FIXED GENERAL ELECTION DATES Research at King’s has led to fixed dates being established for general elections, shifting the balance of power from the Prime Minister back to the parties. This key reform to the constitution fixes a five-year interval between general elections in the UK. Robert Blackburn, Professor of Constitutional Law, has done more than any other academic to promote this change.

Groundbreaking research Professor Penney Lewis provided written and oral evidence to the Commission on Assisted Dying. This was used in reaching the key conclusion that assisted suicide for the terminally ill could safely be legalised with safeguards to protect the vulnerable. Her critique of the informal legal change, produced by the Director of Public Prosecutions’ new policy for prosecutors, directly informed and shaped public and political debate. In one key conclusion she contends that factors in the policy ‘ensure

that assistance in suicide remains an amateur activity carried out by inexperienced individuals without the assistance of professionals or amateur organisations (as in Switzerland)’ and identifies the risks associated with this approach. This conclusion was quoted by parliamentarians and legalisation campaigners and advocates. Her work has also directly contributed to legal change in Canada and a Bill in Australia.

‘ Raw personal data: providing access ’ in Science Professor Barbara Prainsack is a Reader in Sociology at the Department of Social Science, Health & Medicine. Her main research interest lies in the interface between science and regulation. She regularly participates in policy debates and other related activities and recently published a policy forum paper on ‘Raw personal data: providing access’ in Science.

Professor Ken Young wins 2014 Moncado Award Ken Young, Professor of Public Policy in the Department of Political Economy, was awarded a 2014 Moncado Award by the Society for Military History for his article ‘Special Weapon, Special Relationship: The Atomic Bomb Comes to Britain’ published in the Journal of Military History.

Rudra Chaudhuri: Forged in Crisis Rudra Chaudhuri, lecturer in the Department of War Studies, recently published a book, Forged in Crisis , which was reviewed in the Financial Times, (2 March 2014). The book highlights the sensitive politics surrounding India’s relationship with western democracies. The review commented that while Indian media typically depict their country as victim of an arrogant, bullying superpower – as during the recent furore over Ms Khobragade’s treatment – Chaudhuri’s research, using Indian archival materials and interviews with central diplomatic actors, suggests that in reality, New Delhi often got its own way in critical diplomatic dealings with Washington over six decades.

Dr Amanda Coles and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Intelligent automated systems are increasingly important and prevalent in modern life. These systems range from online services, such as journey or holiday planning websites, to the guidance systems of rovers on the surface of Mars or the systems managing fleets of driverless trains. They all share the need for a software ‘brain’, an artificial intelligence to make smart decisions about what actions to take and when. ‘My research is into artificial intelligence (AI) planning, making these software brains for intelligent systems. Like our own brains, AI planners need to be flexible and able to solve many different types of problem – without having to be reprogrammed each time a new problem needs to be solved. I work on developing algorithms to intelligently decide what plan of action to take in a given situation. In other words, given where we are now, and the rules of the world – the actions we can take, and their consequences – how do we achieve our goals.’ Dr Amanda Coles, Lecturer in Computer Science

Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery Cutting edge research, to develop and evaluate interventions and treatments and build knowledge to transform practice and policy, is at the heart of our pioneering work. As the world’s first professional school of nursing and midwifery and healthcare expertise, our internationally renowned academics lead the way in evidence-based, innovative healthcare with global impact. Working within one of the first UK Academic Health Science Centres, we provide interprofessional learning in a modern healthcare institution. Global public health issues are an important part of our research and take your learning far beyond historical images of nursing and midwifery. Our strategic goal is to improve the healthcare experience and outcomes for patients and families.

Transforming woundcare in Epidermylosis Bullosa Epidermylosis Bullosa (EB) is a genetic condition that causes extensive chronic wounds across the body that require daily dressings. Dr Grocott, reader in woundcare, and her multidisciplinary team produced a new range of dressing retention garments called Skinnies WEB™. This has transformed many patients’ lives. Skinnies WEB™ has also led to other spinoffs including a new digital data capture system called TELER. In 2013 the Skinnies WEB™ project won the Guardian University Award in the Outstanding Research Category.

N Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery offers the following study options:

Study abroad

Nursing workforce pressures put patient care at risk Anne Marie Rafferty, Professor of Nursing Policy at King’s, work in ‘RN4CAST: Nurse Forecasting for Europe’ is widely cited internationally and in government and healthcare policy documents for improving nurse staffing levels and raising the standards of nurse education. The study, across 11 countries, explored the relationship between nursing input and patient outcomes in acute hospitals. It showed that the quality of patient care is significantly improved where nurses are educated to degree level and the nurse-to-patient ratios are carefully balanced.

Dr Patricia Grocott receives the outstanding research impact award.

Perineal Assessment and Repair Longitudinal Study (PEARLS) Professor Debra Bick and colleagues developed an evidence-based training package to improve perineal trauma management. Through PEARLS, the first ever randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of introducing better perineal trauma management was evaluated in 22 UK maternity units. The findings showed that high-quality training led to significant improvement in midwifery practice and better clinical outcomes for women.

Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience Our strong partnerships with NHS trusts, industry and healthcare organisations ensure that we remain at the forefront of research and healthcare delivery. The very best students from around the world are attracted by our reputation and the research-led learning experience we offer, feeding from and into our cycle of excellence.

President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists appointment Professor Sir Simon Wessely was elected as President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists on 26 June 2014. Chair of Psychological Medicine and Vice Dean for Academic Psychiatry at the IoPPN, he was knighted in the 2013 New Year’s Honours for services to military healthcare and psychological medicine. He is also consultant liaison psychiatrist at King’s College Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts.

The origins of our Institute date back to 1896 when the neurologist Dr Frederick Mott put forward proposals for university-level training courses in subjects related to psychiatry. In 1923 the Institute of Psychiatry opened. We remain the only postgraduate institution in the UK devoted to the study and practice of psychiatry and related disciplines and Europe’s largest centre for research and postgraduate education in psychiatry, psychology, basic and clinical neuroscience. We are the second most cited research centre in the world (Thomson ISI Essential Science Indicators). www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/why/research

Cutting-edge research in neuroscience – intelligence and the thickness of grey matter For the first time, scientists have identified a gene linking the thickness of the grey matter in the brain to intelligence. The study may help scientists understand biological mechanisms behind some forms of intellectual impairment. Our researchers looked at the cerebral cortex which plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language and consciousness.

28 Research

P Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience offers the following study options:

Mental health stigma prevents accessing care Mental health stigma is a key factor preventing people from accessing the care they need, according to a study with Professor Graham Thornicroft from the IoPPN as lead author. Approximately one in four people have a mental health problem, yet in Europe and the US up to 75 per cent of these people do not receive treatment. For many disorders such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, major depression and anxiety disorders, delaying or avoiding care is associated with worse outcomes.

Early mental health intervention strategies help UK Armed Forces Despite ten years of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, UK troops remain mentally healthy and more resilient than their US peers according to findings by the King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR). Early evidence shows that intervention strategies introduced by the UK Armed Forces have helped mitigate the impact of trauma. However, particular groups who are at risk of mental health problems are highlighted and the findings show that alcohol misuse and violence remain a concern.

Potential treatment for anorexia nervosa Oxytocin, also known as the ‘love hormone’, could provide a new treatment for anorexia nervosa according to collaborative research led by our world-leading expert on eating disorders, Professor Janet Treasure, and Professor Youl-Ri Kim, Inje University, Seoul. The study found that oxytocin alters anorexic patients’ tendencies to fixate on images of high calorie foods and larger body shapes.

EUROPEAN PARTNERS

Renmin University of China Karolinska Institute, Sweden University of São Paulo, Brazil

National University of Singapore

These programmes see research students being supervised by academics in both universities throughout their studies. Students have a ‘home’ and ‘partner’ university and are subject to the regulations and practices of the home university but apply to both and register with both. If they are successful, they receive a joint PhD issued by both institutions. Spending up to half of the three year programme in another university exposes students to two different research cultures and traditions, and improves the cultural competence of candidates, positioning them well for employment in an increasingly globalised labour market. For those wishing to pursue an academic career, working in two different countries provides international academic referees and also knowledge of two distinct academic recruitment markets. Joint supervision also means access to two sets of complementary academic expertise. www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/worldwide/study/degrees

English language requirements

The English Language Centre (ELC)

To follow our courses successfully and fulfill student visa requirements, you must have a strong command of English and be able to apply this in an academic environment. International students are usually required to provide certificated proof of competence in English before starting their studies. This requirement may be waived, but only if the College is satisfied that your previous academic record clearly demonstrates your ability to study and be examined in the English language. The table on the right shows our minimum requirements for King’s pre-master’s programmes. Check the online prospectus for your postgraduate programme’s English language requirements.

