Hi,

There is some guidance available on the King's website regarding offer timelines and application processing:

Depending on the time of year, it may also take longer to process applications, particularly around deadline periods. Please ensure that your online application form is as complete as possible at the time of submission to avoid unnecessary delays and ask your referee(s) to be ready to submit a reference promptly.
Please also be aware there can be other factors that result in it taking longer for you to receive a final decision, for example, if you apply to a course where an interview is required, obtaining necessary approvals for funding or your application is sent to the department for review.

It also gives a timeline of when each course typically receives a response:

All Postgraduate: 10 weeks

Arts & Humanities: 13 weeks

King’s Business School: 8 weeks

Dentistry, Oral and Craniofacial Sciences: 14 weeks

Dickson Poon School of Law: 12 weeks

Life Sciences & Medicine: 7 weeks

Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences: 12 weeks

Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care: 5-6 weeks

Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience: 12 weeks

Social Science and Public Policy: 10 weeks


Since your wait time has extended beyond these typical timelines, especially from fall to now, I would definitely recommend contacting the admissions team directly as it's possible your application has stalled in the system.

You can do this by logging into the King's application portal here:
https://apply.kcl.ac.uk/

Once logged in, send a message directly to the admissions team requesting an update. Also, be sure to check your junk/spam email in case an update has been misdirected there.

I hope this helps!
