Build your future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare you for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Before you arrive, you’ll be given all the information and support you need to apply for a visa and make your journey to the UK. Our friendly staff will send you a pre-arrival guide for convenient reference, and will be ready to answer any questions you might have.
In your first week, before your classes start, you’ll meet tutors, College staff and other international students. We’ll show you around the College and its many facilities, as well as the university resources that you will have access to. If you need help setting up a bank account or finding a doctor, the student services team will be ready to assist.
You’ll be living in the heart of London, one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world, and the College will organise trips, events and activities to help you make the most of it.
