    fourth largest endowment of any university in the United Kingdom, and the largest of any in London. King's is the fifth-largest university in the United Kingdom by total enrolment[5] and receives over 70,000 undergraduate applications per year, making it the fourth-most popular university in the UK by volume of applications.[12]

    King's is a member of academic organisations including the

    Queen Elizabeth II having been patron.[16]

    King's alumni and staff include

    Golden Globe, and one Booker Prize
    .

    History

    Main article: History of King's College London

    Foundation

    King George IV, shown in a portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence

    King's College, so named to indicate the patronage of

    Anglicans.[21] The secular nature of London University gained disapproval, indeed, "the storms of opposition which raged around it threatened to crush every spark of vital energy which remained".[22]

    The creation of King's College as a rival institution represented a Tory response to reassert the educational values of the established order.[23] More widely, King's was one of the first of a series of institutions which came about in the early nineteenth century as a result of the Industrial Revolution and great social changes in England following the Napoleonic Wars.[24] By virtue of its foundation King's has enjoyed the patronage of the monarch, the Archbishop of Canterbury as its visitor and during the nineteenth century counted among its official governors the Lord Chancellor, Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Mayor of London.[24]

    Duel in Battersea Fields, 21 March 1829

    Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and then prime minister, fought a duel against the Earl of Winchilsea in 1829 over the Duke's support for the rights of Irish Catholics and the independence of the newly established King's College London

    The simultaneous support of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (who was also Prime Minister of the United Kingdom then), for an Anglican King's College London and the Roman Catholic Relief Act, which was to lead to the granting of almost full civil rights to Catholics, was challenged by George Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea, in early 1829. Winchilsea and his supporters wished for King's to be subject to the Test Acts, like the universities of Oxford, where only members of the Church of England could matriculate, and Cambridge, where non-Anglicans could matriculate but not graduate,[25] but this was not Wellington's intent.[26]

    Winchilsea and about 150 other contributors withdrew their support of King's College London in response to Wellington's support of Catholic emancipation. In a letter to Wellington, he accused the Duke to have in mind "insidious designs for the infringement of our liberty and the introduction of Popery into every department of the State".[27] The letter provoked a furious exchange of correspondence and Wellington accused Winchilsea of imputing him with "disgraceful and criminal motives" in setting up King's College London. When Winchilsea refused to retract the remarks, Wellington – by his own admission, "no advocate of duelling" and a virgin duellist – demanded satisfaction in a contest of arms: "I now call upon your lordship to give me that satisfaction for your conduct which a gentleman has a right to require, and which a gentleman never refuses to give."[28]

    The result was a duel in Battersea Fields on 21 March 1829.[18][29] Winchilsea did not fire, a plan he and his second almost certainly decided upon before the duel; Wellington took aim and fired wide to the right. Accounts differ as to whether Wellington missed on purpose. Wellington, noted for his poor aim, claimed he did, other reports more sympathetic to Winchilsea claimed he had aimed to kill.[30] Honour was saved and Winchilsea wrote Wellington an apology.[27] "Duel Day" is still celebrated on the first Thursday after 21 March every year, marked by various events throughout King's, including reenactments.[29][31]

    19th century

    William Otter (1831–36), the first Principal of King's College London

    King's opened in October 1831 with the cleric William Otter appointed as first principal and lecturer in divinity.[17] The Archbishop of Canterbury presided over the opening ceremony, in which a sermon was given in the chapel by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London, on the subject of combining religious instruction with intellectual culture. Despite the attempts to make King's Anglican-only, the initial prospectus permitted, "nonconformists of all sorts to enter the college freely".[32] William Howley: the governors and the professors, except the linguists, had to be members of the Church of England but the students did not,[33] though attendance at chapel was compulsory.[34]

    King's was divided into a senior department and a junior department, also known as

    Associate of King's College (AKC), the first qualification issued by King's.[17]
    The course, which concerns questions of ethics and theology, is still awarded today to students and staff who take an optional three-year course alongside their studies.

