Academic excellence

Students from Pakistan are attracted to Kingston University by its international reputation in teaching quality, supportive learning environment and proximity to London.

In 2010, The Sunday Times noted that "Kingston has one of the best teaching records of the country's modern universities with 15 subjects rated excellent under the now abandoned teaching assessment programme. It sets out to make sure students have transferable skills and offers a range of work-based courses."

In-country representatives

We have a number of in-country representatives in Pakistan with whom we work very closely. These representatives can help you with further information on Kingston University, our courses or assistance with your application.

"When we think about studying overseas, the first consideration is the top-quality education which gives you value for money. There is no doubt that the UK is still the home of top-quality education institutes in the world, which was top of the list in my preference of selecting the UK.

 

Apart from that, there are many benefits eg NUS discounts, free healthcare, part-time work available to international students that can make life in the UK more affordable.

London is a dynamic, multicultural, metropolis and the UK's capital, in other words the capital of advanced world. It is a truly cosmopolitan city where hundreds of languages are spoken daily, and where strong history and modern technology meet together.    

 

London is one of the world's truly great cities. My personal experience in the last seven years living in UK is most incredible period of life where I learned a lot and enjoyed a lot. There are perfect cafes, restaurants, pubs and fast food shops to suit every taste, in London. Traditional British fish'n'chips, Asian, Arabian, Bengali, Chinese and Japanese foods are at the centre of your menu in London. I enjoyed special, such as the London Mela, the Chinese New Year celebrations and the Notting Hill carnival. Therefore, Londoners' life is really a cultural and festive life.

 

Studying in London also gave me excellent exposure to advance research, through participation in world-class conferences, workshops and symposiums, which are organised by the professional bodies like Royal Pharmaceutical society, Royal Society of Chemistry, which are mainly based in London.

 

Kingston University is a diverse multi-ethnic place with lot of opportunity to learn about not only your academic prospects but also studying with people from all over the world. Kingston University gave me true friendship which will blossom and will be much deeper with the passage of time."
