Why study at Kingston University?

These are five reasons we think make Kingston University London the best choice for international students but you will find many more yourself once you are here.

Kingston University is located near the River Thames

1 London location

Vibrant Kingston upon Thames is just 25 minutes from central London by train. Although close to London, this riverside town is a safe and attractive location for students. Kingston has something for everyone with lots of social and cultural events and is within easy reach of London's famous Oxford and Regent Street and a host of other attractions - you will never be short of things to do!
