Kingston University
Kingston University’s teaching is frequently rated as among the best in the UK.
According to The Times, “Kingston remains one of the best deals in higher education. Its record on teaching quality puts it in the vanguard of the modern university sector and is a match for many older institutions. Students have caught on and now more apply to Kingston than to any other London-based university.” (The Sunday Times, September 2007).
St George’s, University of London
Founded in 1733, St George’s, University of London enjoys a worldwide reputation for teaching and research excellence and is the only independently governed medical school in England.
