The University of Kent, the UK’s European university, is one of the country’s most dynamic universities. Established in 1965, it now has 19,850 students studying at its various campuses including Canterbury, Medway and Tonbridge in the picturesque south-east of England and continental-European sites in Athens, Brussels, Paris, and Rome.

The University is a major educational, economic and cultural force throughout its region and has well-established external networks and partnerships with leading universities in Europe and around the world, providing students with opportunities to study and work abroad.

Kent has an established reputation for the quality of its research; confirmed by our excellent performance in the most recent, 2008, Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). All our academic schools are engaged in research of international and world-class standing.

We perform consistently well in the UK national league tables. The University is ranked in the top 20 (The Guardian University Guide 2015), the top 30 (The Times Good University Guide 2015) and is ranked 24th in the prestigious Times Higher Education ‘Table of Tables’ for 2015.

Students consistently rate Kent as offering one of the best student experiences in the country and our students are among the UK’s most satisfied with their academic experience. In the 2014 National Student Survey, we scored 91% in the ‘overall satisfaction’ category, which is the third highest score nationally.
