Your experience at King’s College will of course, not only be limited to academics. For this, you will always find a safe and engaging space for you to pursue your interests and passions at the campus.

The studies explore local innovations and disseminate the learnings to a wide range of audience including students, policymakers, professionals, and business leaders.

The Center for Professional Development at King’s works to make meaningful connections between the students at King’s and the industries they work in. The Insight Series, for example, brings the richness of knowledge and experience from notable industry professionals into learning spaces for students through interactions.

By placing the community at the center of the learning process, CSLP facilitates the service-learning projects of the students, helping them immerse meaningfully in their communities while critically analyzing communities’ issues from a wide range of perspectives and conceptualizing entrepreneurial solutions to those issues. Some notable service learning projects include supporting community schools as teachers, door-to-door canvassing about various social issues and assessing gender equality and social inclusion at King’s College, among others.
