Igniting the Spark: Inspiring Future Students

Monday 30 June 2025
10:00 - 16:00
Sibson Building, Canterbury campus

At Kent, ambition doesn't have to follow one path. We believe that university should be available to anyone with the drive and determination to succeed. As teachers, advisers and higher education providers, we have a shared purpose to inspire and support students to find and shape their place in the world.

That's why we have designed our Teachers' and Advisers' Conference. A space for you to explore the latest developments in higher education, gain fresh insights into university admissions and connect with fellow professionals who are just as passionate about student success as you are.
