King’s College London Open Week 12-16 March

Hello,

Sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering if you could give me some advice.

I am currently finishing off my A level exams and I have accepted my offer to study War Studies for the coming year. However, I have decided that I want to take a year off so that I could intern at a local think-tank for work experience.

So I was wondering if you could advise me on how best to go about asking the university for a deferment, or if they would even allow me to defer.

I hope to hear from you soon.

P.S. Sorry for posting this on your profile page, I just found this page.

Hi asiansentinel,

Thanks for the message - its no bother, that's what we're here for!

Have you looked at the online prospectus re deferred entry? Take a look at this page, especially the third paragraph under the section 'Selection procedure': http://www.kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/undergraduate/applying/name/war-studies/alpha/W/header_search/

You will need to get in touch with the admissions team for War Studies to discuss your options I think, as I'm not sure of their procedure and they will be much better placed to answer your specific queries. You can contact them through the myApplication portal, or it might be worth giving them a call for a faster answer, try 020 7848 1403. They will be more than happy to help and offer advice.

I hope this helps,

Fran

Thank you so much for the assistance Fran, I greatly appreciate it.

Hello once again Fran,

When can we enrol for AKC (Associate of King's COllege) course? I really want to do it! Also, is it free?

I was wondering if it was advisable to do some reading before September. If so is there a reading list? I'm doing international politics.

Hi usernamevoid,

Glad to hear you're interested in the AKC! It really is unique, its the original qualification King's gave when it first opened! The course is free, last three years, is just one hour of lectures a week and starts in the first week of October. You will be able to register/enrol for it as soon as your online student record is set up (i.e. shortly after you register in late September)

Hope this helps!

Do you have any department specific brochures available to download to save looking through the entire prospectus each time I want to refer to it? I'm looking for a brochure for the history department but can't seem to find one. Thanks

Hi,

For your Pharmacy course I've seen on the online prospectus saying the required grades are AAB at A-Level and a pass at an AS, I just wanted to ask if there is a specific grade needed for that AS pass? Thanks for answering my question, looking forward to your response.

KCL rocks, it's my dream uni!!!!!
Anyways i actually came to ask a question
OK, I’m nearly finishing my GCSE and my grades......aren't the best compared to the people who are applying for dentistry, so after doing some research i heard of your enhanced support dentistry programme and I’m really interested but i don't really understand the entry requirements
OK, let’s just say I’m speaking hypothetically i get pretty low GCSEs but i excel my A-levels would i still get to be part of this programme or will i have to go in the ordinary 5 year course? Also do you accept GCSE re-sits?
Thanks in advance

Hi lil-mazie

Thanks for your message. Can I just check whereabouts in the UK you are based? This is the first year of the Enhanced Support Dentistry Programme and to begin with it is going to be available to students who from non-selective states schools that we work with that are in the Greater London, Medway and Kent areas of the UK, but in due course it may be made open to applicants from outside of these regions. Therefore, if you are based outside of these areas, by the time you are applying for uni, this may be an option to you then.

In terms of your questions about entry requirements for this programme, we are basically looking for you to have met the entry requirements for A Level and AS Level, so GCSEs aren't quite so important, though we do request that you have at least a B in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths, if you haven't taken them for A or AS Level. In terms of GCSE resits, this isn't necessarily counted against you, though you must meet the requirements for English Language and Maths as I said above.

If you want more information about the programme I would suggest that you contact the admissions team as they will be happy to help discuss your questions: [email protected] or 020 7848 6512.

I hope this helps!
