King’s College London is one of the top 20 universities in the world and one of England’s oldest. Located in the heart of London, it has an outstanding reputation for world-class research and teaching and is rated one of the world’s 20 most international and outward-looking universities (Times Higher 2016). It was sixth nationally in the ‘power’ ranking of the 2014 UK Research Excellence Framework (REF), and is among the top seven UK universities for research earnings (£193 million in 2014–15), with an overall annual income of more than £684 million.

King’s has more than 27,600 students (of whom nearly 10,500 are graduate students) from some 150 countries, and some 6,800 staff

2

Founded in 1829, King’s is recognised today as a world-leading university, dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, learning and understanding in the service of society. It is the hub of a global network of strong academic connections and collaboration,

with prestigious international partnerships within and across disciplines – scientific and medical, social and creative.

King’s was established by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829 and has grown substantially in the last three decades through mergers with other distinguished higher education institutions including the Institute of Psychiatry (in 1997) and the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals (in 1998). King’s has a particularly high reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and in social sciences including international affairs. It is one of the most successful higher education institutions in attracting funding from the National Institute for Health Research, with four Medical Research Council Centres.

King’s became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London in 1836. It has enjoyed financial and academic autonomy since 1994, and since 2008 has awarded its own degrees.

KING’S IN BRIEF

3

54

Over the past 10 years King’s has become one of the world’s leading universities for both education and research. Looking ahead at a world that depends on being better connected, King’s already has the advantage of academic disciplines that connect across different cultures,

subjects, institutions and geographies, and a location at the centre of London, a truly international city which gives us close connections to knowledge and influence that enrich university life in practical and inspiring ways.

King’s Futures is helping us to build on these strengths and continue to grow in scale and scope while maintaining the highest quality of education and research. We are growing our Business School with a distinctive vision: capitalising on greater links both with other faculties of King’s and with the business world. We are deepening our teaching and research expertise in cutting-edge science and technology for the 21st century. King’s Online is bringing a King’s education to greater numbers of the best students worldwide through distance education. We are refining our focus on research and innovation across all our disciplines and reaching further across the globe to attract the best academics, students and educational partners.

This focus on King’s Futures strategic initiatives, combined with our underlying institutional goals, provides the backbone for a new strategic vision that will take the university through to 2029: the bicentenary of King’s foundation. Throughout 2016 we are refining and developing this vision: defining King’s role in helping to understand and overcome some of the world’s great challenges.

KING’S FUTURES & OUR VISION TO 2029

76

Opening from late 2016, the iconic Bush House buildings (formerly the home of the BBC World Service) will provide modern and purpose-designed environments for our growing community of students and staff, reflecting King’s standing as a world-class university. Combined with planned developments

across the Strand Campus, this will lead to a unified and dynamic academic environment in the heart of London.

With state-of-the-art formal and informal spaces where collaboration, learning and research are supported by inspiring surroundings, we aim to foster communities and draw in the outside world. The new environment will stimulate academic endeavour, encourage collaboration and engage the public with the work of the university. It will provide King’s with the kind of quality facilities that it will need for generations to come.
