Most helpful review

I haven't been here for that long, but the time I have been here for is amazing. There's just so much, the teaching, the people around you are just amazing I can't really fault King's - the experience is literally fantastic so far

I did my distance masters here. King's shows very little interest in actually teaching. I felt like I had to know all the answers coming in & when mistakes were made there was NO opportunity to follow up to understand why. Essays with 700 word limit receive only feedback saying what else you should have written. Ask for guidance on improvement & you're sent on a wild goose chase of the poorly designed modules. I've only met one instructor who was genuinely helpful & interested in teaching. Everyone else defends their own position, making sure to not say anything that might come back to haunt them. Vague, intellectually dishonest and self-referencing is how I would best describe my interactions with the majority of the instructors. Also the only thing they teach you is what's going on at King's - so you don't get an actual full picture of the topic, they only focus on the research King's is interested in. 20k for an online masters is a ton, there is MUCH to be improved here.

Bad Admission, charged me £60.00 without clarifying refusal, nobody answer the telephone, nobody reply letters. Students should avoid this rubbish place and think to study at another university.

Horrible uni with some of the very worst administration I have ever seen. They are more concerned in looking world-class than treating their members (both students and staff) with respect and fairness.

King's is very traditional but slowly modernizing. Sometimes you'll feel weighed down by academia, but a trip to one of the bars will snap you out of it!

Student societies here are often involved in issues such as racism and Islamophobia. If you didn't hear, the uni recently blocked left wing students' cards and those who were seen to a security threat when the Queen visited campus !!!! King's have also not revoked the degree they awarded to the Sultan of Brunei.... something to think about!!

Very bad on careers my sister went to UCL and imperial to study. My sister had advice from lecturers re her CV and possible career choices. At least at Imperial they actually had speakers come in to talk about career routes nothing lile that was offered at KCL. I only hope they've improved.

There's loads of society's for basically anything you can think of, and they're really easy to join into. Everyone is willing to except new people at any time so it's a really friendly atmosphere.

Abysmal university, that has unbelievably poor administration. They are completely disorganised. Stay AWAY 100% There is a reason why King's is trailing in the league tables...
