Universities Week videoKingston's Vice-Chancellor Julius Weinberg, welcomed you to take part in Universities Week:


"At Kingston we are proud of being part of a much wider community. We are deeply involved in the locality: from our support of the Rose Theatre, to our academic researchers working with local businesses and organisations; from our volunteering to our schools programme.  During Universities Week we celebrate everything universities have to offer to the wider community, both locally and nationally. "
