Your performance will be assessed through a combination of coursework and written/practical examinations. Forms of assessment may typically include written reports, completion of practical activities, design projects, presentations, quizzes and examinations.

Typically, one credit equates to 10 hours of work, e.g. 150 hours work for a 15-credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module: lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, independent study, coursework and preparation for examinations.

At King’s, our academics are pushing the boundaries of engineering education by deconstructing traditional curricular silos, creating an interdisciplinary curriculum and themed learning journeys for our students across multiple years. We focus on design-centric education, believing it will be at the forefront of developing future engineers and fostering a community that finds meaningfulness at work.

Our educational approach has won awards, including a 2025 Advance HE award for teaching excellence. In designing the General Engineering curriculum, our academics draw on their experience working with industry, including leading technology companies like Arm, to create innovative, future-focused curricula that address critical engineering skills gaps.

At King’s, all students 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.
