Welcome to Kingston

Dear parents and guardians,

Image of Bruce ArmstrongGoing to university for the first time is a momentous stage in the life of any new student. It can also be a new and challenging period for parents and guardians.

Having supported your son or daughter through their journey to higher education, you'll obviously want them to make the most of their time at university. This means knowing that they are not only provided with the educational opportunities with which to flourish, but also that they are in a safe and supportive environment which will encourage their independence and help develop them as rounded citizens.

This period of adjustment can be difficult for all concerned, and it is with this in mind that we have developed this website. I hope you will find here the answers to some of the questions that you may have concerning student life at Kingston University. If not, then we've provided useful contact details for you if you want to ask us anything directly.

The majority of our students are over 18 and are therefore treated as adults. However, we recognise, and value, the vital supporting role that you continue to provide for your children during their time here and have included some FAQs throughout this site.

I sincerely hope that your son/daughter thoroughly enjoys their time at Kingston University, and would wish them, and you, the very best over the next few years.


Bruce Armstrong
Director of Student Services and Administration
