We offer regular volunteering opportunities for students, such as our International Family Arts Festival, BOing, and the Medway Rapture Gaming & Creative Festival, where students can earn Employability points for taking part.
Making Music
The University of Kent has a flourishing programme of music, and students from all subjects, together with staff and the local community, have the opportunity to get involved in a wide-range of extra-curricular music activities.
We are also looking for creative students from any academic background to be part of our Student-led committee.
