Enjoying the place in which you study is very important and we do everything possible during your visit to give you a feel for what life is like as a King's geographer. In addition to a discussion with staff, applicants attend human and physical geography talks, have lunch with current students and are shown around the College and locality. At the same time, the discussion session enables you to obtain more information and assess the character of the Department, the College and our location in London. Your school or college will be able to help you fill in your form. If you need any further help, our admissions tutors are willing to offer advice.
Many students now take a gap year and requests to defer entry are viewed sympathetically.
Although a few students experience short-term problems of readjusting to education, most do not. If your time is used constructively, a year out can bring real benefits in broadening horizons or gaining work experience at home or abroad. None at all. Students on single honours degrees can choose any course in human geography or in physical geography. Courses are examined at the end of each year.
