All Students and recent graduates are welcome!

The festival is for University of Kent students in all years and courses at all campuses! This includes those who are part of KMMS (The Kent and Medway Medical School). 

Whether you are in year 1, 2, 3 or PG there is something for everyone. Explore career sectors that interest you, meet employers, say hello to your Careers and Employability team and discover opportunities to enhance your career prospects.
