One of the best university in the world
Fabulous architecture
Pleasant weather
Blessed with beautiful greenery and nature
Highly expertise professor and college staff
Offers wide range of courses
Its ranked in top 30 most prestigious university in the world
Campus also has lake view ,boating and much more
But
The fees is very high and its very hard to get admission in this college .
Its my dream college and I wish to study here but due to financial problem I'm not able to fulfill my dream .
Fees can go upto 30000 euros/ pounds a year which is too expensive
But remember this fees is worth paying because studying in this college will help you a lot .it focuses on overall development of the student .
It will also add a great value to your resume
If you willing to study in UK then do apply in kings college,university of Manchester,bristol,Southampton ,London ,imperial college London ,Cambridge,oxford
These are the best universities of uk

King's College London (KCL) is one of the largest institutions of the University of London, welcoming learners and scholars from all over the world since 1829. Multiple campuses in central London with many attractive buildings some ancient and some modern. Among them Somerset House at the Strand is the flagship building. The courtyard in front of Somerset House is one of my favourite spots of KCL, with the high-flying red balloon, we can all sense that love is in the air, love is everywhere. In winter, the courtyard is frequently turned into an ice skating rink making the campus full of energy and full of life.

My child is studying there. OK, I get the Covid disruption but they had 1 year of remote studies and looks that the next year will be very limited again. It is essentially Open University but with full-time fees. It is difficult for everyone but I can't help to wonder what prestige and employability would be retained in the name after young people graduate from KCL.

Good College, but better if you go directly on the place of any immigration consultant.

Was on call to student services for over 1 hour 5 minutes because they were clearly not bothered to pick up. 20 minutes in only one person ahead of me what was that Individual for over 40 minutes speaking about. Then I called back to make a complaint and the someone put me through only to be cut off. All I had was a simple question which I’ve asked other universities and it has not taken them 2 minutes to answer me. I would of loved to apply here to study Law however I will not be doing so.

Such a beautiful campus! I got a bit lost at one point and a kind member of staff stopped what they were doing to help me. I visited the health centre (note: not a walk-in centre) and had a very helpful experience there too.

So much infighting at their Law School, budget for the school is not managed properly, the school's administrative systems are not organised, the workload amongst the support staff is not equal and there are overlaps. The school tends to retain over paid senior Admin staff who are simply not proactive and enjoy limited remits. Time and money is wasted on ongoing recruitment for temporary agency staff for their much needed front line role but agency staff are resented for their hourly rate so are not retained for that reason. Not a pleasant place to work. Would not recommend starting any studies there either, programmes can cease at any point due to its poor management and over spends.

I went for a campus visit. Infrastructure is decent. Students gave mixed reviews. Jobs after studies is a major concern. A consultancy firm was doing an activity on campus to let them understand careers in consulting.
Security is pretty good. Cafe and tuck shop both are expensive .

Having now essentially finished my degree, I just cannot recommend KCL. My course is great, the tutors are mostly great, but the uni itself, admin, culture and support are quite terrible. I have never really felt "valued" as a student, and it increasingly feels that (as a Home/UK student) the university as an institution cares very little about whether my experience is a good one or not.
I must clarify that my subject tutors, personal tutor and dissertation supervisor in particular were excellent. I cannot fault them.
However, university admin in general is appalling. Emails are constantly full of mistakes which are rectified in subsequent emails. Exam questions were not uploaded for the start of an online exam on one occasion. The deadline for the 3rd year Dissertation was incorrectly set, resulting in issues for multiple people.
University culture is a disgrace. The focus is definitely on international students and those from wealthy backgrounds. Home students are all but ignored, as are working class students.
The university harps on and on about diversity, but apparently has no idea what this really is, what it means, or how to achieve it. Standing in a corridor for 30 seconds will confirm this is the case.
The only diversity here comes in the form of the preferred value of a student's (or their parents) bank accounts - from a lot of money, all the way up to obscene amounts of money. In my experience, the greater the value, the greater number of rules and regulations you are allowed to break before the University decides to take action. Get lucky and they might even decide to take no action against you for something such as, let's say, plagiarism.
Times Higher Education 2020 rankings for "student satisfaction" placed King's at 137th out of 154 entries on the list. That places them very nearly within the bottom 10% of the universities ranked, and it really is not hard to see why.
I was excited to receive my offer from KCL, and although I have enjoyed my subject, I have not considered (and will not consider) returning here for my Master's degree.

