King's was one of the dream colleges and the uni and programme is quite highly ranked in QS/ US news ratings. London seemed like the perfect city to explore and live in as a student.
Course Curriculum
The course seemed relevant and up to date with the topics within organisational psychology. Some of the guest lecturers were pioneers in their field and it was such a pleasure to be able to learn from them. There was a lack of industry exposure in terms of an internship within organisational psychology, I found it to be more research oriented as compared to the business oriented.
Exams
The admission requirements were a minimum GPA 6.5 with majority of the coursework or modules related to psychology. I just took the IELTS- 8 band
Placement
The research opportunities are quite a lot as compared to internships placement within my course especially.
Events
King's has 5 campuses spread throughout London which gives amazing opportunities to explore each campus. My campus was a little away from the others near King's hospital given the nature of courses at my campus so it was the less happening one naturally. Having said that, I quite liked it overall. The library was a bit small so i had to travel to use the libraries on other campuses. There are tons to do events and extracurrciular wise. Given I was a full time student I didn't get the time to be a part a lot of clubs. I've been to some amazing career fairs, alumni meets and networking events which were extremely helpful
Scholarship
No
Faculty
Some of the professors were pioneers and leading researchers within their domain so they bought so much of experience in the lectures which was extremely helpful. I wasnt a big fan of statistics in psychology and that completely changed just because of my professor
Campus Life
My overall experience was satisfactory- the course could have been better had it more opportunities of actual work experience through placements or internships etc
Hostel
I lived near campus initially but then one of the buildings were a fire hazard and all studnets were relocated- it was the worse experience. The infrastructure and facilities of the old accomodation was amazing and it was just a 7-8 min walk to my campus which saved on travel costs. The new accomodation was average- the infrastructure wasnt good but it was centrally located so the location was an advantage to explore the city more.
