Sort:Latest reviewsI am really enjoying my course and King's College London and people are very welcoming. The accommodation is great, London is lively with loads to do and the university facilities on very good standards.
the King's College London is ok but I haven't really been very social or able to meet people- I haven't really joined any societies or been to the student union. the best thing about my course is that it welcomes open discussion and this is really important in Medicine.
king's college London has offered me a great experience so far, I have loved meeting students from all over the world. My course topics and the lectures are very innovative. The best thing about London is that you can visit free museums and so many historical and cultural landmarks.
King's college London has been a pleasant place to study and have a good social life, as the courses are interesting and London has a lot of things to offer to students.the facilities can be improved a bit.
cannot find anything bad about the King's College London. I have been having an amazing time, the support services are really good, I would highly recommend it to prospective students.
really good academics but the accommodation is really really expensive. I would suggest to look into bursaries more than I did. the personal tutor research of the support services doesn't work, we need much more outreach. plus I am not completely sure about the job prospects.
my course is really good and the facilities are good enough, I would recommend to people to get involved more than I have as I haven't been part of any club/ society and I haven't used the support services. I have found a cheap private flat so I m quite happy with accommodation as well.
The overall experience its been good but this is more for the social aspect than the actual course. My course can be occasionally interesting and the accommodation is on a central location and quite affordable but the campus doesn't have access for disable people although the medical services are quite personal. the students union is good, London can offer a lot night outs.
I love King's College London! the quality of my course is excellent, the job prospects based on the university's name are really good. I had some problems with the written exam for dyslexia and the students union gets too busy from time to time but overall is really good!
The quality of reading in my course is really high something that I quite like. The computers area needs refurbishment but as the uni is really prestigious I think my job prospects are really good. I am not happy at all though with the rebranding.
The best thing about the Liberal Arts course in Kings's College London is the reading that you have to do. Its really interesting. The facilities are quite ok but they need refurbishment. The best thing about the London City is the tube!!
the best thing about the my course in King's College London is that I get to look at different history theories. The best thing about London is the people that you can meet. I am also part of the Marxist society which is great.
The lectures are small and articulate, making easier to contact the lecturer but the lecture rooms need refurbishment. London has a lot to offer but its quite expensive. The support services I haven't really used them because I didn't know they exist they don't advertise much. I don't think that coming from KCL will help me any more than coming from any other uni.
I don't live in a student hall. I am part of the basketball and philosophy societies but the student union does need a cash machine. I love my course (philosophy) but the library can be quite confusing. Not quite sure for the job prospects.
The student's halls accommodation provided by King's College London is expensive but the job prospects as a medical student are really good. Furthermore, London is great!
the student union is really active, lots of events are going on pretty regularly and the life in London is amazing. The course is hard but with good foundations and I am very positive for the overall experience so far.
King's College London is a great University, really interesting course and although everything is under construction I would still recommend it to others. London is great as well!
I went to the UK as an international undergraduate student to do electronic engineering. Unfortunately, the quality of education in engineering disciplines is extremely low in the UK, in general, and King's was not an exception. Lecturers often spoon-feed students by giving them the final exams questions "with solutions" and, if they don't give out the solutions, students complain to engineering department about the course or lecturer being too harsh. Lecturers are often forced to give high marks to, especially international, students because of the high fees that they're charged. Students are not competent in the UK whatsoever and, if you come from a good high school background, after a few semesters you might start feeling bored and then gradually depressed because of the low quality of the education there. I felt extremely depressed towards the end of my degree because of the incompetency of lecturers and students and, worst of all, knowing that I'm paying all those high international tuition fees and, in return, getting a lower quality education than my home country. Worst of all, a three-year degree in engineering is not respected in most of the industrial countries which is the case with the UK degrees and you might find it hard to find jobs or funding for graduate studies. What they teach in the UK in one year is often taught in one term in a standard engineering degree outside of the UK. My advice to any international student willing to study engineering would be to do a bachelor degree in your own home country or, if you don't have good universities in your country, consider going to North America. Avoid the UK for higher education by any means. I see the consequences of going to the UK, now, in my masters degree in the US. This message is to all those students that wish to get a so-called world-class education in "ENGINEERING" discipline and believe the UK is the right place. Please, consider all your other options before you decide to study in the UK. There is nothing in a UK university degree or life that can justify the costs of studying and living there for an international student.
Great uni, fabulous central location. Very diverse student body, with a range of different members of staff with different passions and research. Overall, a fantastic university, don't regret coming in the slightest.

King's college London has been a really good experience, but we had to do a lot of hard work to keep up with the studies. I am living in a private accommodation, so I don't really know anything about that. the students union is good,
