Kingston University reviews

Inconvenient and unsatisfactory university experience. I had applied for a 3 year BSc with a foundation year in computer science in year 13 (2021) and when the time had come to start in September, they had placed me straight into first …

Avoid this university at all costs. Kingston is a nice place but the uni is a joke. The student well-being team never helped me when I experienced bullying. Instead, they just kept gaslighting me into making me feel like I was always the …

I had a negative experience taking a short course at Kingston university. I had read about their short course program on portfolio development attended the course spending £600 I invested to develop my portfolio however the course was …

Kingston is the worst school for international students, they are not friendly, to students from Abroad, any issues of delay of school payment they are already sending you emails telling you they will report you to the immigration …

I applied for the PhD by publication and was rejected but I intend to apply again. My number of publications has increased since being rejected. I also have partnered with an educational nonprofit to boost my academic credibility.

The university library is great with free wifi access to all students enrolled in campus and those enrolled at the nearby colleges. There are several Costa coffee cafes and one university cafeteria with good food options. The staff is very helpful.

Very bad uni never recommend any one to consider a job in kingston uni specially HR kingston uni not consider a family issue just to tell you we terminate You form your position specially cleaning supervisor.

Teachers are constantly on strike every month or two – why am i paying 9k just for you to not help with my learning and go on a strike?

Worst experience ever.

I did my master course in here. I had never had any experience as bad as this. …

I’ve been a student here and i really miss those days. Kingston University is, for sure, one of the best 👌 👍 😍 …

There are two nasty women at the reception who are kept talking so loud so rude one is with long bleached peroxide blonde hair and one is with brown short hair I kept hearing them gossiping. Kept moaning about other people which is so …

Very unhelpful, Rude and arrogant lecturers, very disorganised modules. Their phones still have the “staff are working at home due to pandemic therefore can not answer your call and do not leave a voicemail, send us an email”. They ignore …

For all the reviewers saying Kingston Uni is their dream school, I wouldn’t get your hopes up. It was mine aswell, I am a second year law student who started during lockdown of 2020. I regret coming here. We have societies, but due to covid …

Easy to navigate, 2 plentiful coffee shops/eateries inside the main building, easy access toilets and helpful staff. Town House library venue next door spreads over 5 floors and has all the amenities one would need from toilets to coffee …

Gave me a final offer letter, I paid fees and applied for CAS. They denied issuing CAS because seats are full. Totally Rubbish college. Try to get CAS ASAP before 2 weeks of deadline. Else It would take 6months to get refund.

Open in holidays to visitors, great place to work for Uni students home for the holidays

Avoid this Uni at all costs. They are so slow in giving me CAS that they run out of time and emailed me like its my fault and offering me a slot in their next intake. …

I think this university will be perfect for mine at the same time all over the international students, because they have enough facilities for any kind of students among others. I extremely believe that there culture and history and tutors …

Very bad response got from University I have completed my whole procedure but in checkin I faced some issue due to covid safety I was 1day late in university and they have not accept my check in. I mean for international students it’s too …

1 star because I have to put something, it would be zero if it was allowed.

I am a UK resident who do not hold a British passport, I applied for a Master …

They refused application for no reason, receptionist were talking like she is in charge of all and was disrespectful when I questions them regards delay of processing applications. …

There are lots of overly bitter reviews written here about KU, mostly by people who were not granted admission (definitely nothing to do with the strength [or lack thereof] of their application…right??). …

I called at 12:30 on the 8th of March 2022 to report a lost object by giving the exact place and time of the loss. The secretary didn’t want to even look for it or ask one of the staff to go and check if the object was still there and told me that she couldn’t help. I will probably never see it anymore.

Late comers check in issue not solved in a week and at the end they have not given permission to checkin. for the international students at least university need to help for some mistake specially when they are new in country no idea what to do.

Kingston University has the best lecturers ever. I can only speak for the Life science/Chemistry/Pharmaceutical department. This university has the most down to earth lecturers. Even though they used to be busy with their work, when a …

Finance department staff was very rude and condescending over the phone. I was just calling to ask for information about a recent announcement and being told off with an attitude. Please remember that students pay for the university. We …

One of my cousin’s experience with Kingston’s CAS team has been very pathetic. I have personally monitored how the CAS management team handled queries or follow ups. My cousin has been through a great trauma for several months. Either they …

Studied my master’s here…waste of time and money. The psychology department don’t care about their students. Problems from previous years were constantly brought up to which they just laughed about how it still hadn’t been sorted. One …

They were legally required to share information with the teachers that I was autistic. They didn’t for three years. Eventually this created servere issues that would’ve been easy to avoid had they known and I was forced to drop out. …

absolutely a rubbish uni. do not waste your time here. I was lucky enough to graduate with a 2.1 but I can’t say the same for everyone else. The lecturers are clueless and some are actually quite stupid to be honest. I learnt most of the …

In all honesty; KU is a decent and mildly underrated university. The penrhyn road campus isn’t in any way beautiful; infact it’s compact and quite unattractive, but after all it provides everything necessary to a high standard. The library, …

It’s an ok university. I did my BSc in Psychology here and I would say the best thing about it is that they have good connections with other universities in case you want to go for an Erasmus which was the best part of my studying …

This was a great place for an undergraduate and postgraduate study. The new building at the Penrhyn Road campus has made a lot of difference in terms of having lecture rooms close by. The university life was very multicultural and friendly. …

It’s a university. And it will give you an internationally recognised qualification. There’s not much special about it. The community aspect of things seems pretty lackluster compared to the universities my friends from college went onto. …

University used as a covid vaccination centre. Wear warm clothes, very cold inside due to doors kept open. Parking in the car park at the back of the uni. This is also entrance for vac. centre. Well organised inside. No tea and …

Cant believe we have to pay for our last term in uni, when the online material is not sufficient and majority of the lecturers dont know how to use zoom. This is a failure from both the University and Student Finance UK. On exam day when having issues uploading work, the lecturers are not even active to reply to emails.