The ELC offers programmes to help students reach their required language and academic skills level for entry onto our programmes. Successful completion of an ELC programme at the required level fulfills the linguistic entry condition of a King’s offer. Students holding unconditional offers are also welcome to apply for the Pre-sessional programme. For entry onto the ELC programmes, please refer to details given on our webpage www.kcl.ac.uk/elc The ELC also provides language and study skills support during your studies.

‘Coming from a different country and a very different academic background, I was quite daunted [at the prospect of] leaving home, family and friends behind for one whole year. King’s has, however, repaid in full all my wishes and expectations.’

VOICE OF THE ACADEMIC

Biomedical & Molecular Sciences Research MSc/ MRes L

‘From my point of view, the most rewarding aspect of running the MSc is to see how gifted students from all over the world develop into young scientists with tremendous future potential. Within one year of graduation, typically 90 per cent of our students stay in science or healthcare, with around half enrolling onto a programme of further study, such as a PhD, Medicine or Dentistry. The programme’s success is largely due to the six-month cutting-edge research project which students undertake in a research-active lab – this opportunity offers ideal training for research careers and, as highlighted by our external examiner, sets a gold standard in this area.’ Dr Stephen Sturzenbaum Programme Director, Biomedical & Molecular Sciences Research MSc

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Cell & Molecular Biophysics (Randall Division of) MPhil/ PhD/MD(Res) L

‘The rigorous training to be an independent researcher and frequent seminars from the national and international guest speakers helped me to learn about practical applications, methodologies used and the pitfalls that occur during the process of answering the most fundamental questions in biological science. Modern science cannot thrive in isolation and if science is to progress there must be collaboration between governments, interchange between international scientific communities and closer links between science and business globally. King’s has each of these components.’ Nikita Division of Cell & Molecular Biology MPhil/PhD

Dr Rebecca Moazzez, Dental Institute I’ve been at King’s since 1995 – I came here and never left! I’ve carried on doing more and more and have had an amazing experience. I love the relaxed, friendly atmosphere here. Many people inspired me along the way in particular the head of the Conservative Dentistry course when I did my master’s degree. I find it amazing that years later, I ended up heading that course myself. I’m now Clinical Senior Lecturer/Honorary Consultant and Director of the Oral Clinical Research Unit at The Dental Institute. It’s lovely to be able to treat patients, teach students and do the research that I’m really interested in at the same time. One thing that King’s has taught me is the idea of lifelong learning. It doesn’t stop. You can always carry on learning in order to get to the point where you really do enjoy what you are doing, at the same time as being really good at it.

‘After visiting the Craniofacial Development & Stem Cell Biology laboratory in the Dental Institute, I knew it would be a great environment for me to carry out a PhD. The laboratory facilities and the large amount of people working in the division meant it would be perfect for me to advance my skills as a developmental biologist. I was also extremely interested in the PhD project my supervisor had to offer. Now I can honestly say the three years of my PhD have been a wonderful experience. While I have learnt many laboratory skills, I have also had the opportunity to attend many conferences and network with international scientists. Additionally, the Dental Institute has been extremely generous in awarding travel grants to help me attend these conferences. My time at King’s has given me the confidence and skill base to progress in my career and the reputation of the university and the experience I have had studying here has helped me land a postdoctoral job in the University of California, San Francisco, which I will begin in January 2015. I will genuinely miss the academic environment of King’s yet I am taking away many great memories with me.’ Alison Developmental Biology PhD

Chinese Studies Research MPhil/PhD, option of joint PhD with the University of Hong Kong (HKU) or the National University of Singapore (NUS) G

