Our main campus is minutes from the town centre but surrounded by trees and gardens; our spacious town centre annexe offers a newly refurbished contemporary learning environment. Bournemouth is a clean and green south coast haven which offers an abundance of opportunity.

As well as succeeding academically we want you to experience culture in its broadest sense, encompassing sport, music, art, adventure and discovery.

A trip to remember…

Every year staff at Kings arrange a three-day outward bound excursion for GCSE students.

The trip provides a great opportunity for younger students across all three of our colleges to build long-lasting bonds with their new classmates. It also gives them the opportunity to learn new skills, challenge themselves outside the classroom, and become more confident.

Fun activities include archery, climbing, orienteering and sand sledging.

Other events

Beach sports and activities Bournemouth’s beach is one of the best in the UK, and provides the perfect environment for a host of year-round activities.

Helio Filho, who took part in a recent football tournament, said “Bournemouth is such a good place to make friends and play football on the beach. This day was amazing and I hope to play even more with my friends from Kings”.

Students at Kings come from all over the world, and part of their experience involves learning about cultural celebrations and events in the UK.

One such celebration is Halloween. Kings Bournemouth students had first-hand experience of this last October with an all-day fancy dress fiesta followed by an evening party.

A Kings Extravaganza

Every year, teachers, students, and host families get together for a Christmas ‘Extravaganza’ at Kings Bournemouth.

The evening’s festivities include the Christmas play, which, most recently, was a production of 'Much Ado About Nothing'. The play was prepared by students taking part in the Trinity Arts Award, and the evening's catering and hospitality was managed by students on the Tourism and Hospitality programmes.

Kings London is a warm, welcoming community in which we strive, with first-rate teaching, for the highest standards of learning while ensuring that our students are safe, happy and fulfilled. Our small classes and supportive welfare system give students the best possible opportunities for success and university progression.

Our location in leafy Beckenham is perfect as there are excellent facilities close to the College, but the cultural benefits of London — the galleries, museums, the law courts, and the financial centres — are just a short train ride away.

Choosing a club at Kings LondonDuring induction week, students at Kings London visit the Clubs and Societies Fair to find out about extracurricular activities available at the College.

They can sign up for a whole range of clubs including Photography Club, World Affairs Society, Debating Society, Textiles Society, and Drama Club.

Director of Studies, Mark Poolton said “Extra-curricular activities are a great way to make your university application really stand out to admissions tutors. They help you to relax outside your studies and make new friends".

As an international college, we like to embrace the cultural celebrations of all our students. In 2014 we helped our Chinese students mark the Lunar New Year by decorating the canteen and reception area with red and gold lanterns, and serving traditional Chinese food.

Foundation student Lester Hu (pictured) was managing the calligraphy table and said: “It’s great to be able to show my non-Chinese friends how to do Chinese calligraphy. As an artist, it’s an aspect of my culture that is visual so I think it is very interesting”.From cafeteria

to catwalkAt Kings we have some extremely talented students who are encouraged to showcase their skills at special events. Recently, the Kings London fashion show saw the cafeteria transformed into a catwalk for the night. Everyone was involved, with students taking on the roles of designer, model, photographer, make up artist, and DJ.

Staff vs. Students!

We raise money for charitable causes through events and activities across all Kings locations. In 2014 a charity football match was organised to raise money for the people affected by floods in Serbia, with staff and students both taking part.

Several times each year Kings Oxford holds a photography competition.

It’s a great way to encourage students to explore the wonderful city they live in, and to show off their creative skills. One of the highlights of 2014 was the ‘Oxford Doors and Archways’ competition, which drew in a huge range of entries.

A touch of ShakespeareArts and drama is popular at all three colleges, and for three nights in March 2014 Kings Oxford students from both St. Josephs and St. Michaels put on a fantastic production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Extended A-levelThe Extended A-level is designed for

preparation for the main A-level syllabus.

Advanced Level FoundationThis intensive one-year foundation course is

for students who are seeking places at

leading UK universities. It is based on the

A-level syllabus and recognised by a wide

variety of UK Higher Education institutions.

Extended FoundationThe Extended Foundation includes an

academic year which introduces academic

studying the Advanced Level Foundation

approach to learning.

GCSEThis course is for students aged 14 or 15 who

want a pathway to a British university and

have not yet finished High School education

in their home country. We will determine the

right path for every student — from a

three-term accelerated course to a two-year

programme.

International High School Programme

English and academic subjects within

an international high school. Students follow

a British curriculum within a small class

environment, and have the opportunity to

sit formal British exams.

Level 4 Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality

fast-track entry to Year 2 of a degree course

in Tourism and Hospitality Management, or

to begin a career at junior management

level.

partnership with the University of Aberdeen

and provides a dedicated pathway to second

year entry on a range of undergraduate

degrees, including Chemical Engineering,

Civil Engineering, Geoscience, Business and

Petroleum Engineering.

A-levelThis course is for the most able students

who are seeking places on competitive

degree courses at the most elite universities

in the UK or internationally.

Art and Design Preparation Programme

This course is perfect for students who need

to develop their portfolio and/or their

language level prior to a main art-related

course. As such is it highly flexible and

adaptable to their specific needs, and has

been carefully designed to integrate with

several art-related programmes

at Kings.

Art FoundationThis course is for students wanting the

fastest, most direct path to an art

and design-related degree course at a UK

university.

International Business Foundation

This course is for students who want either a

recognised, stand-alone business

qualification, or are intending to use it to