    The Embankment terrace entrance to the Strand Campus overlooking the River Thames, originally designed by Sir William Chambers, was completed by Sir Robert Smirke in 1835

    The river frontage was completed in April 1835 at a cost of £7,100,[35] its completion a condition of King's College London securing the site from the Crown.[17] Unlike those in the school, student numbers in the Senior department remained almost stationary during King's first five years of existence. During this time the medical school was blighted by inefficiency and the divided loyalties of the staff leading to a steady decline in attendance. One of the most important appointments was that of Charles Wheatstone as professor of Experimental Philosophy.[17]

    At this time neither King's, "London University", nor the medical schools at the London hospitals could confer degrees. In 1835 the government announced that it would establish an examining board to grant degrees, with "London University" and King's both becoming affiliated colleges. This became the University of London in 1836, the former "London University" becoming University College, London (UCL).[21] The first University of London degrees were awarded to King's College London students in 1839.[36]

    In 1840, King's opened its own

    Joseph Lister as professor of clinical surgery greatly benefited the medical school, and the introduction of Lister's antiseptic surgical methods gained the hospital an international reputation.[17]

    In 1845 King's established a Military Department to train officers for the Army and the

    British East India Company, and in 1846 a Theological Department to train Anglican priests. In 1855, King's pioneered evening classes in London;[33] that King's granted students at the evening classes certificates of college attendance to enable them to sit University of London degree exams was cited as an example of the worthlessness of these certificates in the decision by the University of London to end the affiliated colleges system in 1858 and open their examinations to everyone.[37]

    In 1882 the King's College London Act amended the constitution. The act removed the proprietorial nature of King's, changing the name of the corporation from "The Governors and Proprietors of King's College, London" to "King's College London" and annulling the 1829 charter (although King's remained incorporated under that charter). The act also changed King's College London from a (technically) for-profit corporation to a non-profit one (no dividends had ever been paid in over 50 years of operation) and extended the objects of King's to include the education of women.[17][38] The Ladies' Department of King's College London was opened in Kensington Square in 1885, which later in 1902 became King's College Women's Department.[36]

    8 Edw. 7. c. xxxix), losing its legal independence.[39]

    During the First World War, the medical school was opened to women for the first time.[17] From 1916 to 1921, the college's Department of Italian was headed by a woman, Linetta de Castelvecchio.[40] The end of the war saw an influx of students, which strained existing facilities to the point where some classes were held in the Principal's house.[17]

    In World War II, the buildings of King's College London were used by the

    firewatchers. Parts of the Strand building, the quadrangle, and the roof of apse and stained glass windows of the chapel suffered bomb damage in the Blitz.[41][42] During the post-war reconstruction, the vaults beneath the quadrangle were replaced by a two-storey laboratory, which opened in 1952, for the departments of Physics and Civil and Electrical Engineering.[17]

    One of the most famous pieces of scientific research performed at King's were the crucial contributions to the discovery of the

    Alex Stokes, Herbert Wilson, and other colleagues at the Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics at King's.[43][44][45]

    Major reconstruction of King's began in 1966 following the publication of the Robbins Report on Higher Education. A new block facing the Strand designed by E. D. Jefferiss Mathews was opened in 1972.[33] In 1980 King's regained its legal independence under a new Royal Charter. In 1993 King's, along with other large University of London colleges, gained direct access to government funding (which had previously been through the university) and the right to confer University of London degrees itself. This contributed to King's and the other large colleges being regarded as de facto universities in their own right.[46]

    King's College London underwent several mergers with other institutions in the late 20th century. These including the reincorporation in 1983 of the King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry, which had become independent of King's College Hospital at the foundation of the National Health Service in 1948, mergers with

    Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery. The same year King's acquired the former Public Record Office building on Chancery Lane and converted it at a cost of £35 million into the Maughan Library, which opened in 2002.[33]

    21st century

    The Maughan Library. Following a £35m renovation, it is the largest new university library in the United Kingdom since World War II[49]

    In July 2006, King's College London was granted degree-awarding powers in its own right, as opposed to through the

    Privy Council.[50] This power remained unexercised until 2007, when King's announced that all students starting courses from September 2007 onwards would be awarded degrees conferred by King's itself, rather than by the University of London. The new certificates however still make reference to the fact that King's is a constituent college of the University of London.[51] All current students with at least one year of study remaining were in August 2007 offered the option of choosing to be awarded a University of London degree or a King's degree. The first King's degrees were awarded in summer 2008.[52]

    In April 2011 King's became a founding partner in the UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation, subsequently renamed the Francis Crick Institute, committing £40 million to the project.[53] The Chemistry department was reopened in 2011 following its closure in 2003.[54] In February 2012, Her Majesty The Queen officially opened Somerset House East Wing.

