Great campus. Wonderful people. Staff are here to help and eager to help as well. Only main complaint is the organisation is a bit sloppy and needs to be improved.

I find my university to be a wonderfully warm, welcoming and organised place. Socially; the people are friendly, helpful and have made my time there very smooth. I love being in central London, and my university offers many opportunities for clubs, extra study, and social events.

The course I am doing is called LLM(Masters of Laws). The program has over 6 different pathways with variety of modules available. The teaching staff is great and overall it was a great experience. The university has an excellent library, which is one of the most beautiful building in London - Maughan Library. There are several campuses in different parts of London and overall I was satisfied with my year at King's.

King's College London has many great facilities and opportunities for extracurricular and social activities. It is in central london and has a vibrant nightlife culture. I enjoyed the multicultural student life and made life long friends. The student support services are very helpful and so are the lecturers, I was able to ask for advise when I needed to. Everyone is really friendly in the department. My course (Biomedical Sciences BSc) was well organised and modules provided to choose from were tailored to people's career interests. The careers service were also really good, we had workshops every couple of weekd to learn skills and about options for careers.

King's College London (Guy's campus) is a well organised university. It had many great facilities and opportunities for extrscurricular and social engagements. It had a veey welcoming atmosphere and I enjoyed the multicultural student life. The student support services are very helpful and so are the lecturers.

I am based at Guy's campus and I think it's a got a really nice atmosphere to it. It has a beautiful green space in the middle and easy to get to the different buildings. I like the Shed which is a student run café and informal space to chill and play table tennis. The campus as a whole is great location too in terms of transport and things to do/see such as borough market and The Shard. The facilities like the libraries are great but it gets busy and packed very quickly! There are ample number of group study spaces too which come handy with working with mates. There are loads of computer rooms which is essential not only for courseworks and dissertations but also for watching over lecture capture, but the lecture recordings can often be poor quality or not even recorded. Regarding my course(Medical Physiology), I've really enjoyed it despite the build of stress over the years particularly in 3rd year. They have a range of subjects that all biological science students have a choice of when selecting modules. Specifically to physiology, I've enjoyed endocrinology and diabetes, exercise physiology and human form and function modules to name a few. I do wish more practicals were in place for physiology. It was all generally organised well and no hic-ups. There is also a good careers service on board able to provide advice for your career aspirations which I've tried and found helpful. I definitely recommend the uni and my course.

Good reputation Amazing course- I study mental health nursing and it's 50% placement and 50% academic. I really enjoy placement because it's more practical, you get to know the patients, understand more about the role as a nurse on placements. Uni work quite hard- because we have to complete placement hours, on top of that we have exams and essays to complete is very daunting and hard. I struggled a lot with the academic part. Teaching is good

I liked the university and how spread out its campuses were over London. Gave you a taste of different areas of central London. I do think the organisation as a whole of the university is good, and there are plenty of resources available for societies and events. However I did feel that my informatics department wasn’t the best organised as we were left with old outdated material to learn for a few of our modules in second and third year of computer science

As a student in the department of music, I was thoroughly impressed with the teaching of all the academic staff. The administration however was generally poor, exam and essay results were consistently late, and timetable errors meant many students had to swap modules weeks into term. The campus is built on three staircases and so has absolutely no wheelchair access.

The university location is fantastic, easy access straight into Covent Garden and you can’t go wrong with amount of stuff there is to do in London. Can never get bored. The organisation was great, I found the uni experience good only slightly hampered by the fact that I lived at home. But all things considered it was fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying Law at Kings. There were some modules in particular that were taught very well including family law and company law. My third year was by far the smoothest. Unfortunately there were some things that I was not particularly pleased with, especially in first year. Eg. What career options there are for lawyers, how to properly answer a problem question and essay question, what extra reading is necessary to get a first. These were all questions I had to answer myself.

Overall this is an excellent university, with world class research. The university tends to have the latest equiment and organises many external expert lectures for us. The level of support students receive could be improved, and the student union should have more of a presence on the campuses. There are many last minute updates which can often be inconvenient.

I've loved my time at King's College London. They've helped me in terms of my academic work and hospital placements as im a student midwife. It's been such a good experience so far and I'm looking forward to my third and final year starting September! KCL offer all of the best clubs and societies as well as good library facilities, amazing lecturers and personal tutors, and wonderful sports clubs.

Mostly Overrated university. Staying there only for the name although education is overpriced and professors aren’t so good. Not much help. Communication is awful. Students are mostly full of themselves. But it’s KCL !!! Worth the name!!!..... right?

There are so many campuses around London, most in very central locations, so if you love commuting this is the place for you.

The campus are in the centre of London so if you have a free time in between classes it’s very accessible to all other activities. Kings ensures that the facilities are all up to date although they’re not perfect. The student union is great if you need some advice or maybe if you’re looking into earning a bit of extra money because trust me you’ll need it living in London! One of the greatest things in KCL is the services they provide so this can vary from counselling to even giving you financial advice and if definitely urge you to use these unlike me who didn’t realise until my final year! I’m just about to graduate but overall, my experience was super amazing. This university really is just as amazing as what it seems.

The Strand Campus is a bit of a maze but you get used to it. I studied Classics and the lecturers were overall quite good, but very harsh markers.

I studied European Studies (German Pathwayat Kings College London. I was generally very happy with the course. However, at times I felt like it was too multidisciplinary and we were never fully prepared to speak at a German academic level in our year abroad.

Great uni set in the heart of London. Great level of facilities on each campus, many libraries and gyms. The careers service is extremely useful, giving support and advice at every stage in your career.

The locations are amazing, and obviously a reputable uni. But very stressful, lecturers are hit and miss in terms of responding and being helpful. Some lecturers in my experience treat you like school children.

Great uni if you like to be in the heart of London. Great to be part of an amazing city. Good teaching and great clubs. Downsides is that the accommodation is very widely spaced and there is no real campus feel

The campus are spread out over london. Some are more well updated than others. The computers are always taken. The food is overpriced. The gyms and lecturers themselves are great. The calibar of students is great. Cpurse organisation was not great but not to bad.
