Of all the various factors that influenced my decision, I chose King’s primarily because of its renowned academic reputation as being one of the best institutions in the UK, as well as in the world.”

Not only did the teaching quality for all my modules exceed my already high expectations, but even beyond my degree, being a King’s student allowed me many distinct opportunities for academic and personal growth.”
