Kingston University London offers a wide range of postgraduate courses, many of which are accredited by professional bodies and provide opportunities to engage with industry experts. Teaching is delivered by lecturers working in their field of expertise, including many who conduct world-leading research and have received prestigious awards. Many postgraduate courses offer a professional placement, allowing students the opportunity to gain essential work experience relevant to their studies.
The University has been recognised for the quality of its teaching and learning through the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). It is among a elite group of 26 UK higher education institutions awarded Gold ratings across all three TEF categories.
An entrepreneurial thread runs through all postgraduate courses to help students learn best business practice, develop creative ideas and refine their problem-solving skills. The University is consistently ranked as one of the top higher education providers in the United Kingdom for graduate start-ups.
Significant investment continues to be made in the University’s facilities, including advanced laboratories, studios, workshops, and collaborative workspaces that mirror professional environments. The multi-award-winning Town House was named best building, both in Britian and Europe, for its architecture.
The University has a diverse community of over 20,000 students from more than 140 countries. Located in the historic Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, just a 30-minute train journey into Central London.
