Paris centre
World's best city
Paris has been named the world’s best city in which to study (QS World University Rankings 2012).
Location
Our Paris centre is situated at Reid Hall, in the historic heart of Montparnasse, where Picasso and Modigliani had their studios, near cafés that were frequented by Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway. We are only a few minutes walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, which are an expansive, classically designed park, much frequented by students from the Sorbonne and other universities.

Photos of Reid Hall and the local area
Reid Hall occupies traditional buildings grouped around two quiet and leafy inner courtyards in a historic corner of Montparnasse. The premises were founded as a porcelain factory in the 18th century and have served as a centre for teaching and research since 1834. Reid Hall has been restored and modernised so that it retains its original architectural features but also offers wi-fi, computer work-stations, state-of-the art audio-visual facilities and comfortable spaces for meetings, concerts, private study and recreation.
Reid Hall is now an international teaching, conference and research centre. Kent at Paris postgraduates share its facilities with staff and students from Columbia University, Barnard College, University of Florida and other prestigious academic institutions.
