How to apply
UK students should apply electronically via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS); international students can apply via UCAS or directly to the University via one of our authorised representatives in your own country.We welcome applications throughout the year, but it is advisable to apply early to avoid disappointment.
Via UCAS
You can find detailed instructions on how to apply on the UCAS website. You can apply directly to UCAS via the internet or via your school or college if it is an official UCAS online application centre. The UCAS system enables you to apply for up to five courses or universities on one form.
When applying online, you need to know that the institution code name for the University of Kent is KENT and the code number is K24. Each programme has a unique UCAS course code, for example, the UCAS code for the Social Sciences foundation year is L590. You can find the UCAS course code in this booklet on the appropriate subject page.
We welcome applications for the International Foundation Programme at any time of the year.
Direct application (via our authorised representatives)
If you need assistance and guidance with your application, it is also possible to apply online via one of our authorised representatives in your own country. The International Development team can provide you with details of you local representative, or you can visit our website for contact details.
Please do not use the direct application route if you have already applied via the UCAS application system.
