Known as the UK’s European university, Kent has strong links and partnerships across Europe. Our international reputation means we attract a high proportion of students from overseas: this year, 22% of our students came from countries outside the UK.
This creates a cosmopolitan atmosphere and a global learning environment. We encourage all of our students to develop their studies within an international perspective and many of our programmes tackle issues and topics that are of global significance, something that will help you to see the world in a different way.
Thanks to Kent’s many links with prestigious international universities and businesses, we offer an exciting range of opportunities to spend time studying or working abroad and we offer a number of programmes with our partner institutions. Our presence in Europe is further strengthened by our postgraduate centres in Brussels and Paris, which are only two hours away by train, and our new partnership with the Athens University of Economics and Business.
