Our response

I write to get some information about admissions through Adjustment at Kings College
London.
Can you please provide me with the following information for the admissions cycles of the
Years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (and 2021 if available):
1) The number of seats available for adjustment in the courses:
     a) Economics and Management BSc
     b) Economics BSc
     c) Mathematics with Management and Finance with BSc
     d) Business Management BSc;
There was no availability for these programmes via adjustment.  However, in 2017, 2018 and
2019 we had a limited number of spaces available via our Superstars scheme.  Our past
criteria for Superstar applicants for all courses has been to meet only the following
conditions: at least A*A*A in their top 3 A-Levels, or equivalent IB grades. Meeting this
criteria did not, however, guarantee on offer.

2) The number of applicants accepted in each of the above course through adjustment in the
respective years;
Zero.

3) The Most common grades students received on results day to get accepted onto the
courses through Adjustment;
Not applicable.

4) The 5 most common subjects of the students that get accepted onto the courses through
Adjustment.
Not applicable.
However, the following numbers relate to those who were accepted via the Superstar
Scheme. Note that there were no spaces via our Superstar Scheme in 2020 for the respective
courses. Likewise, for the respective years no-one was accepted for the Economics &
Management BSc course.

The following requests do not require an answer for each year:

5) The process of how Kings College London assesses if a student should be accepted or
rejected through adjustment.
In past cycles, assessments for programmes with availability in adjustment were made on a
first come first serve basis and acceptance was dependent on fulfilling the relevant entry
requirements.

6) The contact number of Kings Col ege London through which the Adjustment process will
take place.
Information about the Adjustment process, including contact information, will be made
available on our website in due course. You can access the King’s website
here:  https://www.kcl.ac.uk/aboutkings/orgstructure/ps/acservices/admissions/admissions

This completes the university’s response to your information request.
