Associate of King's College
- Associate of King's College
The Associateship or Associate of King's College (AKC) award has been the degree-equivalent qualification of King's College London since 1833 [http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/iss/archives/collect/10ki4180.html] . It is the original qualification that the College awarded to its students.
Since 1909, only students registered for a University of London degree at King's have normally been allowed to study for the associateship. The three-year course involves weekly lectures concerning theology, ethics and philosophy. At the discretion of the Dean some postgraduates, and medical students who do not intercalate, are allowed to compress the programme into two years. There is also a special arrangement for members of staff of the College who already hold a degree to apply for permission to study for the AKC as a free-standing qualification.
Students take an annual examination. After graduating from King's, students who succeed in the AKC exams will be eligible to be elected as Associates of King's College. Associates use the post-nominal letters AKC after their names, along with the main qualification.
