Welcome to the Language Centre!
"Welcome to the Language Centre at the University of Kent. We're delighted that you've chosen to join us and look forward to welcoming you this September.
Whether you're studying a modern language or linguistics, you'll be joining a supportive and internationally minded community where you'll explore how language shapes the way we communicate, think and connect with others.
Our expert staff will encourage you to develop your knowledge, confidence and intercultural understanding, equipping you with valuable skills that will benefit you throughout your studies and future career.
Starting university is an exciting new chapter, and we encourage you to embrace every opportunity that comes your way. Practise your language skills, engage with new ideas, connect with fellow students from across the world and immerse yourself in the vibrant community at Kent. We wish you a wonderful summer and can't wait to welcome you to the Language Centre as you begin your journey with us."
- Wissia Fiorucci, Director of the Language Centre
Help with your Welcome Week timetable
How do I view my Welcome Week timetable?
At the top of this page, select your course. There are two timetable links to choose from: one shows all Welcome events, including your compulsory School events, and the other shows only your compulsory School events.
You can also change this view directly on the calendar by selecting or deselecting the Compulsory category.
Which Welcome Week events do I need to attend?
You should attend your compulsory School events, as these will help you prepare for the start of your studies. We also recommend attending any general Welcome events that interest you, as they're a great opportunity to meet other students and settle into life at Kent.
In particular, the Students' Union Welcome Fairs are a great way to learn about societies, groups and sports teams.
Joint honours students
If you are joining us on a Joint Honours course, we recommend prioritising Welcome activities for the first subject listed in your degree title. If your timetable has gaps, you can then explore and attend Welcome events for your second subject. This will help you make the most of your Welcome Week while getting to know both of your subject areas.
How do I view my teaching timetable?
Your teaching timetable starts from Week 1 (5 October) onwards and is available on KentVision, the My Kent website and via the My Kent Student App.
