Life on Campus
Situated on the doorstep of the capital, Kingston University comprises an inclusive community made up of industry specialists and passionate students from across the world. The university’s four campuses can be found in around the town centre of Kingston upon Thames, and there’s a free bus that connects them all. London may be a short train away, but life on campus can certainly keep you occupied.
Hannafords Bar at the Kingston Campus is a great example. Once a World War II military cinema, this renovated student hotspot has plasma screens playing live sport, pool tables and even a Wii console for when you need a break from studying. Hannafords also hosts a range of events, including club nights, karaoke nights and comedy events.

If sport isn’t for you, there are over 90 societies just waiting for your sign up. This is an opportunity to meet likeminded people who share your interests and gain new skills – be it tabletop gaming or photography. Giving back to the community is always satisfying, and Kingston University has plenty of opportunities for volunteering in the local area and abroad.
