Kingston University London
We're the UK's leading university for Future Skills
A transformative model of education founded on our sector-leading Future Skills campaign
Since 2021, we have been driving a major skills revolution in higher education. Our sector-leading Future Skills campaign has been championing the importance of ensuring students develop the skills for innovation employers have told us they most value.
Informed by pioneering research with leading businesses, Future Skills is our new transformative model of education, which is embedded in each year of every undergraduate course. Our students are developing and being assessed on the life skills employers most value as a core part of their learning, enabling them to succeed in their future careers.
In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, developing these Future Skills will be vital when navigating and adapting to a rapidly-changing workplace after graduation.
