With more than 17,000 students and five campuses, we offer an extensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they will need in tomorrow's world of work.
We are proud to have been awarded the 2017 Guardian University Award for Teaching Excellence and to have been named University of the Year for Widening Access for the second year running (NEON Awards 2017).
We are a growing force in research and a pioneer in entrepreneurship.
The latest Higher Education Business and Community Interaction Survey 2015/16 reported that, for the eighth year running, we were one of the top two universities in the country for the number of graduates starting up their own companies. Last year, we helped 289 entrepreneurial graduates get their companies off the ground.
Across our four campuses at Kingston, we offer first class facilities within a bustling and vibrant town, with great shopping, restaurants, bars and leisure facilities. We are currently building a new facility at our Penrhyn Road site which will include a state-of-the-art Learning Resources Centre, specialist learning spaces, cafés and new landscaped areas. Our Healthcare Faculty, at St George's in South West London, is situated in one of London's biggest teaching hospitals, with the capital's amenities right on your doorstep.
We are a vibrant and thriving university community.