‘I am researching urbanisation and rural development in China. Urbanisation is one of the most debated issues in China and has an impact on political stability and economic growth in the country. The China Institute has an interdisciplinary approach to analysing issues in contemporary China. This has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the working mechanisms of Chinese society. The opportunity to participate in courses provided by other departments has developed my research in relation to particular disciplines and complemented the geographical approach favoured by the China Institute. I have also been able to exchange ideas with researchers working on similar topics for other Global Institutes.‘ Jiabao Chinese Studies MPhil/PhD

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Advanced Care in Dementia MSc P

‘Although the MSc Global Health & Social Justice programme was initiated this year for the first time, it was still beyond my expectations. With the opportunity to take courses from famous scholars of the Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine, I gained a different perspective that will help me to develop my career further. Being a student of King’s College London satisfied me not only academically but also in every way with its campuses situated in the best parts of the city, its libraries in gorgeous buildings and with an enormous collection of books and resources, its social life offering a great variety of options and its halls of residences very close to campuses. King’s gave me a great opportunity to have a wonderful year in London.’ Arzu Global Health & Social Justice MSc

Rachel, Faculty of Life Science & Medicine During my MPH I was a full-time working mum. I did the course over two years instead of one and my lecturers and fellow students were really supportive. There are people from so many different walks of life at King’s. There were students who commuted from different countries every week to do the course and there were other people who juggled children and work with their degree. You invariably find someone who is in the same boat as you and end up forming some really firm, wonderful friendships. I was given the opportunity to do my dissertation project with Public Health England, and I now work there as an environmental and public health scientist. We work with central government and other organisations, to help to turn science and evidence into policy and practise. King’s has taught me to never discount anything as a possibility, because the possibilities that King’s provides you with are rich and great in number.

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Medieval History MA A

‘I chose King’s because I’d had such a fantastic time here as an undergraduate. The History Department is one of the best in the country with some of the world’s leading experts in their fields and has easy access to many libraries and archives; why would I go anywhere else? On top of this, there are a wide range of MA modules to choose from, and not only from within the department. I am currently taking a module from the Institute of Contemporary History on British Political History; one might even do a module from the English or the War Studies departments. The tutors are all excellent. At MA the teaching is done in seminars; because of this, there’s a real sense of being treated as an academic equal, with the tutors there to help the discussion and add points, rather than simply lecture.’ Jonathan Modern History MA

Current specialists are working in areas of study such as classics, Byzantine and modern Greek studies, English, French, history (especially medieval history), Spanish and digital humanities.

‘Having completed my undergraduate History degree at Oxford University, I felt I wasn’t quite finished with intellectual challenges, but I was also very ready for a change of scene. As I wanted to pursue Imperial and global history, King’s seemed the obvious place to take my studies further as an MA student, given the illustrious heritage of their subject within the department here, and the international reputation of teaching and research in the area today.

Fee overseas: £16,000 (2014).

Following my MA I decided it was time to try something different, and so for the best part of a decade pursued an hectic yet fulfilling career in the weird and wonderful world of contemporary art. The nagging feeling that my academic interests in historical study still hadn’t been satisfied never went away however, and I felt compelled to take the plunge and apply for a PhD. Returning to King’s to do my thesis was the natural and obvious decision.’ Philip History Research MPhil/PhD, option of joint PhD with HKU/NUS

Ben, Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences I work as a software engineer for a company called Haemonetics, creating systems that manage the distribution and transfusion of blood in hospitals. We make sure that the right blood gets to the right patient at the right time. When I started my course, I had been living in Canada for a year, so returning to study at King’s in the heart of London was perfect for me. It’s fantastic to be so close to all the city has to offer. I worked part-time throughout my full-time Computing & Security MSc. It wasn’t easy, but having the chance to follow my own research interests provided plenty of motivation. The course allowed me to study theoretical areas of computing that one rarely experiences in industry. Postgraduate study has always been one of my goals, and this MSc was a chance for me to consider whether I’d be interested in a PhD.

