About us

The Policy Institute at King's is a unique school within King's, bringing together the best of rigorous academic research, the nimbleness of consultancy, and the policy focus of a think tank.

In 2023, we merged with King's International School of Government, and are currently undergoing a period of rapid change, including the institution of new masters degree programmes; executive education programmes; and a new PhD programme in Applied Public Policy. This adds to an existing ambitious and impactful research programme, and ongoing professional education delivered for the UK Civil Service, as well as governments around the world.

The next five years will see us deliver an ambitious strategy for growth and change, to help build a world that is governed with intelligence; integrity; and innovation.
