I love London and decided I wanted to be at a university that would enable me to be a part of the city. I chose King’s because it has a great reputation, particularly in biological sciences. The picturesque Guy’s Campus is close enough to central London to evoke the feeling of involvement, whilst being contained in a small area, to prevent you being overwhelmed. The best of both worlds!



There are a wide range of modules to choose from, which helps to tailor the subject to what suits you. The lecturers are fantastic with a vast knowledge of the subjects, options of a year in industry and a great support network to aid in finding job experience. There is also an exceptional library to assist in your studies, as well as providing a resource for any extra reading you may wish to do.



I joined the GKT netball team, having never played before, and immediately felt like I was a part of the team, getting involved in matches between universities, weekly training to help keep me fit, frequent socials, and I have made many friendships that will last a lifetime.

I've always wanted to study in London; there is so much to do, so studying at King's College London was perfect for me. Originally, I applied for Medicine but got an offer for Pharmacology instead. I decided to take it and do not regret it in the slightest. The course is hard work but interesting at the same time and I much prefer the work I am doing now. I have decided to take an extra-mural year, which is much like a year in industry. I have been through a few interviews and was offered a place at the William Harvey Research Institute at St. Barts, in their research laboratories. After my degree I plan to do a PhD and carry on in the field of research.

Finding accommodation in London is not difficult. I was not in halls the first year as I did not get a place, but it has made no difference to me in making friends and finding housemates for the second year.

A lot of things in London are free so you can still have fun on the cheap. I have managed living in London on the minimum maintenance loan, as I have a part time job, but it still means I need to be careful. Student nights are a must, as your money will go further.

I chose to study at King's due to its reputation as being one of the most well - renowned institutions in London. Growing up in London, I always used to hear about the new discoveries in medicine that were taking place and King's was always at the centre of them. I also chose King's based on the experience I had when attending an Open Day at the School of Biomedical & Health Sciences. I liked the atmosphere at Guy’s Campus. I found the lecturers to be very informative and polite and the students to be warm and sociable.



I have thoroughly enjoyed studying at King’s and all aspects of university life. After completing my degree, I hope to study medicine. I would highly recommend King’s College London to any prospective undergraduate!
