Live and learn in Kingston
Kingston University is much more than a place of education; you will also enjoy a vibrant and exciting student life. Combining a small English town with the bustling city of London means that Kingston is a unique place to be a student.
Beautiful setting
The University is based in the beautiful riverside town of Kingston upon Thames. It is a safe and student-friendly town, only 25 minutes from London: the capital of finance, business, and culture.
Living in London as a student, you will be free to explore one of the world's most famous capital cities. Whatever your interests, you will never be bored, with international restaurants, galleries, world-class shopping, and famous landmarks on your doorstep.
Fantastic facilities
As well as great sports facilities, Kingston has a range of other facilities available to help you get the most out of your degree. As an International Study Centre student, you are welcome to use them all from day one. There are more than 3,000 networked computers across the University, with free wi-fi and access to library resources.
In addition, the University invested £12 million to refurbish its studios. Kingston University now offers industry-standard equipment in 3D workshops, digital media workshops, photography suite and filming studio, helping you to gain adaptable skills for the workplace.
