Events, Benefits & Services

Digital Credentials

At King’s, we value our alumni and are fortunate to have alumni volunteers who are committed to supporting our efforts in making the world a better place through service. Alumni volunteers can now receive digital credentials to recognise their volunteering commitments and efforts.

Digital credentials are made up of a digital certificate and a digital badge which can be shared on LinkedIn with your wider network and prospective employers.

We have four different types of volunteer recognition:

• International Alumni Representative

• Alumni Volunteer

• Alumni Mentor

• Mentee (for students only)

Whether you are supporting King’s students through a mentoring programme, speaking on a careers panel or helping at our events, digital credentials can be a powerful tool to showcase your volunteering achievement. Not only can you sync your credentials to your LinkedIn profile, but you also have the flexibility to share your digital badge on your social media channels and add it to your email signature. All issued digital credentials are verified, enhancing the credibility of your volunteering achievements if you choose to share this with your wider network on LinkedIn.

For more information, visit our webpage.

You can register your volunteering interest by completing this form or by emailing volunteering@kcl.ac.uk

Pre-Registration nursing course

Where could studying Nursing take you?

Did you know that here at King’s you can train to be a registered nurse in just two years (with an undergraduate degree in any subject), gain a masters and receive a training grant while you study?

Nurses enjoy exceptionally high levels of job security, a wide variety of career options, flexible schedules and competitive salaries to boot.

It takes a remarkable person to become a nurse – courage, empathy, perseverance, determination, and the ability to smile through adversity. A King’s masters will enable you to use those skills to transform lives. The MSc/MNurs programmes are designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to begin a rewarding career as either an adult nurse, mental health nurse (or both), or a children’s nurse. You will be studying at the No.1 nursing faculty in the UK and 2nd in the world (2023 QS World University Rankings).

To find out more about the nursing courses we offer, watch these short videos here.

Nursing at King’s provides you with the skills and experience to become a future leader in healthcare. Find out more.

Chatham House

Chatham House is an independent policy institute and a trusted forum for debate and dialogue. For 100 years, its research and ideas have helped people, societies and governments understand and adapt to our changing world.

Chatham House has provided thought leadership on key issues that defined the 20th century. It helped craft the multilateral institutions and mechanisms of global financial stability after the Second World War and gave African independence leaders a platform throughout decolonisation. Its research influenced China’s establishment of low-carbon economic zones, and the Chatham House Rule has helped foster open dialogue and ideas-sharing.

Today, at the beginning of its second century, Chatham House continues to offer solutions to global challenges and actively seeks to empower the next generation to change their world.

Chatham House’s three second century goals are intended to enable and build peaceful, sustainable and inclusive societies. It is privileged to hold a long-standing position of trust on the world stage and seeks to use this to champion positive change for people everywhere.

Associateship of King’s College (AKC)

Enhance your performance and impact your organisation

The AKC is at the heart of the King’s commitment to an international, interdisciplinary and innovative curriculum: it seeks to foster an understanding of different beliefs and cultures that can be taken into wider society. The programme is unique to King’s, and is the only course open to all King’s students, as well as to staff and alumni. The AKC programme offers two series of academic lectures each year, on every campus. It is normally a three-year programme, designed to run alongside students’ main programme of study.

We are delighted to announce that the AKC is now being launched as a Distance Learning Programme available to King’s alumni.

The AKC is the original university award and has been taught since 1829. It has recently been expanded to include modules in Philosophy of Religion, and Ethics. Alumni who successfully complete three years of the AKC programme (the same regulations as for campus-based students) are eligible for election by the Academic Board, on behalf of the College Council, as Associates of King’s College London.
