Admission Experience

• I chose UK to pursue public policy due to its similarity with Indian parliamentary system. I particularly opted for King's due to high academic ranking as well as the optional Internship module offered under the degree. London is a great city to explore - both academic and non-academic experiences.
• My overall experience at King's has been great, I'm grateful for the academic and professional opportunities as well as extracurricular activities. The student life has been exciting. However, I expected a more practical approach with my degree (MA Public Policy) and was a bit disappointed to see the core modules be more theoretical.

King's has 3 major campuses, I was based out of Strand. The Maughan Library is just beautiful. Campus life has been amazing at King's with lots of student-focussed events happening across the year. The opportunity to meet new people from different countries has been so exciting. I've been an active part of the hiking society and I've gotten to explore the scenic landscape of the UK, with hikes happening almost every weekend!

King's College London was always my dream college. At first, my application was rejected, but then all of a sudden I got a mail saying I was acknowledged. I always wanted to go to King's because of variety of courses available there and as I wanted to get into marketing, I decided to pursue International Marketing but what came to my disappointment was that the Course Fee was too high and the course structure was designed in away that there was no practical experience included in the course. However, it was genuinely the best experience of my life. I made new friends, learned so many new things and got an experience of living independently.

I didn't join any clubs as I was usually working part-time, but I do regret that now. The clubs and social events at King's are fun and truly enriching, offering a unique exposure. I would definitely suggest joining a club to fully enjoy a great university life.

I chose this college because of the reputation and rankings of the university and its location being London. My overall experience was good, with a few pros and cons as mentioned above.

Campus life is alright, with a lot of clubs and events opportunities - but mostly undertaken by UG students and not much by PG. However, research facilities and libraries are centrally located and excellent to work in.

My main motivation for choosing this college was that they provided a unique list of modules that were not available in other top-ranking colleges.

There are a lot of clubs but I did not participate in any as I am Master's student. The campus facilities are all great.

I chose this college as I really loved their website specifically for Neuroscience. Exposure to using fMRI, and brain histology really motivated me to apply for an MSc in Neuroscience at KCL. This course allowed me to choose a speciality out of neuroimaging, neurodegeneration, cognitive neuroscience and neural stem cells - all topic very much in demand in neuroscience research. Out of three offers that I got, KCL was the best university ranking wise, exposure wise, location wise. My overall experience was definitely very good especially because of the support by teachers, who were always very helpful and kind.

There are definitely lots of clubs that you can be a part of. However, I find that bachelor's students are more part of these clubs than master's students. However, you can become a class representative. Infrastructure-wise, very developed. Many extracurricular activities as well. Neuroscience Society specifically keeps having weekly and bi-weekly activities which would be definitely something to look into.

I chose my course, particularly King's because I did not know what I wanted to do at the time of applying but I had a rough idea that it would be something related to economics and the field of finance which is why I chose economics and management which has a good mix of both quantitative and qualitative learning.

Campus life is great overall the campus is friendly, and students are welcoming, I have personally not seen or heard anyone being negatively treated for XYZ reasons. In terms of the infrastructure it's great, the business school is located on a strand in the heart of central London in fact the Bush house (Business school main building, former BBC headquarters) shares walls with the Australian and Indian Embassies. Bush house a gym as well which is really great for a post-lecture gym session with friends. Maughan Library is less than a 10-minute walk away from King's which is the biggest library in London and reserved for King's College London students. In fact, the library was the former building of the government where they kept all the records, (fun fact: it was also called the backbone of the British empire).