I have been broken by this uni in every single way. I study nursing. You will get no compassion from staff unless you get a good personal tutor. You'll be messed around to the point you don't believe it. Absolutely no student support available, the counselling is at breaking point and can't offer appointments. Occupational health is discriminatory and extremely rude. I could go on. Don't put yourself through it

Syllabus of this institution is of world-class standard and learning is conducted by a deep interactive system. Instructors are very much qualified & expert in their own field. I have taken some course from this institution. They meet my expectations enough. Can't wait to take another.

Don't believe this kind of UK education. It's one kind of digital trap for Int. students. U will lose a huge money but get no value in ur career. This uni professors' teaching quality is extremely bad. Almost 98% graduates don't get relevant corporate job. It takes even four yrs fr them to get job.

Came for a course on R in September and we (the organiser and all the students) had so many problems getting a stable internet connection in the PCs room. I also struggled to get wifi on campus. In addition, the building where we did the course was so old. Very disappointed considering it has such a high ranking...

King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a founding college and member institution of the federal University of London. King's was established in 1829 by King George IV and Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, when it received its first royal charter (as a university college), and is one of the oldest universities in England.[7] In 1836, King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.

I did my graduate degree at KCL and I can absolutely not recommend this university to upcoming students. I got excited when I received an offer and thought I will study at one of the best universities for psychology. When your abroad Kings College sounds nice and like a good place to study. Honestly, I have no idea how they get their rankings they must pay for it. The professors were always abroad and rarely answered their emails. I saw my tutor only once the whole year because she was never there. No support thoughout the year and I had the feeling they do not care since they already had their money. Also the IT-equipment, the building and the restaurant was not great. For the high student fee I paid I expected a lot better. Paying more does not mean better university! I applied to 8 universites at the UK but Kings was the only one to take 50 pound application fee. Even the graudation cost money. Many international students returned to their countries because they did not get a job in the UK due to visa requirements or only unpaid offers. Says a lot about the quality of their M.Sc. degree. If you want a good study experience go to any other place but I can tell you Kings is not worth it. I wished someone told me this two years ago.

the quality of education is poor here though they charge huge fee. The professors can't make students understand clearly. I think these professor s are not properly qualified. Unemployment of the graduates is high. Some are doing very basic level job. Not recommended!!

I got excited when I received an offer from them, but that turned into disappointment when I compared the high costs of their fees for international students with UK/EU citizens, one of the most expensive in the UK, which doesn’t mean they are the best.
They pretend they are open to multiculturalism but they don’t offer scholarships or discounts for international students (just as that without any explanation). That’s what I was told after applying in a not very nice way on the phone.
I asked if I could go to the university in person to discuss some issues but they told me to just call or use my KLC account to send messages (from which I never received a reply).
As I’m an international student, I’m not aware of the so many rules and I need more support and better information than just the website.
I wouldn’t recommend it as an option.

I've not attended this place but I know a few friends who have for medicine - the course is an absolute shambles. If you want proof - look no further than their absolutely dire student satisfaction. Worst in the country for medicine year after year after year, and they just don't care. I'm not going to say don't apply here but... be very careful.

King's is overly packed with chinese and french student which both are annoying. The library is always packed, the wifi connection is terrible in some places in campuses, and the cafe is a rip off. The course itself is terribly organised with very little support for students (im a masters student on computer science), the teachers laugh at your face for asking for help and some are rude. The uni is prestigious only because the staff do research, and definitely not for student satisfaction. Very dissapointed.

this is a kind of scam college in UK , LOL. Their so called higher RANKING is just an 'eye wash' to attract those international students who can spend a lot of money just for its higher ranking. But the truth is that these types of institutes spend a lot of money for this ranking and that's y their tuition fee is very high. Moreover, QS and times higher education are the organizations of UK, so they have sympathy to keep these types of colleges in higher rank position so that these institutions get more and more students. Be very very careful!!
