“This is a great pathway

course. The teachers will

teach you what you need in

college life to help you go to

your dream college.”

Jiahui Quan from China

“Dewey is a very talented artist. He worked

very hard on his portfolio for art school

applications, and has some really amazing

work. After he attended a Prospective Student

Day at MassArt he fell in love with it. When he

came to show me his acceptance letter last

week, he just couldn’t stop smiling.”

Becky Bierman, University Counsellor, Boston

“I chose Kings’ pathway course so I could go to a university in the US. To study at

Kings gives me time to get used to American culture and prepare for my academic

skills prior enter to a university in US. Because there are thousands of universities

in the States, I got really confused about which university should I apply to — Kings

have really helped me with choosing and applying for the schools. Because of my

course at Kings, I have had more time to prepare and get used to American culture.

Also, I have more chance to practice my speaking, which I think is the most essential

thing to succeed at university.”

“I believe that the program here is very

important for constructing your academic

and professional career. It helps a lot

because you learn how to write essays, how

to recognize lecture language, how to

interpret text using reading skills and how

to improve your spoken English — because

you are always working on your speaking

skills. In addition, the process of transferring

to a college is very easy because you have

good advisors here who are there to help

you through the process so it makes your life

so much easier.”

“I’d like to say a big thank you to every

single teacher at Kings. They took care of

us like parents take care of their children.

It was incredible work, they helped us with

every aspect, and even helped us to shape

our personality, which was really great for

a person who is changing from a teenager

to an adult. As for the academic input, it

was enormous and amazing.”

Fisnik Fshazi from Albania Now studying Civil Engineering at the University of Bath

The Kings Advantage

Guidance to make the right university choice

Choosing the right university is one of the most

important decisions in life. Our students only make

this choice once they are in the UK. We provide the

time, services and personal guidance which allow

them to choose exactly the right university from

every institution in the UK.

Expert academic teachingKings academic staff have unrivalled expertise in

teaching international students. This means our

students gain a deep understanding of their subjects.

Teachers are specialists in their academic subject.

Very small classesKings classes are some of the smallest of any

international college. It’s one of the main reasons

why our students learn more and learn faster.

Class size range for A-level: 4 – 8

Class size range for GCSE, Foundation and English

for Academic Study: 8 – 10

Individual student supportWe carefully manage our students’ transition to UK

life and the UK education system through constant

progress monitoring and a complete network of

professional support.

Accommodation guaranteeWe guarantee all students following a course lasting

24 weeks or more will be offered accommodation

within reasonable walking distance of the College

for the duration of their course.

“If someone had told me four years ago that I’d study

at one of the best universities in the world, it would have

been hard to believe! But every day you make a little

more progress and over two years you improve step by

step. Every day you make little changes to become a

different self.”

Shuyu Lin from China Now studying Engineering, Economics and Management at the University of Oxford

“In order to get into universities in the UK you have to

apply through a system called UCAS and you have to

include your academic results as well as your personal

statement — a statement which has your information,

whereby you have to convince the admissions team

why they should take you. Thanks to my teacher’s

help, I think mine was perfect.”

Chun Yu Chan (Jeremy) from China Now studying Medicine at Queens University, Belfast

“On my Foundation Course, we also did work and assignments,

which has really helped me here at university as 30% of

coursework is assignments. Also they helped us with

presentations, which we have a lot of on my course. In all my

presentations I’ve got above 85%, I think because Kings helped

prepare me so much!”
