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.  We do not accept student nominations by email.
• 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.
• We strongly encourage our partners to try and distribute their nominations evenly across the academic year.  Please contact studyabroad@kcl.ac.uk in advance if you plan to nominate considerably more students in one semester than the other.

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): Students nominated under specific English (Literature) department agreements or Literature majors from other exchange partners will be prioritised for modules within the English Department in the first instance.
Subject to availability, modules will then be offered to non-Literature majors from all exchange partners during our module amendment period. Fee-paying students will not be permitted to register for English Literature modules.
Postgraduate modules in English are only open to postgraduate students nominated under English or Comparative Literature specific agreements.

European and International Studies (EIS): Level 6 modules are prioritised for students from specific exchange partners (see individual module catalogue pages for details) in the first instance.  Subject to availability, level 6 modules will then be offered to Politics/IR/Social Sciences major students during our module amendment period.
