Kingston University seeks to establish a learning culture in which teaching and research of the highest quality are able to flourish equally. It aims to combine respect for traditional academic values with enthusiasm for novelty and innovation in higher education. Research at Kingston keeps teaching up-to-date with the most recent developments, and many lecturers feed knowledge from industry or the professions into their teaching. Kingston puts students at the heart of its enterprise.

Most undergraduate subject areas are open to study abroad students and students design their own program of study (subject to classes being approved and timetabling constraints). Kingston has six Faculties that participate in the Study Abroad program: Art, Design and Architecture; Arts and Social Sciences; Business and Law; Computing, Information Systems and Mathematics; Engineering; Science.

Kingston offers a British Life and Culture class to all Study Abroad students.

In addition to the lectures and excursions each student undertakes an independent study on some aspect of British Life.
