For your personal statement you should answer the following four questions (no more than 200 words for each answer).
1. KCL is very much focused on the importance of an international student experience. Please talk about internationalisation from your own perspective and how having an international experience at KCL would contribute towards you becoming a ‘global citizen’.
2. Studying in another country and adapting to a new education system can be very challenging. Please talk about the strategies you will use to integrate yourself into life at KCL and life in London.
3. Please list some examples of KCL modules that appeal to you and talk about:
a) How these modules correspond with your current degree
b) How these modules would contribute towards your long-term career aspirations
*(If you are a research or internship student, please skip to question 4)
4. What aspects of KCL life do you hope to get involved in outside of your academic commitments?
In your application please supply the email address of one academic referee. This must be a professor who teaches in the subject areas which you intend to study at King’s and who is familiar with your academic abilities and suitability for our programmes. If you are applying for the Postgraduate Research Study Abroad Programme, your reference should be written by your current supervisor.
King's will contact your referee directly for your reference. The reference should be written on university letterhead, be signed by the academic staff member (or sent in secure electronic format) and include mention of your academic performance, potential, and your suitability for study abroad, especially for the departments to which you are applying.
