學校詳細介紹

King’s College London was founded in 1828-9 by a group of eminent politicians, churchmen and others. They wanted a Church of England alternative to what later became University College London (UCL, founded in 1826), known as ‘the godless college in Gower Street’. King’s was granted a royal charter by King George IV on 14 August 1829.

The University of London was established in 1836 with King’s and UCL its two founding colleges.

At the heart of our vision for internationalisation are two core values: cultural competency & having a global problem solving mindset.

We define cultural competency as the ability to see the world through the lens of others – in all their diversity. This includes people from different nations and regions, socio-economic backgrounds, races, genders, ages, religions and abilities.

Students and staff at King’s develop their cultural competency at home, abroad and online. Our own diversity, curriculum, interdisciplinarity, London location, dedication in service to society and global reach all combine to make this possible.
