Coronavirus updates for students
Our top priority is keeping you and our community safe while still providing the highest quality teaching and student experience.
These pages contain detailed information to support students with our response to the ongoing coronavirus situation including what this means for studying at Kent or staying on one of our campuses.
Whilst the majority of measures taken to restrict the spread of Covid-19 are now being relaxed according to the latest Government guidance, the virus is still with us and we all have a continued part to play in keeping our community safe, both on and off campus.
