Guidance for Overseas Partners & Advisors

Nominations 

• We ask all overseas institutions to complete a nomination form for each of their students who plan on applying to study abroad at King's College London as part of an exchange agreement between their home university and King's College London for either one semester or a full year.
• The online nomination form for the academic year 2023/24 can be found to the right of this page. The strict deadline to nominate your exchange students for September 2023 entry is 15 March 2023. The strict deadline to nominate your students for January 2024 entry is 1 October 2023.
• The nomination form should not be used by universities that send fee-paying students.  Any nominations and subsequent student exchange applications will be discarded.
• Please note that exchange students are not permitted to study at King's in more than one academic year at the same level.
• Please see our fact sheet for more details.

Please pay attention to the following module information:

Please kindly remind your students that if they are nominated under a particular departmental exchange, they must take at least half of their modules from that department.  Students nominated under a modern language are permitted to choose modules from any of our modern language departments.

English Literature: English Literature majors from exchange partners with specific English agreements will be prioritised for modules within the English department.  Subject to availability, modules will then be offered to English Literature majors students nominated under college-wide agreements (then to non-English Literature majors if there are additional spaces).   For partners who also send fee-paying students: Fee-paying students will not be permitted to register for English Literature modules, however there are no restrictions on modules from the Comparative Literature department and students may find relevant literature modules within our language departments.

 Engineering: Engineering modules are no longer open to Study Abroad students.  There is no restriction on the Biomedical Engineering department.

 History: History majors from exchange partners with specific History agreements will be prioritised for modules within the History department.  Subject to availability, modules will then be offered to History majors nominated under college-wide agreements (then to non-History majors if there are additional spaces).  For partners who also send fee-paying students: Fee-paying students will not be permitted to register for History modules.

 Informatics: Students from École Polytechnique, University of Hong Kong, University of Melbourne, Monash University, National University of Singapore, University of Toronto, University of California, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Université Catholique de Lille will be prioritised for modules within the Informatics department, but will be registered on a maximum of two modules.  Subject to availability, these students can then request additional modules and modules will also be offered to Computer Science majors only nominated under college-wide agreements.  For partners who also send fee-paying students: Fee-paying students will not be permitted to register for Informatics modules.

Global Health & Social Medicine (GHSM): Students from exchange partners with specific GHSM agreements, as well as fee-payers, will be prioritised for modules within the GHSM department. Subject to availability, modules will then be offered to other exchange students.

Students should be aware of these restrictions when applying to King’s in the first instance, as well as whether or not we actually offer modules in their major to avoid disappointment.  Students will be advised how and when to apply for modules if they are not in the initial priority groups.
