How to prepare for War Studies at King's College London

An open-day conversation with War Studies academics can give an applicant concrete advice about preparation.

Question

What should a college student studying politics, modern history, and mathematics do to improve their chances of entering War Studies at King's?

Short answer

Attend an open day, speak directly with the academics, and use their advice to align preparation with what the department actually expects.

Notes

Attend an open day and have a substantive conversation with the academics who teach the program. Demonstrating real interest gives staff a chance to explain which preparation will be most useful. Personal contact does not guarantee admission. It can provide better information about the course and a clearer sense of how the applicant's existing subjects fit War Studies.
