You need to install the kubuntu-desktop package for the full install.
The GUI method would be to click this button:
The command line method would be:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Then the next time you login you can choose what to use from the login screen (under Session).

I think the most complete answer is here. According to what you want to install (only the GUI or GUI+some packages).
Citing the content of the answer:
plasma-netbookandplasma-desktopdiffer only by whether they
install the netbook or the desktop interface.kde-workspaceis
identical toplasma-desktop.
kde-plasma-desktopwill install a few KDE programs: Dolphin,
Konqueror, kde-baseapps, konsole, kwrite, and kde-passwd.
kde-standardinstalls a bunch of stuff on top ofkde-desktop:
Akregator, Ark, Dragonplayer, gnupg, Kaddressbook, Kate, KDE
wallpapers, Kmail, etc.
kubuntu-desktopinstalls even more thankde-standard.kubuntu-desktop
is the package you would download from the Ubuntu website if you
wanted Kubuntu, but if you only want the Plasma interface, not any of
the default programs,plasma-desktopmight be sufficient.
Choose the package you want and then run sudo apt-get install package-name

I think the most complete answer is here. According to what you want to install (only the GUI or GUI+some packages).
Citing the content of the answer:
plasma-netbookandplasma-desktopdiffer only by whether they
install the netbook or the desktop interface.kde-workspaceis
identical toplasma-desktop.
kde-plasma-desktopwill install a few KDE programs: Dolphin,
Konqueror, kde-baseapps, konsole, kwrite, and kde-passwd.
kde-standardinstalls a bunch of stuff on top ofkde-desktop:
Akregator, Ark, Dragonplayer, gnupg, Kaddressbook, Kate, KDE
wallpapers, Kmail, etc.
kubuntu-desktopinstalls even more thankde-standard.kubuntu-desktop
is the package you would download from the Ubuntu website if you
wanted Kubuntu, but if you only want the Plasma interface, not any of
the default programs,plasma-desktopmight be sufficient.
Choose the package you want and then run sudo apt-get install package-name