    Bush House, Strand Campus

    In September 2014 King's College London opened

    Ed Byrne replaced Rick Trainor as Principal of King's College London, the latter having served for 10 years. In December 2014, King's announced its plans to rebrand its name to 'King's London'.[56] It was emphasised that there were no plans to change the legal name of King's, and that the name 'King's London' was designed to promote King's and to highlight the fact that King's is a university in its own right.[57] King's announced that the rebranding plans had been dropped in January 2015.[58][59]

    In 2015, King's acquired a 50-year lease for the Aldwych Quarter site incorporating the historic Bush House. It began occupation of Bush House and Strand House on a phased basis, starting with the north west wing of Bush House in September 2016,[60] with King House and Melbourne House to be added from 2025.[61]

    The Franklin-Wilkins Building, Waterloo Campus

    The Waterloo Campus is located across Waterloo Bridge from the Strand Campus, near the Southbank Centre in the London Borough of Lambeth and consists of the James Clerk Maxwell Building, the Franklin–Wilkins Building and the Waterloo Bridge Wing Building.

    Cornwall House, now the Franklin-Wilkins Building, constructed between 1912 and 1915 was originally the His Majesty's Stationery Office (responsible for Crown copyright and National Archives), but was requisitioned for use as a military hospital in 1915 during World War I. It became the King George Military Hospital, and accommodated about 1,800 patients on 63 wards.[64]

    Now the largest university building in London, the building was acquired by King's in the 1980s and underwent extensive refurbishment in 2000.[65][66] The building is named after Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins for their major contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA.[65] Today it is home to:

    • the School of Biomedical Sciences, Diabetes & Nutritional Sciences Division (part of the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine)
    • the School of Education, Communication and Society (part of the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy)
    • LonDEC – the London Dental Education Centre (part of the Faculty of Dental, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences)

    The adjacent James Clerk Maxwell Building houses the

    mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who was the Professor of Natural Philosophy at King's from 1860 to 1865.[67]

    The nearest Underground station is Waterloo.

    Denmark Hill Campus

    King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill Campus
    The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at the Denmark Hill Campus enjoys a long history with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

    Denmark Hill Campus is situated in south London near the borders of the London Borough of Lambeth and the London Borough of Southwark in Camberwell and is the only campus not situated on the River Thames. The campus consists of King's College Hospital, the Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN). In addition to the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, parts of the Dental Institute and School of Medicine, and a large hall of residence, King's College Hall, are situated here. Other buildings include the campus library known as the Weston Education Centre (WEC), the James Black Centre, the Rayne Institute (haemato-oncology) and the Cicely Saunders Institute (palliative care).[70]

    The Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute was opened by

    the Princess Royal in 2015 at the Denmark Hill Campus.[71] It is named after British philanthropist Maurice Wohl, who had a long association with King's and supported many medical projects.[72]

    The nearest Overground station is Denmark Hill.

    Shrivenham

    Whilst not a formal campus, King's retains an academic presence and estate at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire. Through its Defence Studies Department, King's has delivered professional military training to much of the UK armed services through the Joint Services Command and Staff College since 2000 under contract to the Ministry of Defence.[73]

    Redevelopment programme

    As of 2016, King's is undergoing a £1 billion redevelopment programme of its estates.

    College Chapel at the Strand was also restored in 2001, and its organ in 2018.[citation needed
    ]

    The Strand Campus redevelopment won the Green Gown Award in 2007 for sustainable construction. The award recognised the "reduced energy and carbon emissions from a sustainable refurbishment of the historic South Range of the King's Building".[77] King's was also the recipient of the 2003 City Heritage Award for the conversion of the Grade II* listed Maughan Library.[78]

    Current projects include a £45 million development for the Maurice Wohl Clinical Neuroscience Institute, £18 million on modernising King's learning and teaching environments, a sports pavilion at Honor Oak Park.[79] In April 2012 a £20 million redevelopment of the Strand Campus Quad was announced and will provide an additional 3,700 square metres of teaching space and student facilities.[80]

    King's acquired a lease for the Aldwych Quarter with initial term of 50 years.[62][81] King's will occupy Bush House and Strand House from September 2016, and King House and Melbourne House from 2025.[81] The then-Chairman of King's College London, Charles Wellesley, 9th Duke of Wellington said that the King's Strand Campus has had inadequate and cramped teaching space for too long, and the acquisition will transform the original campus of King's which dates back to 1829.[62]

    Principal from 1883 to 1897, Henry Wace

    The head of King's College London is formally the President and Principal, currently Shitij Kapur, who began his term in June 2021, following the retirement of Sir Ed Byrne in January 2021.

