Part time and short courses

Part-time and short courses

We offer a variety of part-time degrees, professional development opportunities, short courses and summer schools.

Part-time degree level study

Part-time study allows you to achieve the same academic qualifications as on a full-time programme over a longer period of time. You can search for part-time undergraduate and part-time postgraduate programmes.

There are more opportunities to explore whether you wish to study for personal interest or as your first step towards a degree.

Whta's on offer

International students

At University of Kent International College, students are given the support and encouragement to build a firm foundation for future success in a diverse range of degree programmes. Students can choose to study from two undergraduate pathways: International Foundation Programme or International Year Zero. We also offer a postgraduate International Incorporated Master's.

The International Foundation Programme

The IFP prepares you for academic study at undergraduate degree level, while pre-sessional and language preparation courses are designed to prepare you for your study at Kent.

International Year Zero

The International Year Zero (IYZ) is the first year of an integrated 4-year programme.

International Incorporated Master's

The International Incorporated Master's is offered over one or two terms.

Short-term exchange programmes

Short-term study means that international students can study at Kent for one, two or three terms rather than for a full degree.
