Ageing & Society

What I initially found most attractive at King’s College London was its central location. As my experience as a student went on, it was the staff’s availability and open-mindedness that I found most pleasant. Beyond KCL’s great reputation, the Institute of Gerontology is among the most highly-regarded research centres on ageing in Europe known both for its innovative research and track record.

King’s is a place where unconventional ideas are welcome and where personal projects are supported. I was given the chance to discuss a partnership with a private company for a PhD. King’s gave me the necessary time and advice for this project to be successfully initiated.

I am now on my way to completing my first year as a part-time PhD candidate. I spend my days between the Strand Campus for classes or meetings and Camden Town, where the company I work for (Amaris) is located.

King’s has provided me with the ideal environment to reach my highest goals.