    The office of "Principal and President of the College" is established by King's royal charter as "the chief academic and executive officer of the College"[82] and the college statutes require the president and principal to have the general responsibility to the college council for "ensuring that the objects of the University are fulfilled and for maintaining and promoting the efficiency, discipline and good order of the University".[83] The current president and principal, Shitji Kapoor, uses the title "Vice-Chancellor and President".[84] The current senior officers of the college include three senior vice presidents, covering the areas of: academic; health and life science; and operations. There are also five vice presidents covering the areas of: finance (also the college's chief financial officer); education and student success; international, engagement and service; research and innovation; and people and talent.[85]

    The college council is the supreme governing body of King's College London established under the charter and statutes, comprising 21 members. Its membership includes the President of

    Christopher Geidt, formerly Private Secretary to HM Queen Elizabeth II (the patron of King's College London at the time he took up the role of chairman) succeeded Charles Wellesley, 9th Duke of Wellington
    as Chairman of Council from the beginning of the 2016 academic year;[88][89] he subsequently became Lord Geidt on 3 November 2017.[90]

    The current

    priesthood.[94]

    The Archbishop of Canterbury is King's College London's visitor by right of office owing to the Anglican foundation of King's.[95] The current visitor is The Most Reverend Justin Welby.

    Faculties and departments

    In the 19th century, King's College London had five departments: Theological, General Literature and Science, Applied Sciences, Medical and Military.

    ecclesiastical history, pastoral theology and Exegesis of testaments.[97] Languages and literature, history, law and jurisprudence, political economy, commerce, fencing, mathematics, zoology and natural history were taught within the Department of General Literature and Science,[97] and natural philosophy, geology, mineralogy and arts-related subjects were taught within the Department of Applied Sciences.[97]

    As of 2017[update], King's comprises nine academic faculties, which are subdivided into schools (for Social Science & Public Policy, Life Sciences & Medicine), departments, centres and research divisions. The latest addition was King's Business School, hosted in Bush House, which opened in August 2017.[98]

    Faculty of Arts and Humanities

    The Faculty of Arts and Humanities was formed in 1989 following the amalgamation of the faculties of Arts, Music and Theology.[101] King's Arts & Humanities is distinctive in representing exceptional strength in both the longer established disciplines (such as Philosophy, Classics, Theology, English, History, Languages, and Music) and world-leading quality in more recently established fields (such as Digital Humanities, Film, Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts, and Culture, Media and Creative Industries).[102]

    In 2023, the Faculty launched two new Institutes[103] - the Digital Futures Institute and the Global Cultures Institute - to bring together existing projects as well as promote new and original education and research, focusing on wellbeing and societal impact.

    Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences

    The Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences (formerly Dental Institute) is the dental school of King's and focuses on understanding disease, enhancing health and restoring function.[104] The institute is the successor of Guy's Hospital Dental School, King's College Hospital Dental School, Royal Dental Hospital of London School of Dental Surgery, and the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. It was a part of King's School of Medicine and Dentistry until 2005, when the dental school became the Dental Institute and then renamed in 2019.

    In 1799 Joseph Fox started to give a series of lectures on dental surgery at Guy's Hospital, and was appointed dental surgeon in the same year.

    Department of Health of the UK suggested that there should be a decrease in the number of dental undergraduate students as well as the duration of all courses.[105] In response to the recommendations, Royal Dental Hospital of London School of Dental Surgery amalgamated with the Guy's Hospital Dental School of the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals on 1 August 1983.[105]

    The establishment of King's College Hospital Dental School was proposed by Viscount Hambleden at a Hospital Management Committee meeting on 12 April 1923. The dental school was opened on 12 November 1923 in King's College Hospital.[48] Under the 1948 National Health Act, King's Medical and Dental School split from King's and became an independent school, but the school remerged with King's in 1983.[48] The school further merged with the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in 1998.[48]

    Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine

    The Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine is located at four campuses including the Guy's Campus

    The Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine was created as a result of the merger of the School of Medicine with the School of Biomedical Sciences in 2014.[107]

    There are two schools of education in the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine: the

    MBBS programme, and the School of Bioscience Education is responsible for the biomedical and health professions education and training.[108] The faculty is further divided into 7 schools, including Basic & Medical Biosciences, Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, Cancer & Pharmaceutical Science, Cardiovascular Medicine & Sciences, Immunology & Microbial Sciences, Life Course Sciences and Population Health Sciences.[109]

    Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience

    The

    mental illness and diseases of the brain, and to help identify new treatments of the diseases.[110] The institute is the largest centre for research and postgraduate education in psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience in Europe.[111] Originally established in 1924 as the Maudsley Hospital Medical School, the institute changed its name to the Institute of Psychiatry in 1948, merged with King's College London in 1997, and was renamed IoPPN in 2014.[112][113]

    Dickson Poon School of Law

    Main article: The Dickson Poon School of Law

    The

    Dickson Poon School of Law is the law school of King's. Law has been taught at King's since 1831.[114] The Faculty of Laws was founded in 1909 and became the School of Law in 1991.[114]

    The school includes various research centres and groups which serve as focal points for research activity, including the Centre of European Law (established in 1974), Centre of Medical Law and Ethics (established in 1978), Centre of British Constitutional Law and History (established in 1988), Centre of Construction Law, Centre for Technology, Ethics and Law in Society, Centre for Politics, Philosophy and Law, Transnational Law Institute and Trust Law Committee.[115]

    Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences

    The Faculty of Natural and Mathematical Sciences was established in 2010, following the reorganisation of the School of Physical Sciences and Engineering. It was renamed in February 2021 to incorporate the return of engineering as a major discipline. The faculty provides education and research in chemistry, informatics, physics, mathematics, engineering and telecommunications. Physics and Mathematics has been studied at the university since 1829 and 1830 respectively, and there are six Nobel laureates who were either students or academic staff of the faculty.

    Sir Edward Appleton and Sir Charles Ellis, three of whom became Nobel laureates.[117]

    Chemistry has been taught at King's since its foundation in 1829, and Copley medallist John Frederic Daniell was appointed the first professor.[118] The Department of Chemistry was forced to close in 2003 due to a decline in student numbers and reduced funding.[118] In 2012, a new Department of Chemistry was established and a new undergraduate degree, Chemistry with Biomedicine, was launched.[118] The new department covers traditional areas of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and computational chemistry) and other academic discipline including cell biology and physics.[118]

    The Department of Engineering was established in 1838, making it arguably the oldest

    school of engineering in the United Kingdom.[119] Equally, the King's College Engineering Society is the oldest society of its kind, having been founded 1847, six days before the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The Department of Engineering was the largest engineering school in the UK in 1893.[119][120] The Division of Engineering was closed in 2013, and reinstalled in 2019.[119][121]

    Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery

    Florence Nightingale and her class of nurses

    The Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery is a school for nurses and midwives. It also carries out nursing research and provides continuing professional development and postgraduate programmes. Formerly known as the Nightingale Training School and Home for Nurses, the faculty was established by Florence Nightingale in 1860, and is the first nursing school in the world to be continuously connected to a fully serving hospital and medical school.[122][123]

    The Nightingale Training School was amalgamated in 1996 with the Olive Haydon School of Midwifery and the Thomas Guy and Lewisham School of Nursing, and all staff and students were integrated at King's by 1996.[123][124]

    Main article: Coat of arms of King's College London

    The

    royal coat of arms together with an inescutcheon of the House of Hanover, while the supporters embody King's motto of sancte et sapienter. No correspondence is believed to have survived regarding the choice of this coat of arms, either in King's archives or at the College of Arms, and a variety of unofficial adaptations have been used throughout the history of King's. The current coat of arms was developed following the mergers with Queen Elizabeth College and Chelsea College in 1985 and incorporates aspects of their heraldry.[6] The official coat of arms, in heraldic terminology, is:[140]

    Arms:

    Or on a Pale Azure between two Lions rampant respectant Gules an Anchor Gold ensigned by a Royal Crown proper on a Chief Argent an Ancient Lamp proper inflamed Gold between two Blazing Hearths also proper.

