King's College

From day one, everyone I’ve met at King’s has been so nice and friendly! There’s a great sense of community within the College and you can always find your own crowd and friends, as people here really welcome diversity and accept you for who you are.

King’s has a long history of intellectual, artistic, and social innovation. We were among the first of the historically male Colleges to admit women.

King’s is a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community which actively encourages applications from all schools and colleges, both in
the UK and overseas.

Location and student life

King’s is located in the centre of Cambridge, making it easy to get to University faculties and departments, other Colleges, and the city itself. Our large site includes beautiful grounds, a variety of accommodation, and access to the River Cam.

We take intellectual life seriously, and we do all we can to support students in their academic work. The College has a high ratio of teaching academics to undergraduates, and students are well supported by their peers, academics, and health and wellbeing staff. The College also has an excellent library filled with resources and welcoming work spaces.

Our students are valued and engaged members of the College community. They are represented on College committees, run their own student unions to represent each other, and take part in countless College and University societies. They also run events throughout the year, including themed formal dinners, a termly mingle event, and King’s Affair, an amazing end-of-year celebration. Our students make King’s a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming place to study and live.

At King’s, it’s your academic potential that matters most and all students, regardless of background, can prosper here.
