Here are some highlights of the work we've done to enhance the Kent student experience in living and leisure.
Sports and fitness facilities
The sports facilities include an extensive air conditioned gym and physiotherapy clinic, fitness and dance class studios, sports halls and 3G and grass pitches.
Some recent additions include a completely new floor for the downstairs fitness suite, sound proofing to the physiotherapy clinic bays, repainting of the squash courts and refurbishment of the boxing training area. £4 million is currently being invested in the development of a new Indoor Tennis and Events Arena that will provide four indoor courts ready for use by September 2020.

Improving your accommodation
Over £120 million has been invested in recent years to provide new accommodation and carry out full refurbishment of our Canterbury campus accommodation. Between 2017-18 we refurbished 520 rooms in Park Wood to the highest standards.
Student Hub at Medway
The Medway Student Hub is a fantastic place to relax with friends or get on with work. The space is filled with social zones, study areas, and a student bar.
The converted old swimming pool hosts a range of student events, serves a good choice of food including home-made pizza and is the home of GK Unions.

Arts and culture
Regular theatre, music, comedy events plus film screenings at the Gulbenkian and the Colyer-Fergusson Hall, plus art exhibitions at Studio 3.

Free transport between Canterbury and Medway seven days a week
The Campus Shuttle service provides free transport between Canterbury and Medway during term-time. This service allows you to enjoy what both campuses and the region have to offer. The service runs at the weekend and has Wi-Fi and USB charging points on board.
Flex catering package
If you live on or off-campus, you can buy the Flex Catering Package. The package gives you an allowance of £10 a day to spend on food and drink at most places on campus. This will save you 50% on your food bill over the year.
