We’ll connect you to a range of activities that will help you develop, both inside the classroom and out to make sure you graduate with more than just your degree. Visit www.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/student-life to explore what student life is really like and discover all the activities you can get involved in when you join our welcoming and inclusive student community. 

Kingston Students’ Union offer 60 societies, whether you want to campaign for a cause, enjoy playing video games or reading. There are also over 30 different sports clubs ranging from football and hockey to cheerleading and snow sports.  

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is ideally situated where leafy Surrey meets the hustle and bustle of London. It offers the perfect combination of modern city living with a relaxed small-town feel with its mix of markets, museums, restaurants, shopping and clubs. Better still, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the capital within half an hour of getting on a train.
