Summer Schools
We offer a variety of summer schools at our locations across Kent and Europe covering a wide range of subjects.
You can study for interest, credit, professional training or as preparation for further learning. The summer schools are open to all unless otherwise specified.
Popular Open Lecture Series
The University also provides a wide range of popular Open Lectures. Our programme includes a variety of interesting speakers covering diverse subject matters.
Open Lectures are free to all and no booking is required.
Forensic Psychology
Forensic psychology is the study of the psychology of crime and behaviour. Over ten weeks join some of the UK's leading experts in forensic psychology and go beyond what you see on TV.
Forensic Psychology research at Kent and all forensic-related teaching operates through our newly established Centre of Research and Education in Forensic Psychology or CORE-FP as it is more informally known.
