Superb student experience
Kent is one of the UK’s leading universities. Voted third in the UK for overall student satisfaction (National Student Survey) and ranked 22nd in the Guardian University Guide, we offer a unique experience. We attract a large number of international students thanks to our global reputation for academic excellence and inspiring teaching.
Kent is based in beautiful locations in south-east England, less than an hour’s train journey from London. Centres in Paris, Brussels and Athens, and partnerships with universities from around the world, contribute to our international outlook and the diversity of our students and staff. We have a welcoming atmosphere, and students describe the University as a friendly place with a great social scene.
Academic excellence
Our academic schools produce world-class research, and we are rated as internationally excellent, leading the way in many fields of study. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), Kent was ranked in the top 15% of UK institutions for world-leading research. This means that we are considered among the best research universities in the UK.
A global outlook
We are a truly international university with students from 125 countries. We have partnerships with some of the most prestigious universities in the world including Waseda University in Japan, Hong Kong University, University of California (Berkeley), Athens University of Economics and Business, and the Sorbonne.
Kent is a multicultural, multi-faith university with chaplains from a large number of religious traditions, and our student societies celebrate a wide range of festivals such as Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving and Diwali.
Beautiful locations
Our campuses at Canterbury and Medway provide a stunning location for your studies and offer first-class academic and leisure facilities. Our self-contained Canterbury campus is nestled in 300 acres of parkland overlooking Canterbury Cathedral, a world heritage site. Our Medway campus provides state-of-the-art study facilities in a great location near the redeveloped historic dockside.
A successful future
Your course at Kent equips you with essential skills that can give you a competitive advantage when it comes to getting a job. We are consistently in the top 20 of graduate starting salaries and, six months after graduation in 2010, only 5% of Kent graduates were without a job or a further study opportunity.
