Get to Kent with the help of our Access Kent Travel Bursary.

Open Days are a chance to explore our campus, meet current students and academics, and discover why the University of Kent may be right for you. 

We know that travel costs can add up, so the Access Kent Travel Bursary offers eligible students a contribution towards the cost of travelling to the University for our 14 November Open Day.

Our Access Kent Travel Bursary offers either £25 or £50 towards the cost of travelling to our Open Day, depending on your home postcode.
