Live pre-applicant and applicant webinars
To accompany the reintroduction of on-campus face-to-face events, we've also designed plenty of exciting online events to prepare you for life at Kingston. During these webinars we'll deliver presentations on a variety of topics and have friendly and helpful staff members, as well as current students, on hand to answer any questions you may have.
