Kingston University is a university in Kingston upon Thames, south-west London. Formerly a polytechnic, it was granted university status in 1992. Kingston University's earliest predecessor body is Kingston Technical Institute (later known as Kingston Technical College and Kingston College of Technology), which was founded in 1899. In 1930 the Art school separated away to become Kingston School of Art (later Kingston College of Art). The two colleges remained separate institutions until they later re-merged in 1970 to form Kingston Polytechnic.

In 1975 Gipsy Hill Teacher Training College also became part of Kingston Polytechnic. This training college was founded in Gipsy Hill, South London, in 1917. After being evacuated to Yorkshire during the Second World War, the college moved in 1946 to a site on Kingston Hill.
