We will enhance the value we bring to students, research, civic society and the wider economy through flourishing partnerships that deepen our contribution and expand the opportunities available to our community.

Partnership is part of King’s DNA. From King’s Health Partners and the Francis Crick Institute, to our international campuses in China and Indonesia, our collaboration with the University of Portsmouth and the SC1 London Innovation District, our partnerships show how working together can extend the scope and scale of what is possible. These examples illustrate only a small part of a wider global network across government, industry, civic society and universities.

Looking ahead, we will maximise the impact of our existing partnerships, building on their strengths and ensuring they continue to benefit students, staff and the communities we work with. Internationally we will focus on developing partnerships that strengthen academic excellence, advance research and innovation and enhance King’s global impact.

As a university committed to serving society, we recognise that our impact is amplified through the partnerships we forge, and we will continue to work with government, industry and civic organisations to support economic growth, skills development and innovation, while encouraging opportunities for students to contribute as active citizens. We will also remain open to new partnership opportunities where they enhance our mission, align with our values and enable us to make an even greater contribution to society.

1. Support active citizenship and opportunity in our local communities

Including widening pathways for talented local students to study at King’s and contributing to initiatives that strengthen education, health and wellbeing in our neighbouring boroughs.

2. Contribute to economic growth and innovation in London and the South-East

By working with government, industry and health partners to address skills needs, translate research into practice and deliver positive outcomes for communities and the regional economy.

3. Maximise the impact of our health partnerships

Particularly King’s Health Partners and the SC1 London Innovation District, so they deliver clear benefits for patients, create new opportunities for students and advance research, innovation and clinical excellence.

4. Strengthen international partnerships in locations of strategic importance

Focusing on relationships that enhance academic excellence, expand mobility and learning opportunities, and deepen King’s global research and educational impact.

5. Remain open to new strategic collaborations

Across the Higher Education sector, where working together enables us to advance our ambitions, extend our reach and respond to the changing landscape of the sector.
