Facilities

The School of Economics welcomes students to its brand-new home in the Kennedy Building, the latest addition to teaching and research facilities at the University of Kent.

Our new building opened its doors to students and staff in September 2019. It provides modern facilities for teaching and research, making it easy for you to access and absorb new ideas. With places to relax, meeting rooms, a well-equipped IT suite and designated postgraduate study spaces, it is also the perfect setting for the friendly community within our School.

Be inspired by excellence

Renowned economist Charles Kennedy was Kent’s first Professor of Economic Theory

The new building is located next to our beautiful campus woodlands and close to Kent Business School and the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science. This allows you to take advantage of our ‘hub of excellence’ across Kent’s financial and business subjects.
