Dear Student,

On behalf of everyone at King’s, I would like to say a very warm welcome to the start of your first term. We are delighted that you are joining us, either as a new or continuing student.

King’s is a world-leading university with a proud history of inspiring and supporting those who seek to solve the world's most pressing problems. Whichever faculty or school you are joining us in, I have no doubt that you too will excel here, and we look forward to supporting you to make the very most of your time with us.

I know that starting university may feel daunting as well as exciting, so I encourage you to make the most of our on-campus and online Welcome to King’s events and activities. They will help you to familiarise yourself with King’s and the opportunities and support available to you as you prepare to start your studies.

Once again, a very warm welcome to King’s, and we look forward to meeting you very soon.
