Vision and strategy

Our vision is to make the world a better place

Vision 2029 builds upon our history of service to society and takes us to our 200th anniversary in 2029. It sets out our ambition to broaden the base of King’s. To extend our reach and expand access. To deliver an extraordinary student experience. And to strengthen how well we work together.

Our progress and priorities

We have developed new areas of outstanding quality and built on our existing areas of strength. We have strengthened partnerships in London and with our home boroughs. And we have shaped equitable global collaborations that respond to society’s challenges. In the years ahead, we will continue to advance our world-leading education, supporting our students to achieve their potential. We will uncover insights and develop solutions to accelerate global progress. We will serve the needs of society, delivering tangible impact locally, nationally and globally. We’re now in the next stage of our journey towards our 200th anniversary. King’s Strategy 2026 maps our priorities for the years ahead.
