Facilities

You can find The School of Economics in The Sibson Building which provides a light modern environment, for study and research.

Opened in 2017, Sibson's impressive design won the RIBA Regional and National Award. It houses well-equipped lecture and seminar spaces, as well as breakout spaces for group work, dedicated rooms for our MBA and postgraduate research students including the Bloomberg suite, computer labs, and our ASPIRE Lab Space. There is also a café on site.  

It was designed with the intention of making it easy for collaboration, for access and the absorption and exchange of new ideas.

The Optimal Environment

To study land, labour, capital, and entrepreneurship

Find us, in the Sibson Building along with The Kent Business School creating a ‘hub of excellence’ across Kent’s financial and business subjects.   

Our state of the art computer suites are ideal for getting to grips with introductions to applied econometrics methods using statistical software packages such as R or Stata, all necessary in an era of 'Big Data'. 

Our proximity to the University Sports Complex, Parkwood accoodation and Woodlands creates a calm, leafy quater of the campus.
