The School was established in 1831, and has played an integral role in the life of King's since the university was formed almost 200 years ago. It has one of this country's most distinguished research and teaching reputations - staff are active in research and among the leading international experts. This helps us to continue to push the boundaries of academic thought and to innovate across disciplines.
