Kings has a formal progression agreement from the Advanced Level Foundation to Goldsmiths

Goldsmiths University of London has an excellent reputation as an academic and research institution with a famously strong arts and social sciences offering and there are several world-renowned artists among its alumni, including Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen, Mercury-prize winning musician James Blake and Turner prize winners Damien Hirst and Laure Prouvost. The main campus stretches over the busy, vibrant district of New Cross, just 10 minutes by train from Central London.

Goldsmiths acknowledges the Kings' Advanced Level Foundation as equivalent to A-levels, providing students with an alternative pathway to higher education. Students who meet the specified foundation grades are offered a place at the university, giving them the opportunity to pursue their academic goals and excel in their chosen field.
