King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a constituent college of the federal University of London. King's has a claim to being the third-oldest university in England, having been founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829, receiving its royal charter in the same year.^[4][5] In 1836 King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.^[6][7][8]

King's is organised into nine academic schools, spread across four Thames-side campuses in central London and another in Denmark Hill in south London.^[9] It is one of the largest centres for graduate and post-graduate medical teaching and biomedical research in Europe; it is home to six Medical Research Council centres, the most of any British university,^[10] and is a founding member of the King's Health Partners academic health sciences centre. King's has around 25,000 students and 6,113 staff and had a total income of £554.2 million in 2011/12, of which £154.7 million was from research grants and contracts.^[1]

King's is ranked 68th in the world (and 19th in Europe) in the 2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities,^[11] 26th in the world (and 7th in Europe) in the 2012 QS World University Rankings,^[12] and 56th in the world (and 12th in Europe) in the 2012 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.^[13] There are currently 10 Nobel Prize laureates amongst King's alumni and current and former faculty.^[14] In September 2010, The Sunday Times selected King's as its ""University of the Year"".^[15] King's is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, the Russell Group and Universities UK. It forms part of the 'golden triangle' of British universities.^[16]

King's is one of the top universities in the world and its graduates are highly sought by firms across the globe; in a survey of global business leaders when asked to name the top universities they like to recruit from, King's ranked 22nd in the world and 5th in the UK.^[17
