About the School of Arts

The School of Arts gets great student feedback and performs consistently well in higher education league tables. Here are seven good reasons to choose an arts course at Kent.

Our award-winning Jarman building at the heart of the University’s Canterbury campus incorporates professional standard studios, workshops and editing suites plus a stunning gallery space, Studio 3. Drama, Film and History & Philosophy of Art are based here, close to the cathedral city of Canterbury.

Meanwhile, our exciting new Medway development at an historic, river-front site just 45 minutes from London is home to Fine Art, Music & Audio and Creative Events.
