What our students and graduates say
I used to work as an insurance underwriter, but after working in the city for 11 years, I decided I didn't want to do that job for the rest of my life. I wanted to be able to get a job that would allow me to work outdoors and outside London. So, after much consideration, I decided to study environmental science - it was an excellent decision for me.
I chose this degree because I thought it would be interesting and offer a wide range of career options in the future. I had also heard about Kingston University from friends, but decided to visit before making up my mind. I found the University provided an excellent study atmosphere and met friendly teaching staff.
