We can't wait to welcome you to campus in September!
Welcome Week is a week full of events before teaching starts to help you meet other students, get to know your course leaders and get settled into student life.
Check back here for the Welcome Week timetables for new students in the School of Computing.
I'm pleased to welcome you to the School of Computing at the University of Kent – your academic home for the next few years. Our school has developed a reputation for being a welcoming environment where students from all backgrounds can flourish, so I'm delighted that you've chosen to join our friendly and inclusive community.
As Head of School, my role encompasses the overall management and strategic direction of our academic community. I work to ensure that our school continues to perform well in teaching, research, and all our academic activities. But my involvement goes beyond administration – I remain actively engaged in teaching, delivering our Foundations of Computing module to first-year students and the Computing in the Classroom module to our final-year undergraduates. This hands-on approach keeps me connected to what matters most: your learning experience.
I look forward to meeting you in person and seeing you develop during your time with us. Welcome to the University of Kent – your future in computing begins here.
Janet Carter - Head of School for the School of Computing
If you haven’t programmed before, learn a bit of programming. We do not assume any previous knowledge of programming, but it may give you a head-start.
Most important: don't just read or listen lots about programming... actually do it!
