A thriving intellectual community of students and staff is fundamental to Kent’s position as a research-intensive university. In addition to lectures, seminars and one-to-one supervisions, our students are able to benefit from a rich and stimulating research culture.

Academic schools hold regular events to provide a forum for students and staff to discuss their ongoing research activities. Schools also invite speakers who are leaders in their field to give guest lectures at Kent. Postgraduate students are encouraged to take an active role in the academic community and develop their skills by presenting work at research seminars, participating in conferences and publishing papers.

The Graduate School coordinates a range of activities to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and advance research skills development.

The postgraduate community at Kent is supported by the Graduate School which works in partnership with academic schools to enhance the quality of the postgraduate student experience.
