Kingston University

At Kingston University, we are passionate about enhancing our students' life chances by helping them make the most of their learning opportunity and equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed in the 21st Century's demanding workplace.

Location

Kingston University is based in Kingston upon Thames, a vibrant area on the River Thames in south-west London, only 30 minutes away from central London.

Kingston is consistently rated one of the safest London boroughs (Metropolitan Police) as well as the second happiest place to live in London (Rightmove).

With so much to offer its residents, Kingston is the ideal location for studying and living. It's also close to both of London's main international airports.
