Student facilities

Personal Tutors

All M.Sc. candidates are assigned tutors on arrival at College. Their role is to guide and advise them in their studies throughout the year and to oversee their general progress. Any tutor will be happy to see his/her students at any time to discuss problems, technical or otherwise, with them. The tutor will help in the choices of courses and the project topic, and will ensure that students find suitable supervisors for their projects.

Library Facilities

King's College has an excellent new journals and science library at Chancery Lane (a 7 mins walk from the Strand Campus). As students of the University of London, as well as of King's, all M.Sc. and Ph.D. candidates may have full access to this, as well as to those in the more than 40 other University of London institutions spread across the capital. A photocopying service is available on a do-it-yourself basis.

Computing Facilities

The College Information Systems and Services unit provides access to computing and data communication facilities, and gives advice and support on computing to all members of the College. Students can log on to multi-access UNIX computers at the Strand campus and at the library in Chancery Lane, both in the departments and in the Computing Centre's rooms. All computers are linked to ecah other and to the academic community beyond King's through the College-wide communications network. The national academic data communications network, JANET, provides access to national supercomputing facilities and to the Internet. IPNN M.Sc. candidates also have access to the terminal/PC rooms for postgraduate students in the Mathematics Department, with a variety of PC software including TeX, LaTeX, and Matlab for neural network applications (neural networks, optimization, statistics and symbolic maths toolboxes), but also to a departmental network of Unix workstations (Suns, DEC AlphaStations and PCs, running software including Mathematica and Maple, with Fortran, Pascal and C compilers).
