Information for parents, carers and supporters of students applying to Kingston University

Having your loved one go off to university is not only a big event in their life, but it can be for you too, especially if they are the first to ‘fly the nest'.

Deciding which university to go to is one of the biggest decisions they'll face about their future. Whilst they are advised by their school or college, you can also help them in the decision-making process. Your guidance can play a vital role in helping them to make the right choice; you know them best, after all.

We welcome all parents, carers and supporters to attend one of our Open Days. You'll have the opportunity to find out about our campuses, facilities and accommodation, and find out more about their course of interest. You'll also be able to talk to some of our academics and the support staff that will be guiding your loved one through their university journey.