‘King’s College London is one of the most renowned universities worldwide. Having attended a private French engineering school at undergraduate and graduate level, I got the chance, at master’s level, to be a visiting exchange student at King’s. The exchange program was through the Centre for Telecommunications Research (CTR) at which I am currently pursuing my PhD. The subject I am working on is at the edge of telecommunications research, and only a handful of papers deal with this matter. This means that my research is both novel and creative. Moreover, the Centre for Telecommunications Research is about to become an Institute, which will add a much greater impact to it. King’s offers a wide range of services from the Careers Service to Compass, which offers support and guidance for students. King’s College London encompasses five campuses, of which four are located in Central London. Also, the rate of graduating students that start working within six months of graduation is high.

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Leadership & Development MSc G

‘Studying for the MSc in Emerging Economies & Inclusive Development has been a unique experience. I was looking for a program that was theoretically challenging, but also had a practical component in skills development. Coming from a background outside of development studies this was an ideal programme for me to understand the foundations of development, and also to focus on issues that were of personal interest to me, with members of a faculty that are experts in their fields. The programme balances theory and real world case studies that highlight the challenges facing developing countries today, while providing thought-provoking discussions on the solutions to these problems.’ Jessica Emerging Economies & Inclusive Development MSc

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Master’s degree (or international equivalent) is usually required, or exceptionally a 1st or 2:1 undergraduate degree.

FACULTIES OF STUDY G Global Institutes

Based in the Global Institutes Research in the area of international development and emerging economies at King’s, is based around three major themes – the comparative investigation of emerging economies; how emerging economies promote equitable development and how lessons from emerging economies can be drawn on by poorer regions and nations. Our research students are able to draw on a wealth of academic expertise from staff at King’s Global Institutes and King’s African Leadership Centre, as well as other departments across the College. We have close links to a range of thinktanks and public bodies for research collaborations. You will benefit from participation in research seminars, workshops and colloquia with high profile academics from around the world. Supervision may be provided from within the International Development Institute or jointly with other staff from the College.

Development Studies & Emerging Economies MPhil/ PhD G This programme supports high-quality original research, across the social and political sciences, into the challenges faced in emerging economy countries and their development models and policies. A large group of middleincome countries has emerged as a relatively new phenomenon. These countries are experimenting with innovative approaches in social and economic policy and are generating considerable political and economic power. However, neither the methods and models these countries are using to promote sustainable development, nor the enduring challenges they face are well understood. The programme seeks to advance empirical and theoretical contributions to the understanding of development.

Elise, The Dickson Poon School of Law Coming from France, I discovered a new method of learning, the common law analysis based on induction and analogy, reasoning from particular cases towards general principles. This method called into question all my basic legal reflexes. The fictitious disputes we were dealing with were very much relevant and connected to the real world. I found them challenging and intellectually stimulating – especially in my field, securitisation. In addition to being the President of the Postgraduate Law Society, one of the most enjoyable aspect at King’s was gathering with my fellow students in a café after our lectures, ordering a pot of tea and exchanging our thoughts and ideas. Studying in central London, learning from top-notch scholars and professors, making great friendships and achieving my goals was a truly fantastic and unique lifetime experience I would wish for anyone.

‘When I decided to undertake my LLM in the UK, King’s immediately came up as my first option, not only because of its elevated position in university rankings and worldwide prestige, but also due to its location.

Organisational Psychiatry & Psychology MSc P

‘The faculty staff members are friendly and helpful with their advice. King’s helped us to gain a vast in-depth knowledge and practical experience by inviting leading firms into the UK to share with us how they implement HR functions in their companies. This is what makes the academic experience at King’s very attractive. After attending several career fairs hosted by King’s and utilising their careers service, I succeeded in being awarded an internship in public relations with a leading firm in London. After I graduate from King’s my plan is to get professional experience in Human Resources with one of the industry leading companies and to gain extra professional qualifications which will help me with my longterm future goal to set up my own business in consultancy.’ Maen Human Resource Management & Organisational Analysis MSc

the epigenetic basis of disease and biological traits. We apply functional genomics and study autoimmunity to understand the molecular pathology of genetic disease and to validate therapeutic targets. Stem cells are used to understand how the differentiated state of tissues is maintained, to investigate the molecular basis of disease and for regenerative medicine.

