Chatham House

Chatham House is an independent policy institute and a trusted forum for debate and dialogue. For 100 years, its research and ideas have helped people, societies and governments understand and adapt to our changing world.

Chatham House has provided thought leadership on key issues that defined the 20th century. It helped craft the multilateral institutions and mechanisms of global financial stability after the Second World War and gave African independence leaders a platform throughout decolonisation. Its research influenced China’s establishment of low-carbon economic zones, and the Chatham House Rule has helped foster open dialogue and ideas-sharing.

Today, at the beginning of its second century, Chatham House continues to offer solutions to global challenges and actively seeks to empower the next generation to change their world.

Chatham House’s three second century goals are intended to enable and build peaceful, sustainable and inclusive societies. It is privileged to hold a long-standing position of trust on the world stage and seeks to use this to champion positive change for people everywhere.

Associateship of King’s College (AKC)

Enhance your performance and impact your organisation

The AKC is at the heart of the King’s commitment to an international, interdisciplinary and innovative curriculum: it seeks to foster an understanding of different beliefs and cultures that can be taken into wider society. The programme is unique to King’s, and is the only course open to all King’s students, as well as to staff and alumni. The AKC programme offers two series of academic lectures each year, on every campus. It is normally a three-year programme, designed to run alongside students’ main programme of study.

We are delighted to announce that the AKC is now being launched as a Distance Learning Programme available to King’s alumni.

The AKC is the original university award and has been taught since 1829. It has recently been expanded to include modules in Philosophy of Religion, and Ethics. Alumni who successfully complete three years of the AKC programme (the same regulations as for campus-based students) are eligible for election by the Academic Board, on behalf of the College Council, as Associates of King’s College London.
