You might hear from us sooner about your application, especially if we have any questions for you, or if we would like to invite you to interview. Wherever possible, we aim to provide a final decision within 8-12 weeks of application receipt.
Is UCL or King's harder to get into? Both UCL and KCL have rigorous admission standards reflecting their esteemed reputations and high demand for places. UCL typically receives more applications due to its global standing and extensive course offerings, resulting in a slightly more competitive admissions process.
Apply: the UCAS online application system. You should use this to make your application(s) to King's. 'Apply' will allow you to apply to several different universities and/or courses at once. You can apply to multiple courses at the same university.
Waiting for a decision King's aims to make decisions on applications within 4-8 weeks, though some of our very competitive postgraduate taught programmes operate a 'gathered field' process for applicants who meet the advertised entry requirements and may therefore take longer.
Admission to the majority of King's courses is highly competitive, and this means that unfortunately a large number of applicants - even those who meet or exceed the minimum entry requirements for consideration - will be unsuccessful each year.
King's College London does not make Unconditional offers to applicants until they have satisfied our academic conditions of entry (e.g. three A Levels or a completed International Baccalaureate), and we will not make Unconditional offers on the basis of predicted grades or GCSE marks.