We use a range of techniques from molecular genetics, cell biology and biochemistry to animal models and clinical trial design to undertake research that tackles fundamental questions of infection and immunity. This includes investigating the dynamic interplay between host defence mechanisms and viral and microbial determinants, which can expose the genetic basis of disease. We investigate why and how host defence mechanisms mistakenly target uninfected tissues, causing autoimmune diseases, and ask whether such mechanisms can be directed against tumours. We examine whether immunoregulation can limit transplant rejection and which processes underlie successful vaccination of humans. Head of Division: Professor Mike Malim. Fee UK/EU: £4,500 (2014).

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Clinical Neuroscience MSc

‘After medical school I decided to pursue a career in academic neurology. I sought a master’s focusing on links between basic science and neurological diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease and Alzheimer’s. The Clinical Neuroscience MSc met these criteria and I was delighted that most lectures and activities are led by neurologists who see patients and undertake research. I opted to do neuro-genetic research of Motor Neurone Disease. This gave me the opportunity to work under the supervision of one of the most influential labs worldwide in the Motor Neurone Disease research field. Next is a neurology residency in Canada where I will interact with patients while undertaking basic neuroscience research. The different approaches to learning included a free online research methods module that involved small group discussion with PhD students. The course has been enjoyable and invaluable, improving my knowledge, research skills, academic writing and critical assessment.’ Mustafa Clinical Neuroscience MSc

Sarah, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery I’ve lived in Abu Dhabi since 2007 and work at Corniche Hospital, which is home to the UAE’s largest neonatal unit. During my MSc, I flew to London for my lectures every week from Abu Dhabi, which was tiring, but the passion of my lecturers made it worthwhile. You can really see it in their eyes and the way they teach: they really love their subjects. King’s has an excellent reputation internationally and is well known in the Middle East. Now that I have a master’s from King’s, people look to me for advice and guidance. My MSc is a stepping-stone toward further career development.

VOICE OF THE ACADEMIC

Diabetes Clinical Care and Management MSc/PG Dip/ PG Cert N

‘The best evidence-based care combines the critical application of the most up-to-date research, with the clinician’s expertise, and the patient’s values. I am proud to be part of an organisation that champions all three in order to deliver compassionate, personcentred care. As a lecturer in mental health, I am particularly interested in the relationship between physical and mental health and research at King’s has demonstrated the importance of healthcare professionals in all fields of practice being able to meet people’s physical-, psychologicaland sociological-health needs. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some inspirational teachers, practitioners, researchers, and excellent students but what gives me the greatest satisfaction is continuing to learn from working with my colleagues, students and research participants who are equally passionate about and committed to providing the highest standards of care.’ Ian Noonan Lecturer, Department of Mental Health

‘My experience of being a PhD student in the faculty of nursing has been fantastic. I have had the opportunity to explore a range of different areas of research, and to learn from academics with a variety of different specialities. My supervisors have been really supportive throughout, and have made themselves accessible to me. The faculty, as a whole, takes the need to look after students very seriously, and that has been apparent in all of the activities that I have been involved in. All of the staff are helpful and efficient and always carry out their duties with a smile, which makes it a really nice place to be. There are lots of courses and learning opportunities so students can get up to speed with everything they need to do on their courses.

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Film Studies MA (Film & Philosophy pathway available) A

‘As I knew King’s from my bachelor’s, it was an obvious choice for me to continue my studies here; I was well aware of the high quality of teaching and research in the department. It is, without a doubt the best located place to be studying Theatre & Performance – right in the heart of London, with incredible opportunities to experience and take part in the cultural and academic life of the capital. I feel that I’ve gained a solid grounding in the theoretical approaches to theatre and performance, and as someone without a background in performance of any kind, investigating performance as research has had a huge and productive effect on my practice.

Specialise in musicology, ethnomusicology, or composition in a multidisciplinary environment. Composers benefit from one-to-one lessons with their chosen teacher, as well as participation in seminars and have the opportunity of hearing their compositions performed by our resident ensemble Lontano. Musicologists and ethnomusicologists choose from historical, sociocultural, analytical and theoretical seminars (including philosophy and performance studies topics) led by distinguished staff in the field. Up to a third of your module choices may be from SOAS Music Department or other humanities departments at King’s. This programme is ideal as a foundation for further research or composition at doctoral level, or to build on existing skills.

