King’s College London
Since its foundation almost 200 years ago, King’s College London has been cen- tral to the establishment of London as one of the world’s foremost centres of academic excellence. Situated in the heart of what, by any measure, is one of the world’s most dynamic and international cities, King’s benefits from being shoulder-to-shoulder with London’s great institutions. While King’s has a proud history, which has served the King’s family well for generations and made a profound contribution to modern life and society, King’s is neither captured nor defined only by its past. Indeed, King’s aspires to tackle global challenges and serve society in a way that is contemporary, forward-looking and unre- strained.
