The MSc course was brilliant and very rewarding. It was very detailed and there is an option for a every brain enthusiast.

The University is spread across 4 main campuses which are fairly close to one another. guys campus being the largest is the most versatile - in terms of what you have around. From Borough market to Southbank being a quick walk away from the Waterloo campus, theres always things to do and eat. As a masters student you can expect to receive alot of support from the university in terms of from the SU and from staff. Careers at the uni are awesome too - excellent team helping you with applications and interviews or just helping you see the different careers your degree could take you.

Teaching is good the topics can be boring but that is to be expected, lecturers are good although the quality of recordings during lectures could be improved. Lecture theatres are nice but there is very little space. My timetable is very poorly done in my opinion forcing me to go at 9am and leave at 6pm everyday with up to 5 hours free in between lectures. Haven't had direct involvement with the union but have heard alot about their work and the building which they are housed in has lots of good studying and relaxing areas although these can get packed very fast.

I am mainly based at Denmark hill campus. I really enjoy the course and think it is well led, there are lots of events and societies to get involved in where you get to know new things and meet new people. The staff are always helpful whenever you need them however sometimes there is too much negative feedback and not enough positive feedback from the tutors. Saying that I've loved my experience at the uni and will be sad to leave.

Love my uni! Received enough support throughout my years in King's! Teaching quality is very good. Teaching staffs are friendly and helpful in teaching students. Easy access to all support for students.

I study music at the strand campus of KCL. The entire department has just finished a refurbishment, complete with new practice rooms with acoustic panelling, better speakers for listening in lectures and improved seminar rooms with interactive TVs. The student union has music societies for all interests and abilities, most of which are free to join.

There are 3 main campuses which are all centrally located and well connected. The overall admin and organisation is poor which is frustrating when I have placements

In my opinion this university is discriminatory and biased. I would not advise anyone who has experience mental health problems such as depression or anxiety to go to such a university as they are very reluctant to support you. Also it took the university two years to make a decision to whether I could continue my course and also refused to give me my accreditation with the two years. I had to put my life on hold and missed out on many opportunities to complete my course at a different university, which I can no longer afford.

A great university with excellent teaching. Also has a good network system for different career choices too as the lecturers and professors are all experts in their field and welcome students for placements and projects.

The library is really amazing. During the year I love to spend my time there. There are lots of seats. There is also a café in the basement, a really nice place to catch up with course mates.

Good univeristy on paper - in reality it's mental health support was poor and I still don't have a "career" job.

The KCL facilities are a great environment to work in, with a number of campuses in central and south London. And the Maughen Library in Holborn is beautiful!!

The organization is quite poor especially in the medical school. The course is structured well, however, there is lack of proper communication with students

King’s is full of extremely driven, ambitious people from all around the world. Coming to King’s from any background, there is no doubt you will have your world perspective changed. King’s attracts the best and the brightest so confidence is key; open-mindedness, self-reliance and a steady set of personal interests will set you up to succeed in London. Strong academics and extra-curriculars are found in the majority here - it’s a big help to come in with a good degree of self-knowledge. Despite this, it is very much true that London is what you make of it. With the right mindset and a willing to get out there, the King’s uni experience pushes the boundaries which many others have. Most students here make closer friends with those from the department rather than from halls so it’s important to regularly attend class! At King’s you will find extremely accepting, politically aware and dynamic people.

There are loads of facilities and services to access. The Maughan library is a gem. However, the admin and overall organisation is poor and significantly affects the quality of student life.

Lectures were excellent and seminars also good, however there was an element of disorganisation. Many people complained about late essay feedback, often lacking in detail, it was very unclear how we had been progressing and complicated to work out our overall grade. Location is incredible, halls are great and it's nice being in such a diverse environment with people from all over the world.

Fantastic university, I have really enjoyed my time here. Perhaps more advertisement on types of societies that are available and social events.

Very small, dispersed campus setting. The facilities are ok. The course is somewhat disorganized and the careers services aren't so helpful.

A very prestigious London univeristy with a lot to offer to students from all backgrounds. Boasting 4 campus’ across the whole of central London, King’s has unique oportunities in every field, from Science to Humanities.

The Strand campus is an eyesore and the lifts never work, but if you are a law student you are blessed with being in Somerset House, which has an ice rink in the winter and is a perfect spot for day-boozing in the summer. Law is a full-on course with a diverse group of people (as is the whole university), and you will make some amazing friends from all corners of the earth if you put yourself out there!

Facilities at KCL are really good; lecture halls all have tables, there are laptops you can borrow from all the libraries, phone charging stations too and the classes offered at the gyms are great
