University of Kent teaching ranked among best in UK

Teaching at the University of Kent has been ranked among the best in the UK by the Guardian 2012 University Guide.

The Guide, published on 17 May 2011, has ranked the University 23rd out 119 UK institutions for teaching excellence, a rise of four places from the previous year. The Guide also ranks one-third of Kent’s subjects in the top 12 nationally for teaching. Kent is also highly rated for student support and student satisfaction.

The news was welcomed by the University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Julia M Goodfellow, who said: ‘Kent’s position among the top universities in the UK is a reflection of the high quality of our academic provision and student support. This confirms the excellent student experience that the University offers.’

The Guardian 2012 University Guide covers full-time undergraduate courses at higher education institutions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and is aimed at those wanting to start university in September 2012.
