Diversity

King's is a diverse, tolerant and informal community with students from many different places and socio-economic backgrounds. Whoever you are, one of the pleasures of coming to King's is that you will meet people from backgrounds very different from your own and learn a huge amount from them. Our students study a range of subjects and have different interests, tastes, political views, etc. so there's no need to worry about fitting in.
 


 

Learning and Support

King's is a dynamic place with lots going on. The formal and subject-specific education students receive through supervisions, lectures, seminars and practicals is enriched by a host of other opportunities to learn. These include discussion on all sorts of topics over lunch or in the bar with College friends, during seminars and social activities, and on student visits to other countries and cultures in the vacations, made possible by King's travel grants. We do our very best to support all our students, from the time they start thinking about an application to King's to the end of their degree course here.

In addition to the College's strong academic and pastoral support, the King's College Student Union (KCSU) has an ethnic minorities representative, who can be a source of useful information once you're here, whether you want a chat or some practical advice. The student cultural and religious societies (e.g. the CU Hindu Society, CU Malaysia Society, CU Islamic Society, CU African-Caribbean Society, CU Jewish Society, CU India Society, CU Sikh Society) are also very welcoming if you want to join with other students for organised social events such as talks, Jumma prayer, kosher meals or Diwali dinners. You can often bring friends along, too, and it can be fun to introduce them to foods or festivals from your own culture.
