It is spread across five campuses in central London and currently has over 41,000 students enrolled.

It is also home to six Medical Research Council centres – the most of any British university - and hosts the largest dental school in Europe and the world's oldest professional school of nursing. Studying at King’s College London will open up a number of opportunities to study around the world. The University has over 150 global partner institutions allowing you to study abroad for a semester, a year or a summer.

King's Sport & Wellness operates four gyms across King’s campuses and halls of residence, delivering a range of opportunities for students to get involved in sport and physical activity.

"Last year, I reached out to SI-UK, Jaipur for my Master’s journey, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling and successful experience. From guiding me through the application process to assisting with letters of recommendation and statement of purpose, and even following up with universities, SI-UK provided comprehensive support at every step of the journey. They went the extra mile, assisting with admissions, fee processing, accommodation arrangements, visa guidance, and coordination on medical checkups. I firmly believe that my admission to the University of Birmingham wouldn't have been possible without SI-UK. I highly recommend SI-UK to anyone seeking admission to a UK or Ireland university."
