King’s College London
King’s College London, founded in 1829, is one of the UK’s leading universities, especially strong in health, law, humanities, social sciences, and more. With about 42,736 students from over 160 countries, more than half are international, making KCL a very global and culturally diverse place. International tuition varies by subject: non-lab subjects are comparatively less expensive, while Medicine and Dentistry programmes cost much more. On top of tuition, living in London is expensive – accommodation, travel, food etc. add up. King’s is highly ranked globally (#31 in QS for 2026; ~#36 in THE), so you’re getting prestige, strong research, and good networking opportunities, though cost planning is needed.