    The crest and supporters:

    Coat of arms of the medical schools

    Although the St Thomas's Hospital Medical School and Guy's Medical School became legal bodies separate from St Thomas' Hospital and Guy's Hospital in 1948, the tradition of using the hospitals' shields and coat of arms continues today.[141]

    In 1949, St Thomas's Hospital Medical School was granted its own coat of arms. However, the St Thomas' Hospital coat of arms has still been used.[141] Guy's Medical School proposed to apply for its own coat of arms after separating from Guy's Hospital, yet the school decided to continue to use Guy's Hospital's arms in 1954.[141] The two medical schools merged in 1982 and became the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals (UMDS). Simon Argles, secretary of UMDS, said that because of the name of the medical school it was more appropriate to use the hospital's coat of arms.[141]

    UMDS merged with King's College Hospital to become Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine in 1998. The shields of Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals are used in conjunction with King's shield in the medical schools' publications and graduation materials.[141]

    Sir Joseph Lister's antiseptic spray.[221] The Museum of Life Sciences was founded in 2009 adjacent to the Gordon Museum, and it houses historic biological and pharmaceutical collections from the constituent colleges of the modern King's College London.[222]

    Between 1843 and 1927, the

    Sir Charles Wheatstone and Charles Babbage). Due to space constraints within King's, much of the museum's collections were transferred on loan to the Science Museum in London or kept in King's College London Archives.[223]

    The Anatomy Museum was a museum situated on the 6th floor of the King's Building at the Strand Campus. The Anatomy Theatre was built next door to the museum in 1927,[224] where anatomical dissections and demonstrations took place. The Anatomy Museum's collection includes casts of injuries, leather models, skins of various animals from Western Australia donated to the museum in 1846,[225] and casts of heads of John Bishop and Thomas Williams, the murderers in the Italian Boy's murder in 1831.[226] The last dissection in the Anatomy Theatre was performed in 1997.[224] The Anatomy Theatre and Museum was renovated and refurbished in 2009, and is now a facility for teaching, research and performance at King's.[227]

    The Foyle Special Collections Library also houses a number of special collections, range in date from the 15th century to present, and in subject from human anatomy to Modern Greek poetry.

    pamphlets, manuscript, and photographic material.[229] The Medical Collection include the historical library collections of the constituent medical schools and institutes of King's.

    As of 2021, King's is ranked in the top seven UK universities in all the six major academic rankings of global universities: QS, Times Higher Education, University Ranking by Academic Performance, U.S. News & World Report (Best Global Universities Rankings) and Center for World University Rankings.[244][245][246]

    According to the 2021

    Quality Assurance Agency.[249]

    King's was ranked joint 14th overall in The Sunday Times 10-year (1998–2007) average ranking of British universities based on consistent league table performance.[250] In recent years, however, the university has performed less well in domestic league tables, being placed outside of the top 20 in all three major tables for 2016. The methodologies of these tables include student satisfaction scores with teaching and feedback as a significant input.[251][252] In common with most other London institutions, King's performs less well on the National Student Survey (NSS), ranking 133rd for student satisfaction (out of 160 institutes) in the 2015 survey.[253]

    According to the 2015 Times and Sunday Times University Guide, their inclusion of student satisfaction scores, along with international guides including reputation scores from academics and employers, explains the disparity between King's ranking on their (domestic) table and global tables. They add that when the university is ranked according to student satisfaction scores from undergraduates on factors such as academic support, teaching, assessment and feedback, "King's ranks 106 out of 123 institutions", although "despite the iffy student satisfaction scores, students continue to apply here in their droves" with an average of 8.1 applicants per place available for 2014 entry.

    Complete University Guide has used the results of the NSS since at least 2011,[255] King's retained a position in their top 20 until the 2015 tables (published 2014),[256] managing 19th on the 2014 tables despite ranking joint 102nd (out of 124) for student satisfaction.[257]

    In a survey by The New York Times assessing the most valued graduates by business leaders, King's College London graduates ranked 22nd in the world and 5th in the UK.[258] In the 2015 Global Employability University Survey of international recruiters, King's is ranked 43rd in the world and 7th in the UK.[259] King's was chosen as the 5th best UK university by major British employers in 2015.[260]

    In 2014, King's ranked 5th amongst multidisciplinary UK universities for highest graduate starting salaries (i.e. graduates' average annual salary six months after graduation).[261] In a big data research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, University of Cambridge and Harvard University, it was revealed the top 10% of King's male graduates working in England were the 7th highest earning students 10 years after graduation in comparison to graduates of all Higher Education providers (both multi and uni-disciplinary universities) in the UK and the top 10% of its female graduates were the 9th highest earning students 10 years after graduation in the same study.[262] The Guardian University Guide 2017 named King's as the 6th best university in the country for graduate career prospects, with 84.3% of students finding graduate-level jobs within six months of graduation.[263]

