King's Accelerated Bridging Program (KAB)

The KAB program is for students who are slightly below the minimum language requirements to be admitted directly to King's for degree studies in September. In partnership with the International Centre for English for Academic Preparation (ICEAP), King's will conditionally admit students to study in this intensive language program if they present minimum required proficiency scores.
