Read on 3 November 2026 on King's College London's Computer Science BSc course and entry-requirements pages, which describes 2027 entry. King's general entry requirements, the English language page, the fees pages, the country-specific equivalents and the 2028-entry values were not read, and the pages list no additional admissions test or interview so none is stated and are not stated.
The degree
Foundations first, specialisation in the third year
King's says the first two years focus on the foundations of computer science, including programming, software engineering, databases, artificial intelligence, logic and computer systems, with a team software project in the second year. The third year lets you specialise through optional modules and complete an individual project.
Is it the right degree?
Computer Science beside the integrated Master's
King's offers two routes from the same subject.
Choose the BSc if
you want a three-year degree with an option to apply for a year in industry or study abroad during the course.
Consider the MSci if
you want a fourth year of substantial project work. The page describes it as an integrated Master's.
Compare other universities if
Mathematics at A level or IB is not in your plan, because King's requires it.
Entry rules
A*A*A with Mathematics, and what the page says about the EPQ
The required A-level grades are A*A*A, including grade A in Mathematics or Further Mathematics, and Computing or Computer Science is preferred. The contextual requirement is AAA. The IB requirement is 39 points overall, or an aggregate of 20 from three Higher Levels, including grade 6 in Higher Level Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches; the contextual requirement is 36 points or an aggregate of 18. King's does not consider the EPQ. The pages list no additional test or interview. This page states no scores beyond King's own wording.
A decision framework
Three questions before you commit
This is Avandy's own framework, not King's.
Is Mathematics part of your A levels or IB?
It is a required subject.
Do you want a foundations-first computing degree?
The first two years are foundational by design.
Does BCS accreditation matter to your plans?
King's says it supports professional membership.
