King's College London

You are required to take the following modules: 

In addition, you are required to take 75 credits from a range of optional modules that may typically include: 

• A Mandarin for Research module (15 credits) may be available to students with high-intermediate to advanced knowledge of the Mandarin language (subject to placement test at the start of SEM1). 
• Up to 15 credits of level 7 optional modules may be taken from the modules offered in the Global Institutes, or any KCL Departments outside of the Global Institutes (subject to the Programme Convenor’s email approval and the agreement of the external department); this may also include a Mandarin for Research module from King’s Language Centre. Students are encouraged to take one practical service or leadership module from across the College, such as the President’s Global Leadership Award (PGLA).

If you are studying the part-time programme, you are normally advised to take taught modules to the total value of 75 credits in your first year, including the required module China and the Age of Globalisation. During your second year, you are normally advised to take Introduction to Research Methods (Global Institutes), your dissertation, and the remaining 30 credits of taught modules.

You will have the opportunity to discuss your choices with your personal tutor.

At King’s, all students on a taught programme are allocated a personal tutor who will play a key role in helping you to get the most out of your studies, providing support and encouragement for your time at university.

Personal tutors provide you with the opportunity to periodically take stock of your learning, academic progress and general wellbeing as you progress through your studies, offering guidance on how to seek further support if you need it, and how to access the range of opportunities available to you as a King’s student.
