Voice of the student3

‘My study abroad experience at King’s College London has been nothing short of amazing. The teaching staff is exceptional – the lecturers are full of knowledge and care passionately about their subject area. Some courses I took at KCL fulfilled requirements for my major in my home university, while others I took solely because they captured my interest. KCL allowed me to easily explore disciplines outside my major, such as English and Film Studies. I truly recommend this programme to anyone who is interested in studying abroad.’

Feichi Boston College

OPTIONS INCLUDE:

Global Health and Social MedicineIdeal for students with an interest in exploring health and medicine from a social science perspective. The programme explores the complex social determinants of health, illness and ageing, and the way in which advances in biomedicine and biotechnology are changing expectations about life and health and the nature of medical practice.

Students will take two required core modules at Level 4 (designed for those with a very limited background in the subject matter) and choose two additional modules in any field of their choice.

Health and Society (pre-medicine)This programme is catered specifically to undergraduate study abroad students with a strong interest in learning about the practice of medicine. The curriculum consists of interactive lectures, seminars and clinical shadowing placements within various specialties.

All applicants must be a pre-medicine major at their home institution and adhere to an earlier application deadline.

Postgraduate Study AbroadStudents currently enrolled in a Masters or PhD programme can incorporate King’s into their postgrad experience. Masters students take three courses per semester, and PhD students receive 1-2-1 supervision and access to King’s facilities and resources to conduct research.
