The University of Kent. Where ambition puts global success in students’ reach.
The University of Kent is a top-ranked global university with outstanding teaching, modern facilities, award-winning student support and welcoming study locations. Over 18,000 students from 152 countries study across its two spacious UK campuses in Canterbury and Medway and specialist postgraduate centres in Paris.
Students who choose Kent for their undergraduate or postgraduate degree will be joining an institution known for its outstanding research, and one that can help students to meet their career ambitions through excellent support and quality teaching. But beyond that, students are also joining a diverse community of thinkers - critical and creative - who will spark inspiration and challenge students to question their own expertise.
Students at two UK campuses and two European centres will benefit from leading facilities, the latest technology, and a truly supportive environment including various services aimed at tackling any student concerns or obstacles to successful study.
The focus of every single degree at Kent is not solely on the subject matter, but also the wider skillsets required to work in that field. As such, wherever possible, real-world experiences are woven into each degree, fully preparing students for their future role.
Students at Kent will benefit from world-class research, outstanding teaching quality and excellent careers guidance too. As well as developing skills in interviewing, finding jobs and building up a wide range of talents, students will earn Employability Points, rewarding the most pro-activestudents with the best opportunities for internships and more.
The university of Kent has partnered with SignLive, a virtual British Sign Language (BSL) interpreting service. This means that students and staff at the university who are BSL users are able to communicate with other staff and students much easier.
This is done via an online service that connects users to a registered interpreter, who will relay conversations via a video call. As the only university in England to use this service, it is a great advantage to BSL users who wish to apply without being limited in their communication.
Students can experience the university’s stunning campuses and centres from wherever they are in the world. Students can watch the recording of the student Q&A from the live event on Wednesday 22 February, hear from staff and students about the courses the university offers in the UK and Europe, and explore our campuses in Canterbury and Medway and centres in Paris.
Whatever students’ interests and goals, the university can help to make their ambition count. Students who wish to view the recording of the open day can do so on the university’s website.
