Dear King's College London Admission Team I am writing to formally raise my concern regarding the refund of my application fee. Several months ago, I received an email from the university informing me that changes had been made to the programme’s courses. The message also clarified that, with these changes, the degree would no longer qualify me to work as a therapist. On that basis, I decided to...

KCL really needs to sort out their replies to emails/phone calls. For the past few months, I've been emailing the admissions or calling to just understand the requirements of a course, and I've not been given a reply. It's really frustrating and puts me off from replying as it makes me wonder if their communication is poor with actual students who attend the university.

Although happy to be enrolled. I am not capable enough, but this is the rule! We cannot set this precedent for any student! So I will have to study the subjects that I am not able to learn at all, an endless and hopeless cycle. Also, for some lecturer, 3=5or6, 2 missing(unexplained)should be reported, but it seems he does not know that.

Bro I applied to this uni and other higher ranked universities. I got offers and responses from them and kings didn’t. They literally ghosted my application didn’t even give me an offer or a rejection. Insane!!! I contacted them multiple times and emailed them and they still haven’t responded.

Avoid and save your money. Terrible college when it comes to communication. There's no one to talk to. No phone replies. No one emails back. It's like dealing with a dead wall. Imagine joining a university that has zero communication for student queries. Woukd you give money to such a university? Join a university that cares, responds to queries, and has open communication. Won't recommend.
Visit in spring for riverside blooms and quieter weekdays. Friday Late events run year-round—check dates online.
