The building is located in the centre of London in Holborn referred to as “midtown”, enabling students to be able to live or work anywhere in and around London and still be able to access the College. Our physical location partly accounts for the College’s longstanding ties with the corporate and professional sectors to which it has provided training and consultancy services. The College is within a short walking distance of key legal institutions, notably the Royal Courts of Justice, the Supreme Court, Inns of Court, leading law firms and barrister chambers. Students at KCB have the opportunity to gain cross cultural experiences due to the cosmopolitan nature of London life and the international nature of the students at KCB. Students from various countries from all the continents of the world as well as from the UK study at Kensington College of Business on various courses. The atmosphere at the Campus is vibrant and truly multicultural. International events and parties are regularly organised at KCB. A range of events take place such as Tango and Salsa Dance Classes at KCB’s campus in the evenings.
KCB has more than 30 years of experience in delivering Undergraduate level and Postgraduate level courses of prominent British Universities such as Wales, Glamorgan, Hertfordshire, Portsmouth, Thames Valley and others. The faculty members at KCB are highly competent with extensive academic and industrial experience. Guest speakers who are top consultants and practitioners at leading companies are invited to deliver guest lectures as well as speeches at KCB for the benefit of students. This allows students at KCB to gain valuable insights into both past and contemporary business practices in real life. KCB prides itself on ensuring that a personal approach is taken towards teaching and learning. The Principal of KCB personally takes an interest in ensuring that all of KCB’s students are given individual attention by the lecturers. Regular feedback is provided to students on their progress from the point of view of assessment requirements.
KCB has a small onsite Library. It also has an online Library which contains the textbooks for the main subjects studied at KCB, together with journals through the EBSCO site. In addition, KCB provides details of other libraries such as the British Library, which students can use for reference.
There are three fully equipped computer labs, which have high speed internet access available via the Server of the University of London. Access to online resources including the online library of the University of Wales, which is one of the most comprehensive in the UK, is available to KCB students. There is a well-sourced Referencing Library within KCB’s Campus providing access to all of the core text books as well as additional reading materials for all of the Modules of the different courses taught at KCB.

KCB is higly recommended for all the students who want to become professionals!
I had my HND degree in here, I m now studying for my BA,year 3, I can tell you that the staff are absolutely professional.
Dr John Davies is one if the best teachers I have ever met in my life, very well trained, it was a real fortune to have him as a lecturer. He has always understood our needs and delivered his courses with a real passion and professionalism.
Mr Jaysingh B as well, is one of the top lecturers in KCB, if you don t miss his classes and pay attention to his lecturers, you can become very good in the subjects related to Finance.
Mr. Olu, working in administation, proved to be very helpful and a reliable person.
Having said all these, I highly recommend this college to all the future studens who want to achieve in life and become real professionals, just like all the lecturers who teach here.
Thank you very much!

John Davies is one of the best lecturers,professional and his manners to teach us are the best. Jay Singh is our finance lecturer, he is one of the top lecturers from this college and he is very professional and also dedicated to what he's doing, also his coursework help us a lot.

BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE....
I've study a MSc in Computing and lecturers were very obsolete with their knowledge, they have taught obsolete and superficial topics in IT, Technology is an area which is developing so fast that people cannot keep teaching old school subjects and content from 20 years ago.
Quality of other students are also poor, which makes that education needs to be at mediocre level in order to have people passing at this Poor School. The administration staff and management at KCB is also a bad example of how student welfare and attention should be. They just care about taking money and issuing degrees for it.
CHEAP EDUCATION, CHEAP LECTURERS PAID TOO AND THE END RESULT IS ALSO POOR FOR YOU..... I'd rather have the alternative and chance to pay for a Real University, not a mediocre College!!!!!!!

I am a currently studying at KCB-Chester degree and I haven't ever had any issues with the KCB admin staff.
The lecturers are also very supportive and offer you guidance if you really want to study.
There are students who have no idea about anything, never open a book and expect to get the degree ''stress free'' !
By George (Aug, 2017) |
It's a great college to study, and an excellent central location. I have done a HNC cours, 2th and currently the 3ed year BA Chester University.
The lecture are highly qualified with a lot of experience on the ground give real view of the business world.
The administration is helpful, however sometimes there is lack of communication and uncertainty.
Overall is excellent place to study!