    In September 2010, the

    Sunday Times selected King's as the "University of the Year 2010–11".[264] King's was ranked as the 5th best university in the UK for the quality of graduates according to recruiters from the UK's major companies.[265]

    Associateship of King's College

    The Associateship of King's College (AKC) is the original award of King's College, dating back to its foundation in 1829 and first awarded in 1835. It was designed to reflect the twin objectives of King's College's 1829 royal charter to maintain the connection between "sound religion and useful learning" and to teach the "doctrines and duties of Christianity".[266]

    Today, the AKC is a modern tradition that offers an inclusive, research-led programme of lectures that gives students the opportunities to engage with religious, philosophical and ethical issues alongside their main degree course. Graduates of King's College London may be eligible to be elected as 'Associates' of King's College by the authority of King's College London council, delegated to the academic board. After election, they are entitled to use the post-nominal letters "AKC".[267]

    Fellowship of King's College

    See also: Category:Fellows of King's College London

    The Fellowship of King's College (FKC) is the highest award that can be bestowed upon an individual by King's College London. The award of the fellowship is governed by a statute of King's College London and reflects distinguished service to King's by a member of staff, conspicuous service to King's, or the achievement of distinction by those who were at one time closely associated with King's College London.[268]

    The proposal to establish a fellowship of King's was first considered in 1847.

    chaplain of King's, was the first FKC. Each fellow had to pay two guineas for the fellowship privilege initially, but the fee was ceased from 1850.[269] A wide variety of people were elected as fellows of King's, including former principal Alfred Barry, former King's student then professor Thorold Rogers, architect William Burges and ornithologist Robert Swinhoe.[269] The first women fellows were elected in 1904.[269] Lilian Faithfull, vice-principal of the King's Ladies' Department from 1894 to 1906, was one of the first women fellows.[269]

    Founded in 1873,

    University College London Union being founded in 1893)[271] and has a claim to being the oldest Students' Union in England.[272][273] Athletic Club was one of the nineteenth-century student societies at King's formed in 1884.[274] The union provides a wide range of activities and services, including over 50 sports clubs (which includes the boat club which rows on the River Thames and the rifle club which uses the college's shooting range located at the disused Aldwych tube station beneath the Strand Campus),[275] over 200 activity groups,[276] a wide range of volunteering opportunities, bars/eateries (The Shack, The Shed, The Vault and Guy's Bar), a shop (King's Shop) and a gym (Kinetic Fitness Club). Between 1992 and 2013 the union operated a nightclub, Tutu's, named after alumnus Desmond Tutu.[277]

    The former President of KCLSU, Sir Ivison Macadam, after whom the former students' union building on the Strand Campus (Macadam Building) is named, went on to be elected as the first president of the National Union of Students.[278]

    "Reggie the Lion" (informally "Reggie") is the official mascot of the students' union. In total there are four Reggies in existence. The original can be found on display in the undercroft of the Union's Bush House base at the Strand Campus. A papier-mâché Reggie lives outside the Great Hall at the Strand Campus. The third Reggie, given as a gift by alumnus Willie Kwan, guards the entrance of Willies Common Room in Somerset House East Wing.[279] A small sterling silver incarnation is displayed during graduation ceremonies, which was presented to King's by former Halliburton Professor of Physiology, Robert John Stewart McDowall, in 1959.[280]

    KCLSU owns and operates several student run social spaces, including the cafe/coffee shop The Shed, and the bars Guy's Bar (both on Guy's Campus), The Vault and

    Philosophy Bar
    (both on Strand campus).

    Student media

    King's traditional rivalry with UCL is nowadays most noted at the yearly varsity rugby match

    Competition within the

    freshers' processions by King's students around Aldwych in which new students were typically flour bombed.[307]

    King's College London RFC and University College London RFC.[306][308]

    Rivalry with the London School of Economics

    On 2 December 2005, tensions between King's and the London School of Economics (LSE) were ignited when at least 200 students from LSE (located in Aldwych near the Strand Campus) diverted off from the annual "barrel run" and caused an estimated £32,000 of damage to the English department at King's.[309][310] The Times reported that LSE director Howard Davies attended the fun run event,[311][312] while LSE claimed that Davies only attended for a short time.[313] King's principal, Sir Rick Trainor, deplored the behaviour, appealed to King's students to remain calm and called for no retaliation.[314][315] The LSE Students' Union later on 6 December issued a formal apology, condemned the actions, as well as promising to foot the bill for the damage repair.[313][315]
