What the newspapers say

Here's what the newspapers say about Kingston University:

Career focus

“The vocational nature of most [of Kingston's] courses stands students in good stead [ie puts them in a good position] when it comes to getting jobs.”
The Sunday Times 2008

“Kingston's outlook is resolutely job-focused.”
The Sunday Times 2007

“[Kingston] has a strong tradition of working closely with industry, and is regularly singled out in government speeches and reports for its commitment to vocational training.”
The Guardian 2006

Teaching

“Modest entry requirements hold Kingston back from the higher ranking in our league table that the quality of teaching on offer deserves [but] this is no bad thing. For it means that applicants with relatively modest A-level grades, or equivalent, can win places on courses where they will encounter excellent teachers and be engaged in stimulating work.”
The Sunday Times 2008

“[Kingston's] record on teaching quality puts it in the vanguard [ie front] of the modern university sector and is a match for many older institutions.”
The Sunday Times 2007

“Kingston is one of the most successful modern universities with a teaching record that is the envy of many other institutions, both ancient and modern.”
The Sunday Times 2006

Facilities

“Having established itself as one of the fastest-growing new universities, with over 22,000 students, Kingston is developing a learning environment to match.”
The Times 2008

“[Kingston] has invested in cutting-edge e-learning systems with students now able to access at least 80% of course modules online.”
The Guardian 2008
