AKC Podcast
Welcome to the AKC podcast!
The Associateship of King’s College (AKC) is the original award of King's College London, dating back to its foundation in 1829 and reflecting its first motto: ‘sancte et sapienter’ (with holiness and wisdom). AKC lectures enrich and broaden the academic curriculum at King’s in a unique way.
All AKC lectures are delivered from the perspective of the academic delivering them and do not represent an official position of King’s College London.
