King’s College London
In 1828, a group of churchmen and politicians decided to form a college in London and this led to the foundation of King’s college London. The purpose of this college was to produce an alternative of Church of England, which later became the University College London. King George the fourth awarded the college with Royal charter in 1829 and in 1836, University of London was founded, while UCL and Kings College were the first affiliate colleges of the University. Kings College has produced many famous personalities including Peter Higgs, Lord Lister, Sir James Black, Desmond Tutu, and many more. The institute is also renowned for producing 10 Nobel Prize winners; these people include Charles Barkla, Sir Owen Richardson, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Sir Charles Scott Sherrington, Sir Edward Appleton to name a few. King’s College is now close to 200 years old and is ranked among the top 25 universities of the world, which is a huge achievement. The college is also renowned for highest graduate salaries and graduate employment rates in UK. All of the above mentioned qualities make King’s one of the favourite institution of students from all around the world.
