Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at King's College London, University of London

There is absolutely zero disability access of any kind - DO NOT GO HERE if you have any form of disability.

I am visually impaired and all the lectures are available only as PDFs or slide shows of PDFs, there is no option to receive any of the info via typed text that a screen reader can access. The exams involve looking at jpgs of graphs, there is no option for visually impaired students at all. read full review
Tight schedule and lot of material to cover, but apart from that the staff and lecturers are on board with everything. Demanding but very helpful and approachable. Great facilities and support from every site. read full review
So here's my experience as a postgraduate student at KCL:

The student support services were excellent, they've put in a lot of effort to support our academic skills (e.g academic writing support, workshops on various skills related to our field, etc.), employability skills (CV reviews, workshops on working in different sectors within our field, etc.), employment opportunities at the campus, and accommodation services.

In addition to that, we had access to a lot of lectures and conferences that involved academic experts and people from different industries.

As a postgraduate student, I didn't have much time left to get involved in the activities of any student societies. I don't think my peers had time as well. We normally had our lessons late so we couldn't participate in many of the activities of the student societies. For instance I couldn't take part in the football games because some of the games coincided with the classes.

The only thing that could be improved was that the university didn't really have a campus feel to it, there's not really much the university could do about it being located in central London. If you are looking for a university with a campus feel—living in campus, activities all day long, etc. Then you might want to consider a different university.

Overall, I'd say it was a great experience for me because it had everything I wanted and needed. I was a postgraduate student and knew I wasn't going to spend much time on extracurricular activities so the campus feel wasn't a main priority for me. read full review
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at kings after completing my Bsc in adult nursing during the peak of Covid and after having to do my final placement - I was very pleased with the support I was offered at King’s and will recommend the university to anyone read full review
I am an online distance learner and believe there are better ways they could make us feel inclusive and thought of. Seems a distinct split in 'student experience' for those that are on campus and those of us online world wide... read full review
More consideration for planning events for people with kids. Child care options. Family housing. read full review
Strikes have been very disruptive. I do not blame the people striking but I do blame the people running the university. I am not impressed by the communications coming our from the top people at the Uni. They have come across (to me) as slightly blaming the staff that are striking and should accept that they have not done enough to look after their staff. read full review
My faculty is poorly organised with bad communication around deadlines, feedback, lectures, etc. read full review
King's location and student life make it a great place to study. You are in the heart of central London so there are many off campus activities to enjoy. On campus is also great because of the student union creating a welcoming environment.

The biggest issue I have with the university is the lack of library study spaces. Each campus has about one library which simply cannot accommodate all the students at King's. I'd like to see more study spaces. read full review
