Great college for those considering wanting to study a Business Management course. The experience of studying finance in the heart of London is a unique opportunity. The teaching and courses are good, with most professors having industry reputations. What could definitely be improved is the quality of the admitted students; although most seem to know why they are there, others have no clue and make me wonder how they were admitted in the first place!

Currently a BA YR3 student. Great college, fantastic atmosphere to study in, and an excellent surrounding, friendly staff, always ready and willing to help. The lecturers are down to earth committed to ensure their students success. Best multicultural and diverse college, close to everything you need including social and tourist information. I will recommend KCB anytime.

I had a good experience while studying in this institution and I found the lectures very supportive although the expectations are a bit over the top considering that the majority of students are juggling between jobs/school/family commitments. Good location also !

Very good location, the lecturers are very friendly and supportive. The 3 year courses helped me to develop new skills and gain useful information. On the other hand their library is not much updated and there is a lack of books.

I had a great experience while studying in Kensington College of Business. The lecturers were very supportive,presenting the lectures in an intelligent and interesting manner. The modules were all clear with good lecture notes,fairly easy to understand. The location of the college is very good as well just minutes away from Holborn Station. The staff is friendly and always helpful. Overall,I had an amazing experience while studying at KCB and gained knowledge for developing a career in management.I highly recommend this college!

Overall relatively good experience during my 3 year course. I have gained invaluable knowledge and increased my confidence. The college responded to the students requests such as extending the length of the term, replacing the computers or offering exceptional quality additional english lessons during the whole length of the course (most of the institutions charge extra for such services). Expectations are slightly exaggerated giving the no of lectured hours, class sizes and the fact that they deal with mature students with various commitments. It would be great if in the future can liaise with organisations and offer work experience placements or training contracts to best achieving final year students.

Currently I am studying at KCB ,overall KCB can provide guidance for all students which are interested to learn and develop themselves. Lectures are very supportive if you really want to succeed. It would be grate if in library students can have access for more books. Good location also.

KCB has a great location - Central London. The lecturers & Giovanni are very friendly and always open to help. The knowledge that can be gained in the college is worth, however extra readings and practices are required.

I am a currently studying at KCB-Chester degree and I haven't ever had any issues with the KCB admin staff. The lecturers are also very supportive and offer you guidance if you really want to study. There are students who have no idea about anything, never open a book and expect to get the degree ''stress free'' !

BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE.... I've study a MSc in Computing and lecturers were very obsolete with their knowledge, they have taught obsolete and superficial topics in IT, Technology is an area which is developing so fast that people cannot keep teaching old school subjects and content from 20 years ago. Quality of other students are also poor, which makes that education needs to be at mediocre level in order to have people passing at this Poor School. The administration staff and management at KCB is also a bad example of how student welfare and attention should be. They just care about taking money and issuing degrees for it. CHEAP EDUCATION, CHEAP LECTURERS PAID TOO AND THE END RESULT IS ALSO POOR FOR YOU..... I'd rather have the alternative and chance to pay for a Real University, not a mediocre College!!!!!!!

It's a great college to study, and an excellent central location. I have done a HNC cours, 2th and currently the 3ed year BA Chester University. The lecture are highly qualified with a lot of experience on the ground give real view of the business world. The administration is helpful, however sometimes there is lack of communication and uncertainty. Overall is excellent place to study!

I decided to enrol on this college,in 2014 and from then I study in here. Now I'm finishing BA year 3, top up for Chester University. The lecturers and staff are very professional and also friendly with us. John Davies is one of the best lecturers,professional and his manners to teach us are the best. Jay Singh is our finance lecturer, he is one of the top lecturers from this college and he is very professional and also dedicated to what he's doing, also his coursework help us a lot. The administration staff, Olu, Gloria, Matthy, Geovanny they are very understanding and friendly with us and for any queries we've got they give us good guidance. This college is very professional and also the relationship between students and lecturers are friendly and is a pleasure to attend all the classes. For me this College it was the best option that I choose and I really regret that I will finish soon. Don't hesitate to enroll in here. Is the best college in London! Thanks Andra Popa

KCB is higly recommended for all the students who want to become professionals! I had my HND degree in here, I m now studying for my BA,year 3, I can tell you that the staff are absolutely professional. Dr John Davies is one if the best teachers I have ever met in my life, very well trained, it was a real fortune to have him as a lecturer. He has always understood our needs and delivered his courses with a real passion and professionalism. Mr Jaysingh B as well, is one of the top lecturers in KCB, if you don t miss his classes and pay attention to his lecturers, you can become very good in the subjects related to Finance. Mr. Olu, working in administation, proved to be very helpful and a reliable person. Having said all these, I highly recommend this college to all the future studens who want to achieve in life and become real professionals, just like all the lecturers who teach here. Thank you very much!

