Thank you for choosing Kingston University. We're delighted that you'd like to join our vibrant welcoming community. On this page you will find information about how to apply directly to Kingston, the eligibility criteria and links to the application system.
Can I apply directly to Kingston University?
You can complete a direct application to Kingston University, free of charge, if you meet the following criteria:
- You are an international applicant applying directly to Kingston University
OR - You are an applicant seeking entry on to years 2 or 3 of one of our courses.
Additionally, you should only use this form if….
- You do not already have a UCAS Hub account for the 2026 admissions cycle
- You only wish to apply to Kingston University.
Where you are applying for advanced entry, please state clearly in your personal statement the year you wish to join the course and provide detail and evidence of your held modules and the credits you have been awarded. This will allow us to support you effectively and, where possible, make you an offer.
To start your direct application, please find your course of interest in the list below, then click on the course title to access the application system.
Please note: If you do not see your course or subject listed on this direct application page, this means that we do not accept direct applications for that course. You will need to apply through UCAS instead.
When you have submitted your direct application, we’ll review your submission and documents to confirm whether we can offer you a place on your chosen course. If you’re eligible, our Admissions Team will contact you to confirm your offer and guide you through the next steps. We’ll keep in touch throughout to ensure a smooth and supported journey to Kingston.

- can't see your course of interest in the subject listing on this page
