Attend your faculty induction

Make sure you book your faculty induction and optional social events via the Welcome to King’s app.  

Attending your induction is mandatory as it will provide key information for starting your course. If you’re arriving after your induction, please get in touch with your faculty or department.

Look after your health and wellbeing

If you haven’t done so already, we strongly encourage you to register with an NHS GP (General Practitioner) when you arrive on campus to access health services.

At King’s, we have our own NHS Health Centre that students can join for free. Our article How can I register with a doctor and/or dentist?  provides guidance on how to register with a GP for the first time.

Look out for your first edition of Live Well, Feel Great in your inbox soon. It’s our seasonal health and wellbeing magazine, packed with tips to help you enjoy a healthy, balanced and fulfilling university experience.