Dear all, I was studying for one year in this school Kensington College of Business, please do not make the biggest mistake of your life by going to study there!!!! There is no management,everyone is giving different advices , they don't know what they are doing, the lecturers doesn't care about the students, to take the loan you have to work full time (5days p/w) 2days you have to be at school ,the lecturer doesn't understand that the students are working full time, they won't give you any chance, they're requirements are so high and for us foreign national it is really difficult to understand the assessments and they don't explain, they just ask to bring lot of things but they don't make us understand anything. The lecturers are not interested if the students understand something or not. In that school they have only 6 lectures :)) I feel so sorry that I have been chosen this school to study, especially SHIVA from room 2.2 the worse person Who should have a job,he is not able to understand that people have to work full time, he was always saying "you have to choose school or work!" He never care about the students, always offending,he never care about anything I could fill up a big page about him how bad he is treating the students. Sometimes I was traveling for nothing to the school because the lectures weren't there. The assessments are so longgggg and difficult even for English people. DO Not go to this school is the worst; from the management, Shiva, lectures and everything else. Please do not Take in consideration the comments with 5* because they are doing false accounts and leave comments for themselves.

Hi, If you are international student stay away from this College. I have paid them £3500 after they accepted me and sent me letter or confirmation of acceptance into MSc. Then after paying the fee I was about to get my CAS letter to confirm the payment and other legal things were done. Now, things got sore from here it self. They told me for the first 2 weeks after paying the fee that they haven't received it. Each time I called the same lady picked up the phone and said the finance officer is looking into the matter and it usually takes 1 week to get the fee's from international student to hit their account. After another week I called them and the same lady picked up the phone and confirmed that they got my fee and demanded the full fee another £3000 to be paid before they can issue me a CAS. Now, it was never agreed that I had to pay full fee of £6500 to get admission and CAS. It was however agreed that I pay £3500 initial deposit and the rest £3000 to be paid once I get the visa and get enrolment in the college. Upon talking to them and explaining my monitory situation I begged them not to cancel the admission and that I will arrange someone to pay the full fee with a week. After a week, I borrowed £3000 from a friend of mine who paid them via his credit card. Again, it took them another 2 weeks to confirm the credit card payment hitting their account. My course was due in May. It was nearly 3 weeks left to start the course and I still did't receive the CAS. I called them numerous times and they made me run around from finance officer to admission officer, from admission officer to the receptionist and so on. In the end after another 2 weeks when I called them and was a bit harsh on them, they said that the papers that I have provided with regards to my funds appears to be illegal and therefore my admission to the college has been cancelled. I explained them that the letter is signed and dated and confirms my balance in the account. They just simply refused to accept it. Now, I asked them how can they know if the bank letter that I provided is genuine or not; the finance officer said that the letter is not something which we have come accross. It's a genuine money and bank statement under my name from Indian bank which provides all the required detailed along with a sign from the bank manager. They behaved very badly over the phone and just put the phone down on me saying that they will call me tomorrow. Next day, I waited all day no call!! I however, got an e-mail saying the admission is cancelled and the refund will be issued and I just gave up. I provided them the details for refund and no refund as of yet is credited to my account. Although, each time I call them they said to me that the refund was given on 19 June 2014 and I need to contact my bank in India to check. Upon asking for transaction ID or payment reference, the so called finance officer didn't have any clue. I'm about to call them on Monday 1st July 2014 to find out more. BUT PLEASE DO STAY AWAY. THEY ARE BOGUS, PATHETIC, UN-RELIABLE, BLOOD HUNGRY COLLEGE!!!! STAY AWAY Thanks, Faraz Khan
