I study Mpharm where the course is regulated externally and held to a uniform standard. I also attend lectures and workshops at another institution St George's University as part of my degree. Overall I enjoy studying at kingston university.

Very much enjoying myself so far, very friendly lectures and staff. All students are respectable and understand boundaries which ch I feel is important. It's a very clean establishment with the food court impeccably clean.

The faculty and the teaching staff are amazing. I am in FASS (social sciences), and I love it. The professors are very keen on helping students, and they organise a lot of events for us.

I study Primary Education with QTS at Kingston and I love it. From it's amazing facilities, to the staff going the extra mile - I am so glad I chose to go here. I look forward to my lectures and have made such amazing friends. The library has everything a primary teacher could need, from story sacks to every children's book ever! I would recommend Kingston to anyone.

I go to the Kingston hill campus and I can honestly say it is such a lovely campus, all the members of staff are lovely and so caring! They have many different areas where you can go to study and where you can grab lunch Starbucks or subway and cater for everyone’s nutritional needs! I study adult nursing and it is a fantastic course so much to learn and you also have so much to learn with like fake dummies, they also bring in real people to act out real life situations, the course can be stressful but what couse isn’t.

I can't think of a single thing that I did not love about my uni. The teachers, especially on my politics modules, were increadible. They were all very passionate about the subjects they taught and it was a great experience being a part of their modules. My lecturers also always made sure to help me if I needed it and were always very understanding if i needed to ask for an extended dealine, or otherwise. I felt as if though they genuinely cared about me as a person and not just as a student and from experience I have learnt that this is an invaluable characteristic in a teacher. The facilities are very good, although the bathrooms are sometimes out of convenience on Penhryn Road Campus. However, from what I know this is being taken care of as the university has been renovating a lot over the past few months. Apart from this, the buildings are very fresh and modern. The library is very extensive, as is the online resources that students of the uni are given access to. The library is also a great place to study as there are loads of seating, including group study and individual study rooms. While I at first though the university demanded to to many payments for causes other than tuition and accommodation, I have now realized that they provide many services for free than other universities do. For instance, Kingston University have a free bus service that is available to all students. For the past two years I have also been given certain equipment such as post it notes, pencils and note books by the university at the beginning of the first teaching blosk. Every student is also given a book at the beginning of each term as a part of KU Big Read. Students are encouraged to read it if they are new at the university as this will give them something to talk to their classmates about. As a part of the Big Read, the authors of the books are usually invited to speak to the students about their work during induction week. In my first year I therefore got the opportunity to meet Nick Hornby, author of famous novels such as About a Boy, Fever Pitch and High Fidelity. This was an experience that I have treasured throughout my time at Kingston University. The University often invites people from other professions as well to speak to students. This can include designers, politicians, poets, activists, artists, etc. The diability department was very helpful when I e.g. needed to have an issue between me and a lecturer resolved. However, the best part of my universtiy experience, apart from the course I took, was the relationship I developed with my mentor, who was provided to me as a means of support by the disability department. My mentor was simply amazing and she helped me with my assignments, as well as with resolving issues with the accommodation department and organising my everyday life. In addition to this, she always made sure to put my well-being first, and because of this she made sure to begin every session by talking about how my week had been. Finally, while I will admit that I experienced some very annoying problems with the university as a result of poor communication on their part, attending Kingston University is a choice I know, with absolute certainty, that I will never regret. When I first came there my social phobia was so bad that I considered forgetting about attending university, but with the amazing support I got from my lecturers and especially my mentor, I managed to overcome my fear. Now, three years later, I am much more confident and I am able to conquer my social phobia if I need to.

Kingston University is based in Surrey, this is just outside of London in zone 6. It’s in a great location near to a shopping centre, gym, cinema, parks and pubs. The area is very clean with frequent running trains and buses. The university has many societies to join, this makes the spare time you do have during your spare time producion as well as a great opportunity to makes friends.

I’m studying adult nursing at Kingston hill campus. I believe it’s one of the best campuses out of the other Kingston campuses. It has a lot of facilities such as prayer rooms, hangout spots including great shops I.e Starbucks and subway. The library is three floor which caters for all.

The campus is very well structured. It is close to town centre. It has a corner store with all the basic necessities and snacks and meals. It has a courtyard. Lots of facilities for those with ear problems and those who can't walk. I am studying Bsc Financial Economics. It is a really interesting course learning where trade started, how economic thoughts have an impact of the economy. The student union is very big. Has a reception where two receptionists always welcome you with a smile. It has a pool table and lots of tables for students to come and enjoy.

The university campus is conveniently located close to the Kingston town centre, there is fantastic transport links through bus, train and car. The car park is great with plenty of spaces. The library is open 24 hours a day. My course Real Estate management is a really good course as the modules are very interesting and relate to real life. The lecturers are very helpful with assisting students with any queries regarding the coursework and examinations. The student union on the Kingston hill campus is not so great, the building is very outdated and the interior design is horrible.

The campus is amazing and fascilitates learning and experimentation. I feel so at home and all the staff are incredibly welcoming, helpful and understanding. The workshops are amazing for playing with different materials with the exception of glass, and although they’re palced in different parts of the building, they are very accessible. The studio space for art students is great and collaborative, and critiques yield great ideas. I feel very encouraged to try everything and to work at my own pace, not to stress out. There is always support available on campus. The food is amazing, that’s one thing I keep pointint out as well - its varied and has options for most dietary requirements. Careers help is relatively good, there is a portal with opportunities available for students and the staff also share relevant openings with us personally. The organisation and structure of the course is great, and guidance is provided along the way in a sufficient manner, in my opinion.

Great university. New campus with state of the art devices/software. Good mix between practical and written work as well as useful career insights.

The campus at Kingston University has a comfortable while professional vibe. The facilities are great. My course is pretty dense with various encompassing modules. Although this proves to be difficult, the lecturers provide excellent notes and reading material and any additional assistance if anything is unclear. I’m truly looking forward to begin my thesis and hoping for a publication at the end. The student Union is very active and equally caters to everyone. The career services department is active and genuinely interested in preparing you for the world of work whether it’s assistance with CVs or interview preparation. My experience thus far has been pleasant and enjoyable and I hope this continues !

Fantastic lecturers who really go above and beyond. A university that pays students well if you work there and teams that encourage you to succeed. Sure, Penryhn is an ugly campus, but inside it’s fine! Wish we’d had our own pool for the swim team, though

Excellent university with a high diversity of students coming from all over the world. Professors and lecturers are highly knowledgeable. Kingston university has an excellent structure, great staff and a very good place to study and research. All emails are responded to on time, lecturers make the effort to discuss things with you and they listen to you which is fundamental. Kingston university is among the best and most challenging universities in the UK. The location of the university is a very safe and secure area, the campuses are good and learning environment. Diverse and multicultural. I has the best three years of my life and would consider the university for postgraduate studies.

I am currently studying a masters of architecture at Kingston, I think the staff and names we have attend are so knowledgable and really do produce a good foundation of work for the uni. The staff members we do have are all full time practise running and therefore provide a great insight into practise life in architecture.
