About the University
Kingston University’s roots go back to the Kingston Technical Institute, founded in 1899. It operated as Kingston Polytechnic before receiving university status in 1992.
Location
The university has four campuses across Kingston upon Thames and Roehampton, in South West London, an area known for its riverside setting along the Thames.
What Students Can Study
Kingston is organised into faculties covering art and design (through Kingston School of Art), business and social sciences, and health, science and education. Specific course content, structure, and entry requirements vary by faculty and should be checked directly with the university.
Why Students Consider This University
Students often consider Kingston for its recognised art and design provision through Kingston School of Art, combined with a South West London, riverside setting that feels distinct from central London’s busier university districts.
