Eligibility for King's students
Important: Final decision on students' study abroad application to their host institution rests entirely with that host institution. Students must also meet their departments’ academic requirements to obtain final departmental approval to study abroad. It is usually at least a 60% average prior to departure, however this can vary amongst departments. Students should double check with their Study Abroad Tutor if they are unsure of their academic requirements.
Only students on a 60% average will be nominated to The Wharton School, as per their admission requirements.
King’s students that wish to study abroad at this institution should check the ‘Undergraduate options by department’ page to see if this institution is indeed an option for them.
Estimated living costs
Student visas often require applicants to supply evidence of financial support throughout the duration of the study abroad programme. A reminder that King's students on exchange are not required to pay tuition fees.
