Educational Quality Recognition
Kingston University holds TEF Gold status across three categories—overall rating, student experience, and graduate outcomes—which reflects its comprehensive approach to education rather than excellence in isolated areas. While the institution ranks within the global top-600 by QS and its psychology program places in the top-400 according to THE Psychology Rankings 2025, what distinguishes it is the Future Skills framework embedded throughout the curriculum, developing problem-solving abilities and digital literacy that employers prioritize.
Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The Business School belongs to the elite group holding triple international accreditation—AACSB, EPAS, and AMBA—a distinction shared by less than 1% of business schools worldwide. Beyond this, over ten leading professional bodies, including ACCA in finance, CIPD in human resources, and RICS in real estate, either accredit programs or grant their graduates exemptions from professional examinations, creating direct pathways into careers.
Practical Training at Kingston University
What the institution calls innovative learning translates into working with professional equipment and software while still studying. Each of its four campuses features modern studios and laboratories where students gain industry-adjacent experience, as courses are developed alongside professional organizations to ensure market relevance. This career-focused approach means graduates enter the workforce with project portfolios and practical skills that make them competitive immediately.
Location Advantages and International Experience
Situated half an hour from central London, Kingston University offers access to the capital’s opportunities—from cultural events to internships—without the necessity of living in one of the world’s most expensive cities. For those seeking broader horizons, exchange and internship programs span nearly every continent, from Australia to Latin America, with the institution supporting these initiatives through grants and reduced fees while providing stipends beyond salary for students choosing overseas placements.