I would absolutely recommend the course, both to those hoping to continue studying and to those looking to find work in the arts industry.’ Tom Theatre & Performance Studies MA

Fee UK/EU: £4,500 (2014). Fee overseas: £16,000 (2014).

Our research focuses on the intersection of digital tools and methods with one or more artefacts or processes studied in the humanities or interpretative social sciences. It varies in emphasis between practical, experimental and theoretical work. We may use modelling to raise the epistemological question of how we know what we know; to explore implications of evidence too abundant, fragmentary, elusive or complex for other approaches; or to develop entirely new views of a subject. Theoretical models may be developed for poorly understood or emergent digital phenomena. Examples include reconstruction of historical persons from scattered evidence, imagining of diasporic communities online, modelling of literary context, exploration of the relationship between verbal description and visual representation, or formation of identity in online games.

‘Studying in the Music Department allows me to be part of an excellent centre for research in 18th-century music, as well as providing a number of exciting interdisciplinary projects, either within or connected to King’s, that are relevant to my studies. Having completed both my BMus and master’s in Eighteenth-century Studies at King’s, I was convinced that it was the best place for me to continue my postgraduate studies. I have found the level of support and supervision from the staff excellent throughout my time here, and the weekly department colloquia provide frequent opportunities for interaction with external speakers, music department staff and other research students. Termly student conferences organised within the music department and opportunities to become teaching assistants for undergraduate courses allow students to develop valuable professional skills in a friendly, constructive environment.’ Hannah Music Research MPhil/PhD

I’m now a professor in Developmental Psychopathology at University College London, where I have set up my own research unit – the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit. My research focuses on why some children develop persistent antisocial behaviour. The IoPPN is such a vibrant intellectual environment; it’s easy to find yourself chatting to the best mental health researchers in the world. I still collaborate with inspiring academics at King’s.

‘Following my first degree I was looking for psychology-related work in a clinical or research setting. I’d been told by my previous supervisors that the IoP was the place to go for postgraduate study in psychology. I’m based in Psychosis Studies, which is one of the world’s largest concentrations of researchers in this field. It has very strong links with clinical services, meaning there are plenty of opportunities for learning through talks, conferences and training. The best thing about being a student here is the people it’s enabled me to meet and work with, from the most senior to the most junior.

The Most Reverend Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Faculty of Arts & Humanities King’s student numbers are seven times greater than when I was a postgraduate student here, studying Theology in the 1960s. I came out of a situation where education seemed to be about providing students with correct answers. It was an exhilarating experience to find that at King’s, your teachers did not supply you with answers. They supplied you with evidence. You then had to find the answer that most satisfied the evidence that was available. I credit King’s with enabling me to have returned to South Africa with a far greater, proper self-confidence than I would have had had I not come here. These are wonderfully exciting times for King’s College London. The constant growth and development of the university is a source of enormous pride to me, and of course to all King’s alumni. I am so very proud of King’s and of the work it has done and continues to do. Theology MA To hear more from our alumni visit www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/why/alumni

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Biblical Studies MA, with pathways (Language & Literature; Theology) A

‘I was actually looking at a job advertised on the National Gallery’s website when I saw a reference to my course. Intrigued, I had a look at the King’s site and although I had never considered doing a master’s it suddenly seemed to be exactly what I was looking for: an opportunity to focus my interests and learn more about a field I was hoping to work in. For several years I had been thinking about ‘Christian art’, in particular what it might look like today, along with its place and function. To embark upon such a course of study may seem unusual for someone like myself with many years of working life already behind them but my first year is more than fulfilling my expectations, with great teaching, good support, and a wealth of resources available.’ Wendy Christianity & the Arts MA

VOICE OF THE ACADEMIC

Religion in Contemporary Society MA A

‘As an intellectual historian working on contemporary Islam, my interests extend beyond the strictly ‘religious’ into the ways present-day Muslims engage with globalisation, multiculturalism, secularisation, human rights and other political, cultural and philosophical questions arising in an increasingly interconnected world. My own research on these topics feeds into the taught master’s modules, attracting not only students in religions, but also area studies, history, law, political and social sciences.

