Study in the heart of the capital

KIC London is based in the heart of Englands famous capital city. It benefits from excellent
train, bus and Underground links to the rest of London, as well as many local facilities including
shops, restaurants and cafs. It is also only a ten-minute walk from City University London.
London is made
up of two ancient
cities: the City of
London (which is
the financial centre)
and the City of
Westminster (which
is the political centre)
and 31 boroughs
Each borough is
formed of distinct
areas that have their
own character, so
that London feels
like many colourful,
unique towns all
joined together
The great eighteenth century English writer

Dr Samuel Johnson famously observed,
A man who is bored of London is bored
of Life. Today, London remains one of the
most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the
world and offers international students an
experience they will find truly unforgettable.
As a resident rather than a tourist, London
will become your city. Its wealth of amenities,
leisure facilities, world famous visitor
attractions and vibrant night life will be yours
to use and enjoy.
London is a multicultural city which has
become home to communities worldwide.
Over 300 languages are spoken by Londons

residents, and the city has around 6,000
restaurants with menus from more than 70
countries and regions, so as an international
visitor, you will quickly feel at home.
London is a city that reflects 2,000 years of
history but looks firmly to the future. It has a
rich cultural and architectural heritage but is
one of the worlds leading financial centres.
Furthermore, as the host city for the 2012
Olympic Games, this is a particularly exciting
time to live in London as the city gears up for
one of the worlds biggest sporting events.
City University

London is one of
the greenest capital

The University of Southampton is a leading

university with an outstanding reputation.
It has excellent facilities and I also find its
teaching methodology so unique because it

The things that I mostly enjoy about living in

friendly neighbourhood. It is easy to find halal
butcher shops as well as international foods.

Your home in London

As a student at KIC London, you will be offered a room in some of the most modern and high
quality accommodation anywhere in the city.
All KIC London students are guaranteed a place in one of our self-catering halls of residence,
within easy reach of the College. All rooms are en-suite (you have a private bathroom) and
are grouped into apartments where you will share kitchen and dining facilities.
Typically, halls of residence for KIC London

features:
Internet access included in the rent, so
you can easily keep in touch with friends
and family back home
A common room, so you have

somewhere to relax with friends at the

Part-time work and scholarships

If you come from a big city such as London, you will know that life can be expensive.
However, you will find that the many student discounts available in London, and other
savings that can be made, will mean costs can be kept down.
Your living costs
Part-time work
The British Council estimates that the

average student in London needs around
800 a month to cover accommodation,
food, clothes and basic needs. For the latest
tuition fee information please visit:
www.kiclondon.org.uk/tuitionfees
A part-time job can be a good way to ensure

you have extra spending money for leisure
activities and socialising. During university
term time, international students are legally
allowed to work for a maximum of 20 hours
a week (10 hours a week while studying
at KIC London). Academic success is your
priority, but working part-time may help
you to improve your English, build your
confidence, gain useful work experience and
make new friends.
Student discounts
Many shops, theatres, cinemas, museums
and galleries offer reductions for students
and special student fares are often available
on buses and trains.
The Student Services Team will be able to
give you more information.
For the latest information on working while

studying in the UK visit:

unconditional offer means there are
no academic or English language
conditions to fulfil. All you have to do is
accept your offer and pay your deposit
in order to reserve a place on your
programme.
A conditional offer means there
are academic or English language
conditions which you must fulfil before

Information for parents

As a parent, you will have your childs best interests at heart: their happiness, their safety,
their education and their future. We provide students with the support they need to get the
most out of studying in the UK. If you have any queries, please get in touch.
Why study in the United Kingdom?
What will my child eat?
A degree from a leading UK university

will set your child apart from others and
open up opportunities for them that they
otherwise may not have. As well as the
academic excellence provided by our
partner universities, your child will benefit
from gaining an international perspective in
the UK.
A benefit of living in a big UK city is that it

is easy to find a variety of foods. Cuisine
from around the world is available in
nearby restaurants and supermarkets,
and vegetarian and halal food is widely
available. If your child lives in halls of
residence they will have access to a kitchen
so that they can cook their own food.
Is KIC London trust-worthy?
Will my child get homesick?
KIC London is BAC accredited and its

programmes are quality approved by our
prestigious partner universities.
It is likely that your child will miss being

home initially, but we do everything we can
to make your child feel comfortable. During
induction we will help your child adapt
to life in the UK. They will meet staff and
students and social events are arranged
so that it is easy to make friends, and your
child will be kept busy and entertained.
The College is part of Kaplan, Inc., which

is a leading global provider of educational
services for individuals, schools and
businesses in 36 countries. Kaplan has
been established for over 70 years and is
one of the largest providers of academic
English language training in the world.
What are the costs?

For up-to-date information on fees and living
expenses please visit
www.kiclondon.org.uk/tuitionfees
Will my child be safe?

We cant monitor your child all of the time,
but we will do our utmost to ensure their
safety while they are studying in the UK.
See pages 12, 32 and 33 for information
on your childs safe arrival in the UK, their
accommodation options and the ongoing
support that KIC London offers its students.
Can my child practise their religion?

London is the UKs biggest city, so it is easy
to find places of worship locally. During your
childs induction, the Student Services team
will provide information on local religious
services. Our staff members are very
considerate and will, wherever possible,
allow students time for prayer.
How will my child keep in contact?

Keeping in contact with your child is
straightforward. Email and the internet
provide cheap and easy ways to stay in
touch, and international phone cards can
help keep costs low as well. The UK postal
system is reliable, so if you prefer to write
letters, this is an option.
When can I see my child?

You can visit your child at any time, and
they will be able to visit you during breaks
between terms. The longest break is usually
in August and September, so this is an ideal
time for your child to return home, or for you
to visit them.
How do I find out more?

To find out more please call us or send us an
email. For contact details see the back cover
of this brochure. Alternatively you can find
more information at www.kiclondon.org.uk
