Who we are

We're a vibrant hub of multi-disciplinary scholarship that seeks to address and resolve the most pressing issues facing our world today.

By drawing together a unique cohort of scholars, our School covers expertise in global environmental governance, climate change, global health, cross-border migration, emerging economies and politics. We're comprised of the Departments of Geography, International Development and Global Health & Social Medicine, the African Leadership Centre and the Global Institutes (Lau China, India, Brazil and Menzies Australia).

This means our research spans the historical to the predictive, and crosscuts the physical and social sciences. It also enables us to deliver an exciting portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes, built directly on our innovative and internationally-renowned research.

We offer our students the chance to acquire first-hand experience in conducting independent research, to immerse themselves in the living laboratory that is our central London location, and to engage with the wide array of education and social opportunities at King’s.

Our scholars also work closely with colleagues across King's and beyond to bring significant regional expertise to bear on key contemporary challenges. By working on projects operating around the world and in collaboration with our local and international partners, we're able to enrich our global outlook and drive our research impact.
