What I like about King’s King’s is a school that is truly for its students and I have had the most accommodating experience here. I love that King’s provides the best of both worlds. I am able to learn in an intimate yet intellectually stimulating environment and experience the dynamics of Western’s other campuses. It is so wonderful to be around a group of people who have a zest for life and education.
Getting connected. I think that the cornerstone of what King’s has to offer is that it is based on community. There are so many clubs here that enable students to connect with the student community but also with London and the world. King’s Players, the drama company here, has introduced me to so many great people from varying walks of life and the Social Justice and Peace club has opened my eyes to global issues.

How my program makes a difference The Catholic Studies program at King’s supports students in becoming more reflective, critical, and engaged in their understanding of Catholicism. Understanding the rich theological, biblical, historical, and moral foundations of the Catholic faith is important in an age where religious commitment is increasingly dismissed, as religion remains a source of personal and moral value for many people. One of the things the program offers students is the opportunity to grow in their awareness of the relationship between religious worldviews and ethical horizons, and their ability to recognize and articulate the spiritual dimensions of personal, political, and social existence.

How my program makes a difference Students at King’s are not treated as passive learners, rather, they’re encouraged to become junior scholars, asking the same probing questions and developing the same problem solving skills as their professors. Art, literature, music, philosophy, history, religious studies and the other traditional liberal arts have been an integral part of every human civilization. The study of these things has value because it connects us to and enriches fundamental aspects of our humanity. The value of that can’t be overstated: it’s not just about how to make a living, but how to make a life.