Kingston University has a lot of potential to be an good institution, however, the support for students is poor. It is as if the staff members have strict marking criteria and procedures so students do not easily pass. Maybe they should …

Garbage of a university along with its teaching, material and campus. Probably the biggest regret of my life was attending here 2011-2014, by far

I am currently an engineering student studying Mechanical Engineering (BEng) and am a direct entry to year two. …

I Studied Architecture at Kingston Univesitys Knights Park Campus. The course on a whole was more style over substance. The majority of lecturers were in working practices as well, and instead of sharing insider knowledge of what practices …

My son attempted to register and we both found that the registration and support staff(we understand are students themselves)are arrogant, unhelpful, gives conflicting information and there seems to be a conspiracy to make it difficult, if …

I have just completed a Master in Fine Art at this university. If you are looking for a place where the teachers care about art, where they care about your development as an artist and where you will be pushed to improve yourself as a …

My feedback is for Engineering Campus. I am not sure about other faculties. 🙂

In general it is average University. The facilities are good such as brand new …

Students coming for study while university faculty judge students on their arrival time and one day late means whole year waste.

Worse university I have ever been too I was a student in 2011 and had to leave due to unreleastic timetables . We had few lectures at Roehampton vale center and others at Penrhyn Road which is like 30mins on the bus or more. There was no …

I liked the environment of this college just by surfing Google. If I have to get an admission here for master’s through IELTS. What should be my minimum band score?

wrost university for international students they just want their fees thats it

I remember the woman rudely hanging up on me when I called in to talk about applying for Biological Sciences through UCAS Extra. Called in not once, but thrice and on all three occasions, the same woman picked up and hanged up on me. Says a …

Waste of time and Money. They don’t keep check on the teachers and the teachers always think they are right and got no respect for students opinion.

Not the best school in the world, but the most welcome international students school.

Worst experience with this university
Because i have clear my interview on 20 september
But they are not approving my CAS letter …

Took my husband for his Covid jab and was impressed with the efficient set up and great marshaling. He seemed very happy with the process.

Couldn’t have had an experience that’s even better than my imagination anywhere else. This place welcomed me and let me stay till I couldn’t anymore. I will always cherish it.

It is a beautiful place. Surrounded by natural beauty. The staff and faculty members are genious and helpful . Excelent environment. Good to study with peace of mind.

Went to this Uni and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Was a very practical course and I got a job straight out of Uni. Big up SEC!

Amazing University
With Good Programs
All over the university

Kingston University is my dream Uni in uk , i m applying this uni. For bachelor’s degree hope that my dream become true 👍 …

I’m in Kingston university for an exchange semester. Kingston is a beautiful city. The facilities in the campus are great. Courses are intense but some of them are quite interesting.

Coming from the US, I enjoyed the concentrated 1 year MSc program. I found it to be intense and of high quality. The biomedical sciences professors were top notch!

nice university. Nothing extraordinary

I showed my interest in a Masters but they never replayed to calls and emails!!! Informal staff, even to receive money they are nonproductive at all.

Social distance was on point. Sanitation stations everywhere in the uni and a one way system in and out are indicated with arrows on the ground and green and red circles around the uni building

No response at a time and then they blame us for late. If need on time response they should revert in mail on time.

Kingston University London, could not have provided me with a better experience of university life. The staff and students are all friendly, the course is brilliant, the social life is great and the campus provides a safe and friendly environment to live in!

Nice area, very diverse. People generally seem to be more open minded at Kingston. Granted it’s not a top university, it still has its positive sides.

Just had my Pziser vac at Kingston University it is well sign posted and everyone was helpful and it was well organised 10/10 Thankyou everyone who was there today at 2.30pm

is there somebody can manage music department？Txx is a Dr who always laugh at international students！ i hope somebody can strickly treat this thing！we are human being，we don’t like discrimination！

Top 40 in UK

Back then I had a great time, great experience, great teachers and management that pushes you and give you the chance to be the best you can be, loved it. Smashed my course with Distinctions.

This university is completely misunderstood! Fantastic campus, great support from the lecturers. …

They not really bothered about fave masks. Still students walking in and out.

I loved studying here, its not too busy, great teaching quality and resources, tasty food on campus.

Nice environment. Good staff as well.

Overall it was good.

It is the worst ever experience in my life, I regret the most for choosing this university to do my MSc, this course is of no value in India and the module syllabus is equal to B.Engg second year…university only knows to rob money of …

Hi can someone help me to get to know about the interior programme in kingston university and its placement also . please help me into it.

This place is massive but so beautiful.
It is very confusing when you first start but I’m sure we all will find our way

A convenient environment to achieve academic objectives and to develop ones soft and entrepreneurial skills while living a beautiful town.

Awesome building, and the view point from the roof garden is amazing!

It’s my dream university, I will coming soon for my foundation & undergraduate courses….

Honestly lovely bunch of people and a well recommended university and town!
