‘ King’s has a great reputation and chemistry in the context of biomedicine really captured my interest. I feel well equipped with an understanding of multiple fields of chemistry relevant to current research efforts.’

Joshua, Chemistry with Biomedicine MSci, Alumnus

CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is known as the central science, because it lies at the interface of the physical and life sciences, connecting both, and is important to a variety of different fields. Studying chemistry you will understand the laws that govern the behaviour of atoms and molecules, their interactions and reactions, and in turn, the world around us.

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.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics has always played a central role in science and society and this is especially true in the modern world. Mathematics covers a huge spectrum of fascinating topics and addresses some truly fundamental questions that underlie our existence, the universe and both natural and man-made constructs within it.

Studying mathematics at King’s will put you in one of the leading centres of mathematical teaching and research, working with and learning from some of the foremost mathematical minds in the world.

Our courses offer a wide range of required and optional modules and you can also choose to combine mathematics with various other fields, including management, finance and statistics, or to take a route with links to the humanities and combine mathematics and philosophy.

Mathematics and related degrees have never been more highly valued by employers. The complexity and rapid changes within financial markets make banking and finance an obvious and potentially lucrative option, but mathematics is also valued in computing and technology, the growing fields of data analysis and modelling, and in areas of engineering and aeronautics.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

With students from 150 different countries coming to King’s, our admissions staff are experienced in supporting home and international applicants and assessing a wide range of qualifications. In this section you will find information and advice about entry requirements, qualifications and how to apply.

USING THIS GUIDEPlease go to pages 73 to 87 to find the range of courses offered at King’s. For each listing, you will find A-level and International Baccalaureate (IB) entry requirements, English language requirements and study opportunities. You will also find the relevant UCAS code. This guide is designed to provide an overview of the courses King’s has on offer; however we would recommend doing further research using our online course pages.

kcl.ac.uk/ug

FINDING QUALIFICATION EQUIVALENCESIf your qualification isn’t shown next to the relevant course listing in this guide, please refer to the reference table on the right, which is intended to provide a general guide to grade equivalences for additional qualifications. There are many more equivalences also listed on the admissions web pages.

kcl.ac.uk/ug-international-erq

COMPULSORY AND PREFERRED SUBJECTSSome of the courses we offer require you to have studied specific subjects to a certain level before starting your undergraduate studies. These are specified in the course entry requirements as compulsory subjects. Preferred subjects indicate that you may be at an advantage if you are studying the subject(s) and may make a smoother transition into the first year; however, it is not compulsory for admission. Full details of course requirements are available online.

A-LEVELS AND AS-LEVELSFor the majority of our courses we would usually expect to see three subjects taken at A-level (excluding critical thinking, general studies, global perspectives and thinking skills) in one sitting. Please note, dentistry asks for a fourth subject at AS-level. Some of our other courses may also ask for additional AS requirements. Please check the course pages online before you apply.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

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

kcl.ac.uk/ug

TAKING EXAMINATIONS EARLY

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.

GCSESome 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.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATEOur 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.

ACCESS TO HE DIPLOMAKing’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

BTEC LEVEL 3 DIPLOMAS 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.

COMBINATION OF QUALIFICATIONSWe 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.

RE-SITSThe 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.

KING’S INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMMESIf your high-school leaving qualification is not quite suitable for direct entry to our undergraduate courses, you can take one of King’s International Foundation Programmes – see pages 22 to 23 for more information.

INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONSWe 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.

We may also interview applicants on other courses in order to assess qualities that can’t be seen from your application alone, or perhaps when a student is presenting non-traditional qualifications.

If you are invited to an interview, you will be given details of what to expect and the format of the interview when invited.

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.

The university is committed to the recruitment of students based solely on academic ability and potential, irrespective of social, cultural or economic background. All applications are considered on their individual merits and treated in a fair and equal way, utilising a holistic approach, based on all information provided to the university through the application process.

King’s College London is committed to embedding diversity and inclusion into all of its activities to ensure that the university becomes a richer and more diverse place to work and study. The Diversity and Inclusion Team promote best practice in diversity and inclusion, to enable all staff and students to achieve excellence. The team does this through developing initiatives to support staff and students from particular groups to succeed; the provision of training; reviewing and developing policies and practices that promote equality of opportunity and undertaking steps to ensure the university is compliant with the Equality Act 2010.

CHANGES TO COURSES AND GUIDE INFORMATIONThe 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 will endeavour at all times to keep any changes to a minimum and to keep students informed appropriately. For this reason, it is particularly important that you should check the website for updates or contact King’s using the contact details contained within this document.

kcl.ac.uk/study

NO LIABILITY TO PARENTS, SPONSORS OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES 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.

DEGREE AWARDING POWERSIn 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.
