Get connected. Make a difference.

Welcome to King’s We are delighted to welcome you to King’s. King’s is academically affiliated with Western University which is one of Canada’s oldest, largest, and most beautiful universities. King’s is a vibrant centre of learning with a wealth of resources to ensure that your academic and personal experiences are rewarding and memorable.

Every year, King’s and Western welcome hundreds of international, graduate and undergraduate students.

People from all over the world – the Asia-Pacific region, the Caribbean, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, the United States, African countries, and Europe – come to study and do research at one of the most outstanding universities in Canada.

We look forward to welcoming you in person and will do everything we can to make your university experience a wonderful one.

London, Ontario, Canada Located about a two-hour drive from Toronto, London is known by many as the “Forest City.” Its tree-lined boulevards and green parks invite bicyclists and walkers to discover the charms of the city built along the Thames River. This peaceful setting gives Canada’s 15th largest city a small town feel, despite its population of almost 366,000.

King’s main Fall/Winter session from September to April spans the seasons of autumn, winter, and spring. Temperatures range from a July (summer) average in the mid 20s C to a January (winter) average temperature of –6 degrees C. You will need warm clothing, a heavy coat, hat and gloves for the cold season.

Visit KUCSC at www.kucsc.ca The Centre for Social Concern engages in research and public awareness programs focusing on a variety of local and world issues. To foster social action and the exploration of questions of justice and peace, the Centre supports a research centre in the Library and offers a service of symposia and guest lectures.

Student involvement is encouraged.

Visit http://www.kings.uwo.ca/academics/centreskings/centre-for-social-concern/ The Centre for Creativity supports and encourages endeavours in all areas of the arts. Given the special character of King’s University College as a Catholic institution, the Centre provides an educational function for the King’s community and seeks to develop links with other groups in the wider community. An important goal is to raise personal and social awareness of global issues. The Centre fosters scholarly activities and supports creative endeavours in such diverse areas as the fine arts, poetry and prose, religion and music.

Students are invited to participate – both by attending events and/or becoming involved as volunteers.

The Centre for Catholic-Jewish Learning was established at King’s in 2004 in order to celebrate and further the renewal that was wrought in the relationship between the communities at The Second Vatican Council. At the time of its original inception, the Centre was tasked with the mandate of working toward the eventual establishment of a trilogue between all three Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Visit www.kings.uwo.ca/cjcml/ KAMP King’s Academic Mentoring Program (KAMP) is designed to address every aspect of our students’ interaction with our community to maximize their likelihood of academic and personal success. This involves mentoring students on issues ranging from basic life skills, to the rhythm of student life and the various academic checkpoints and milestones that they will encounter. Mentors also provide guidance on how to successfully transfer to university from high school.

Conceived as a student run mentoring program housed under the auspices of the Vice Principal Academic, it is designed to entice exemplary students to seek opportunities of volunteerism at King’s. It provides an opportunity for senior students to give back to the King’s community and guide younger students in their journey through academia.
