. Personal tutors aren't really bothered about you, they just plan meetings to tick the box, many of meetings have lasted 15 minutes max. However I am speaking about my experience on a course with a huge cohort so other courses may be set up differently. Often you feel disconnected from your lecturers and can't access the correct support you would in a smaller uni. I accessed kcl disability and was able to receive an diagnosis for ADHD which the university has provided some support for. Overall I am very happy I chose King's.
There are lots of libraries and quiet places to study which are in various locations making it easy to get to. There are incredible labs for biomedical engineering including access to 3D printers and other useful equipment not easily accessible any other way. I don’t feel much of a community, not sure how much is affected by Covid, so even though I attend king’s I don’t have much connection other than my studies to the uni.
