Overview

King’s College London is England’s third oldest university, founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829. It is ranked in the top 10 UK universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2023) and has 14 Nobel Prize laureates among its alumni and current and former faculty. It is spread across five campuses in central London and currently has over 41,000 students enrolled.

King’s College London has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA, and it is now the largest centre for the education of doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals in Europe. It is also home to six Medical Research Council centres – the most of any British university - and hosts the largest dental school in Europe and the world's oldest professional school of nursing. Studying at King’s College London will open up a number of opportunities to study around the world. The University has over 150 global partner institutions allowing you to study abroad for a semester, a year or a summer.

King's College London Students' Union has nearly 300 societies, sports clubs (including the Boat Club which rows on the River Thames and the Rifle Club, which uses the College's shooting range located at the disused Aldwych tube station beneath the Strand Campus) and other student activity groups to join, operates five fantastic venues, and offers a wide range of volunteering opportunities.
