King's College Open Days - Booking Opens 19th April 2013

 
Pre-application open days

We run open days for each of our Schools of study offering undergraduate programmes. If you are considering applying to King's, they are an excellent opportunity for you to find out how your subject is taught, look around the relevant campus, learn about life at the College and talk to current students.
At each open day, there will be sessions run by the various departments or divisions in that particular School, as well as sessions on finance, accommodation and about being at university in London. There will also be guided tours of the campus where current students will talk about their life at King's.

If you are unable to attend an Open Day, please consider other ways of visiting King's, including guided campus tours, virtual tour or virtual open day.

Stand Out and be Counted - Careers in Social Science and Humanities

Stand Out and Be Counted

 

A guide to maximising your prospects

“I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians... The ability to take data – to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it – is going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades... Because now we really do have essentially free and ubiquitous data.” Hal Varian, Google’s Chief Economist

Generating and analysing data requires you to be numerate and statistically savvy. The skills that allow you to do this are highly prized in a range of careers. In collaboration with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), we have published a new guide signalling the value of data-handling skills to current undergraduate students.

Aimed at students in the social sciences and humanities, the guide seeks to challenge many of the myths that surround quantitative skills. Stand Out and Be Counted illustrates the concrete steps that can be taken to become adept at handling numbers and statistics.

The booklet contains personal stories from journalists, entrepreneurs, charity workers, lecturers, PhD candidates and civil servants. Case study contributions include: the CEO of Waterstones, the UK’s National Statistician, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Statistics, Director of the Nuffield Foundation, Director of YouGov and Editor of the Guardian’s DataBlog. Each one describes the steps taken to learn QS, and the careers that being statistically literate have led them to.
