The Good University Guide ranks Kent among the best

The University of Kent has been ranked 35 out of 113 universities in the UK and top of the universities in Kent and Medway according to The Good University Guide 2009, published in The Independent.

University Vice-Chancellor Professor Julia Goodfellow said: 'I am very pleased with Kent's position in The Good University Guide which puts us in a similar position to some of the large civic universities in other parts of the UK. It is excellent news for the region emphasising our values of excellence, enterprise and engagement'.

The University of Kent was also voted the number one university in London and the south-east for student satisfaction and tenth in the UK overall in the most recent National Student Satisfaction survey.

Earlier this year, the University was awarded the prestigious Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for the work of its Kent Law Clinic and received the top award in two categories at the most recent Times Higher Education Awards. According to The Sunday Times in its 2007 University Guide, Kent 'can claim to be Britain's only international university'.

The Good University Guide 2009 offers comparisons between universities on a range of criteria, including value-for-money, academic quality and student satisfaction.
