Our commitment to improving equality of opportunity

At Kingston we have long believed that addressing degree awarding gaps is an essential part of advancing equality and social justice and have made this a strategic priority. We are working hard to create a whole-institution culture of inclusivity that will improve the experience and academic success of all our students.

For more information, see the Access and Participation Plan on our Equality, diversity and inclusion webpage.

The information published on this page shows:

The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.

It shows these numbers by reference to:

The gender of the individuals to which they relate
Their ethnicity

Transparency information 2026: rounding and suppression

The data contained in the tables on this webpage have been rounded and suppressed as follows:

Denominators or headcounts have been rounded to the nearest 10.
Percentages have been rounded to the nearest 0.1

Any data that is not reportable is replaced by a symbol to indicate why, applied according to the following hierarchical order:

[none]: where there are no students in the population (or two or fewer)
[low]: low numbers of students, where there are more than two but fewer than 23 students in a denominator
[DPL]: data protection for low numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. The code [DPL] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator or headcount that is less than or equal to two, meaning that the percentage will take on a value close to 0 per cent.
[DPH]: data protection for high numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. For the percentages, the code [DPH] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator that is greater than two but is within two of the denominator.
