A diverse community

At Kingston University we are proud of our thriving, multicultural community. We have 24,720 students, with 4,124 international students from 151 countries, ranging from Australia to Zambia. There are currently 277 Indian students studying at Kingston University (as of December 2011).

Our international students are vital to the cultural mix of the University, bringing fresh ideas and approaches into our community. This diversity extends across the student population, with more than half our students coming from ethnic minority backgrounds.

This mix of nationalities and backgrounds is reflected in our range of student societies, which include Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Jewish and Christian societies.

What the papers say

"[Kingston's] attempts to widen access to higher education have been particularly successful among ethnic minorities, who account for more than half of undergraduates."
