Kingston University offers high-quality teaching and a supportive community in London, one of the world’s most exciting, historic and culturally rich capitals.
Based in an attractive riverside area in south-west London, Kingston University is known for its career-focused courses and excellent teaching quality.
Our thriving, multicultural community of just over 21,000 students includes around 3,200 international students from 143 countries. Our international students play a vital role in University life, bringing fresh ideas, approaches and experience into our community.
As one of the UK’s leading modern universities, Kingston’s popularity continues to increase. In 2009, Kingston was one of the top-twenty most popular UK universities for undergraduate applications (source: UCAS).
Quality teaching
Kingston is acknowledged as a centre of teaching excellence in Britain and has achieved strong results in national assessments of teaching quality. Many of our teaching staff are specialists in their fields.
In 2009, the Sunday Times said: “[Kingston] students get high-quality teaching – Kingston’s record is among the best in the modern university sector with 15 subjects rated excellent under formal teaching assessments.”
Facilities
We are investing a total of £80 million on developments to the University over a 10-year period and have recently spent over £30 million on new teaching facilities.
In 2009, The Times said: “Having established itself as one of the fastest-growing new universities, with over 22,000 students, Kingston is developing a learning environment to match. […] Three new buildings opened in 2007 alone. […] The new facilities have won [praise] from staff and students alike.”
Career focus
At Kingston, we like to develop courses in consultation with professional organisations and many courses carry professional accreditation. Our courses emphasise career skills and many are vocational or offer you the chance to gain work experience in industry or commerce.
As a result, Kingston University has some of the best graduate employment figures in the UK. In 2009, the Sunday Times placed Kingston 37th out of 120 UK universities for highest starting salaries for graduates (average of £20,175 per year).
