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).

How to Apply
-
After you have submitted nominations for your exchange students, your nominated students need to apply online here (they will receive a direct email from us). The Admissions team at King's admits students on a rolling basis, so students should be encouraged to get this process started as soon as possible after applications open.
-
Help on the application process can be found on our 'How to apply' webpage or by contacting the Admissions Team via King's Apply. Please also advise your students to read our Study Abroad Application Guidance Notes on the above webpage too!
-
If a student is not being nominated by their home university to study abroad at King's as part of an exchange partnership in place between our universities, they should simply apply online before the deadlines for "all other Study Abroad applications" on our Key Dates page.
