Pre-sessional 2021
Pre-sessional programmes in 2021 will be delivered in a range of formats:
-
Blended On-campus - students are required to be in London to attend small group sessions on our London campus. In addition, large group teaching and some learning activities will be undertaken online. 6-week option only.
-
Online - students can be anywhere in the world and will complete the Pre-sessional online. 16-, 11-, and 6-week options.
-
Combined - bringing together Blended On-campus and Online options; this option starts online for the first ten (16-week) or five (11-week) weeks of study. Students are required to be in London for the final six weeks of the programme and will complete the programme following the Blended On-campus model. 16- and 11-week options.
Regardless of which Pre-sessional you choose, our aim is to ensure that you acquire the English language requirements and academic skills you need to continue your journey to your degree at King's. You can find out more about Pre-sessional online study via a webinar recorded in 2020.
All Pre-sessional students studying the Combined or Blended On-campus programme will arrive in London in time for teaching from 26 July 2021. Arriving on campus is subject to the latest government advice around the COVID-19 situation. Safety of our students and staff is paramount; we will keep you up to date if there are changes to how we teach your chosen programme or on-campus study. We will confirm whether or not you can come to campus in the week commencing 24 May 2021. If you are unable to come to campus then your programme will be delivered entirely online.
