So at Kingston Business School, we offer a wide range of courses from business management,
business studies and also some specialist courses in business such an IT, human resources
and marketing.
Any student coming to Kingston Business School can expect a high level of teaching. We have
experience from industry, we have experience in research and above all we are excellent
teachers. Our students come first.
Kingston University as a whole, especially the Business School, is quite an international
place in itself. We have got loads of nationalities. So in a way you kind of feel like you are
going to find people from where you are from.
Why I have decided to come to Kingston Business School -- they just renewed the Business School
when I was going to enter the University. They just built a whole new bit to the School.
It was eco-friendly as well, so that was just a plus. So all of the infrastructure and the
IT rooms and everything seemed new and great for me to study and it just seemed like a
great opportunity -- a great place to go really.
Kingston as a town is a fantastic place for a student -- it really is. I have always said
that it's the best of both worlds -- you don't have the hustle and bustle of central London
and its just out of the way enough to be tranquil and quite calm. Transport into central London
-- many many different ways. You have the bus, which probably takes around 45 minutes
max -- very cheap. You have the train links -- that's 25, 30 minutes maximum.
I have always used the lab rooms, which is where I am now. You can see that there are
lots of computers. I only come here because I like to study on my own -- to be focussed.
'Study Space' is where you can access all of your modules, all the information about
the lecturers, everything to do with your assignments -- your deadlines -- reading lists
that you have to read up on as well.
All of the software is updated regularly so you won't have any problems with that. It's
really fast -- really easy to use as well. Its all the same if you go to the library
and the other study rooms or the lab rooms so you wont have any problems. You can also
access your hard drive from home as well so you don't have to use a USB all of the time.
I can research about the music area, which is just down to the side where they have computers
and equipment for people to use. It caters for a lot of things and doesn't keep you narrow
minded. Its broadly minded. You meet a lot of students here as well.
Kingston has everything that you would expect from a city really -- bars, restaurants, cinema,
bowling. We have the riverside here, which is lovely in the summer -- plenty of bars
and restaurants alongside here.
The community seems very welcoming of the students here. They very much embrace having
the students
So my role within the Business School is an employability consultant. I work with the
Business School to enhance the employability of Kingston students
We have a number of events throughout the year that focus on lots of different employers
coming into campus. Some employers promote internships, work placements, graduate schemes
and we have quite a lot of creative events as well -- speed interviewing, question and
answer sessions and lots of our alumni come into campus as well and the whole idea of
those events are to enhance the employment opportunities for students. So from the first
year, they are starting to think about their graduate career prospects.
The KU Talent team are here to help you recognise your career potential. We are recruitment
experts and we will do our best to ensure that there is a smooth transition for you
to the workplace.
Well I will be going into my final year in September, after having completed a summer
internship, which is partly thanks to the university. They have really helped me a lot
through the placements office and the Business School to secure this.
Eventually I would love to do my MBA and I suppose it's very likely that I will come
back to Kingston Business School for that.
Why I love studying at Kingston University? -- Because its flexible, I can come in whenever
I want to study. I can get access to the library -- the study rooms. You can also book separate
rooms to do your presentations with your group.
You also have the canteen as well so you're not always just in the library or lab rooms
In terms of learning, I would have to say that the highlights are the facilities, the
lecturers and the availability of everything -- the convenience. The research centre is
open 24 hours a day so there are no excuses to not study. The lecturers are very open,
very friendly and im very happy to have chosen the Business School. I can hole heartedly
say that its lived up to my expectations and I would recommend it to any prospective student.
Students who come to Kingston Business School because of our teaching, our research, and
not only that the quality of the experience that they will get whilst at Kingston University,
will set them up for the rest of their life.