Adrian, Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy As the director of publications and a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, I now get to look into everything from the potential impact of cyber weapons on the conduct of warfare, to stability in Central Africa. It’s really enriching to get to focus on subjects at work every day that interest me so much. The most inspiring part of my master’s was the teaching quality. King’s attracts the best academics, so in addition to fantastic staff, we had a lot of guest lecturers who were at the forefront of research in conflict, security and development. My course taught me to approach topics with a healthy skepticism: to never take things at face value and to always understand why someone is saying what they’re saying. It’s such a useful skill well beyond academia; it’s very useful in a professional context as well.

‘To attend King’s has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Some of the advantages: world-renowned faculty and expertise, links with governments and international organizations, its diverse, proactive and fascinating student community.

VOICE OF THE STUDENT

Security, Leadership & Society MSc G

‘Attracted by the reputation of the department and the accessibility to a wealth of resources; archives, books and lectures, I chose King’s. The professors work tirelessly to make you not only more knowledgeable but I believe also better members of society. I cannot count the number of times I have left a lecture room challenged, enticed and inspired about my programme. They go above and beyond to organise special lectures and to ensure that you are equipped with skills that employers are looking for. I had the opportunity to intern in the Department of War Studies, concerning myself with communications and social media. Getting the opportunity to work under Dr. Peter Busch (a former journalist turned academic), he provided not only the technical skills to learn the craft but conversations with him which allowed me to help contextualise the role of media in society.’ Mani International Relations MA

‘I came to King’s for my MA in Conflict, Security and Development in 2010 and it was the extraordinary quality of the staff, programme, fellow students and stunning facilities that brought me back for the PhD in 2013. The immeasurable support and guidance of my two supervisors Vivienne Jabri (PhD) and Rudra Chaudhuri (MA) stand out as noteworthy cases of exemplary teaching staff. The combination of faculty and diverse thematic focus are par none and lends an optimal learning environment and a broad range of skills and lenses from which to engage in the professional world afterwards.

Additionally, the programmes allow you an opportunity to make friends and settle into campus life before starting your postgraduate degree studies. You will be taught through a combination of lectures and seminars and assigned a personal tutor who you will meet on a regular basis. You will have full access to King’s facilities from day one and study in a multicultural environment with like-minded students from all over the world.

Graduate prospects Of our students who successfully complete their IPP and choose to continue their education in the UK, typically around 75 per cent progress to postgraduate study at King’s or at other Russell Group universities including University College London (UCL), London School of Economics (LSE), Durham University, the University of Southampton and Imperial College London among others.

Entry requirements: You should have completed a full undergraduate degree programme and graduated from university with a good Grade Point Average (GPA), equivalent to a minimum upper second class degree. There are different language levels for September and January entry points (please refer to the ELC website for details). It is your responsibility to ensure that your GPA is sufficient for the postgraduate programme you wish to apply for. Fees: See www.kcl.ac.uk/elc

The Pre-sessional Programmes run during the summer and focus on academic English and generic postgraduate study skills. They are designed for international students who already hold an offer to study at postgraduate level at King’s or at other UK universities and either need to improve their language level in order to meet the linguistic requirement of their offer, or just wish improve their current level. If your postgraduate degree offer is from King’s, successful completion of the course will fulfil any language condition of your offer and you will not be required to retake any external English exams to progress. If you already hold an unconditional offer, you may choose to take a Presessional as additional preparation and practice before starting your postgraduate studies. Entry requirements: A conditional or unconditional offer to study at King’s or another UK university. Each Pre-sessional entry point has different language requirements which vary by academic subject area (please refer to the ELC website for details).

‘I chose King’s Pre-sessional because it’s known as the best among the University of London. I was offered courses from other universities but I preferred King’s because of the quality of classes and teachers. The course was very useful for me to improve my essay writing skills at postgraduate level. It helped me develop my analytical and critical thinking, which are essential skills when writing an essay. I strongly recommend these programmes to international students, even to students who meet the score of the IELTS. Postgraduate level writing skills are different from the IELTS essay. You need academic analysis and to be able to explain your opinions objectively. The Pre-sessional will help you develop these skills in an efficient way. In fact, I always use the materials of the Pre-sessional course when I write my master’s essays!’ Setsuko Pre-sessional student now studying Conflict, Security and Development MA at King’s
