This year, Ramadan is expected to be from Sunday 10 March to Monday 8 April or Tuesday 9 April (depending on the sighting of the new moon). Many Muslim students and staff will be fasting during this time - we would like to wish you a joyful and fulfilling Ramadan.
Ramadan Greeting from the Dean
Guidance and support during Ramadan
We have facilities and arrangements to ensure that our community can observe Ramadan while studying, working, and living on campus.
We offer support services and advice for both those observing and not observing the holy month. You can read the Student Services article on where you can get support during Ramadan.
King’s Sport & Wellness
The King’s Sport & Wellness team has created a range of resources to help you maintain your health during Ramadan. Whether you’re fasting or not, they’ve got you covered.
From Monday 11 March - Friday 15 March, the Strand and London Bridge gyms will be opening an hour earlier so that our Muslim members have some time to train before sunrise.
Throughout the month of Ramadan, both the Strand and London Bridge gyms will be providing dates during Iftar (sunset) which our Muslim members are welcome to take up to break their fasts.
For valuable insights on balancing physical training while observing Ramadan, read advice from Joshua Montella, a coach at King’s Sport & Wellness. You can also explore their dedicated Ramadan resources:
