Expand your personal and academic horizons and boost your employability by spending a period of time abroad for a semester, a year, the summer or as part of a shorter, elective period. Our exchange partners span the globe, so you could spend part of your degree in North America, Australasia, Asia, Latin America or Europe. Our summer exchange programmes are open to you in each year of your degree, so you can have multiple summer experiences overseas.

in most cases you won’t have to extend your degree to study abroad, and you’ll make a significant saving on tuition fees for the period you are away

Our courses will provide you with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry, and prepare you for a professional life in the ever-changing environment of the 21st century. To achieve these goals, our courses integrate the teaching of chemistry foundations with the application of chemistry principles and techniques using examples taken from the very broad range of chemical and biomedical research and practice at King’s. Our ambition is to produce graduates who have a wider vision of the applications of chemistry for the coming decades, and who are equipped for more flexible careers.

Highlights of our courses include our integrated laboratories, where you can experience how all branches of chemistry blend together, our extended research project in year 4, and study abroad and professional placement options. Your learning of chemical applications is enhanced by contributions from chemists embedded in other disciplines at King’s and its partner hospitals.

EXTENDED PROJECT

BTEC LEVEL 3 DIPLOMAS

kcl.ac.uk/ug

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) has the potential to develop many skills that may prove beneficial when studying at King’s and may be considered in place of a fourth AS-level subject (if all other compulsory subject requirements are met).

Some of our courses will consider applicants with the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma, or combinations of other BTEC Level 3 diplomas and other qualifications. Please check our online course pages for details for your chosen course, and contact the Admissions Office if you are unsure.

TAKING EXAMINATIONS EARLY

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE

COMBINATION OF QUALIFICATIONS

INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

While King’s encourages students to stretch themselves academically, students who are entered early for their examinations should have the potential to achieve the same grade as might be expected if they were entered in the standard year. Therefore, if you gain an A-level grade B in Year 12, this will not be considered as good as achieving a grade A in Year 13.

Our offers ask for an overall points based score out of 45 (which includes the core/bonus points) as well as specifying grades in three Higher Level (HL) subjects and occasionally in Standard Level (SL) subjects.

We understand that some applicants may offer a combination of qualifications taken at the same time; for example, A-levels and Cambridge Pre-U, or A-levels and BTECs at Level 3. Our Admissions Office is happy to advise you on the suitability of your combination.

We consider a wide range of international qualifications for entry to our courses. Please refer to the qualification equivalences table above and check online for a wider range of information.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS Some of our courses have additional entry requirements. Please check the course pages online for up-to-date information before you apply:

GCSE Some of our courses also require students to have achieved a specific grade at GCSE level (or equivalent). These requirements are detailed online on our course pages. If you are studying the 9-1 grade system for GCSE, please check the website for up-to-date information.

ACCESS TO HE DIPLOMA King’s welcomes applicants taking the QAA Access to HE Diploma to the majority of our courses. Please check our online prospectus carefully for the requirements for your chosen course. This is a popular choice for applicants returning to education after a break. To find Access to HE courses in your area visit: accesstohe.ac.uk

RE-SITS The majority of our courses will consider applicants who are re-sitting their exams to achieve higher grades, but we advise checking the course pages online for any guidance or restrictions on re-sits for your chosen course. Please note that we consider taking the same subject again at the same level – even if through a different qualification – to be a re-sit.

WIDENING PARTICIPATION

DISABLED STUDENTS

ESTRANGED/INDEPENDENT STUDENTS

Students from under-represented backgrounds are supported to gain access to higher education through our free widening participation schemes. We run a variety of schemes including a two-year programme called K+ and Sutton Trust Summer Schools. You can read more about the work of the Widening Participation Department online.

If you have a disability, long-term medical or mental health condition and/or a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, please disclose this in your UCAS application. We can then provide you with additional information and support. If your course requires an interview, the information that you provide can help us to ensure that we make suitable arrangements.

If you are under 25 and studying without the support of your family, and are not in contact with them, you may qualify for the same support package as care-experienced students. We strongly encourage you to let us know so we can support you with your application and transition to King’s College London.

FORCED MIGRANTS

MATURE APPLICANTS

CARE LEAVERS

Applicants with relevant work/ life experience must also apply through UCAS. Your application will be considered on its own merits, and relevant experience may be considered alongside or in place of formal qualifications where suitable. Please note that many courses do require previous study and demonstrable high attainment in certain subject areas. We recommend that you contact the Admissions Office before applying, with details of your academic background and appropriate experience.

We strongly advise all care experienced applicants to disclose this on their UCAS application form. This will allow admissions staff to take your circumstances into consideration and will not have a negative impact on your application. King’s College London has a significant system of support for care-experienced students, including bursaries and accommodation. We understand the difficulties students from a care background face and provide financial, academic and personal support to ensure these students achieve and succeed.

If you are a mature student looking to take further qualifications with a view to applying in the future, you may want to consider Access to HE diplomas (where suitable); alternatively, you can seek advice from the Admissions Office, or see the website.

FEES & FUNDING HOME/EU

‘When you apply, search for scholarships and bursaries on the website. These can help fund your tuition fees and your time at uni. You’ll be surprised how many there are.’ Freddie, Higher Education Liaison Officer

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION The tuition fees for EU-domiciled students are not likely to be affected over the next few years as the UK negotiates its exit from the EU. For 2019 entry, we don’t yet know if there will be any implications as it depends on government legislation. However, we will work with higher education sector bodies to influence future government policy where we can. If you have any concerns at all about this and would like to speak to someone at King’s, please get in touch with us on +44 020 7836 5454. Alternatively, please visit our website for updates as and when they become available. kcl.ac.uk/study/international/ eu-referendum

UNDERGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS AT KING’S

CHANGES TO COURSES AND GUIDE INFORMATION The following message contains some very important information. Please read it before you use this guide. This guide was printed in the spring of 2018. It contains information on the courses that King’s College London (‘King’s’) intends to run for students who are planning to start university in the autumn of 2019. King’s has made every effort to ensure that the information provided is both helpful and accurate as at the date of publication. However, some changes, for example to courses, facilities or fees may become necessary due to legitimate staffing, financial, regulatory and academic reasons.

King’s dealings and contracts with students and prospective students do not create a contract or other legally binding relationship between King’s and anyone else, for example parents, guardians or sponsors.

In July 2006 the Privy Council granted King’s degree-awarding powers in its own right. King’s exercises these powers whilst remaining a constituent College of the University of London. Therefore, all students who start a course in 2019 will study for a King’s College London degree. Your degree certificate will record that your degree is awarded by King’s and that King’s is a member of the University of London. The enactment of this change in awarding authority does not affect the degree course curricula, the teachers or the methods of teaching, the modes of assessment, or the high quality of the academic and associated support provision.
