Starting university or a different level of study can be an exciting new adventure, but you may have questions about what your learning will look like. Below you will find key information to help you prepare for learning, engage in research, participate in lone and group study and about different types of assessment at King’s.
Reflection Tool
We've created the Reflection Tool to help you explore the different aspects of studying at King’s. Through your first weeks and months at King's, you may want to reshape or change your answers. Remember, you won’t know all the answers yet – part of your learning journey is gaining a better understanding of what it is like to study at university. You can use it in different ways to suit you and we suggest you take it to your Personal Tutor meetings to help start discussions. They may be able to answer some of your questions or point you to further support and resources.
