Welcome to the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics!

Welcome to the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics at the University of Kent. We're delighted that you've chosen to join us and look forward to welcoming you this September. 

You'll be part of a supportive and ambitious community where you'll learn from expert academics, tackle real-world challenges, and develop the analytical, technical and creative skills that are in demand across a wide range of industries. Whether you're designing innovative engineering solutions, exploring the frontiers of physics or uncovering the mysteries of mathematics, you'll be encouraged to think critically, ask questions and push the boundaries of what's possible. 

Starting university is an exciting step, and we're here to support you every step of the way. Make the most of the opportunities ahead - get involved in projects, connect with your fellow students, and take advantage of the facilities, societies and experiences available to you both within the school and across the University. 

We wish you a fantastic summer and can't wait to welcome you to Kent as you begin this exciting new chapter. 

- Silvia Ramos Perez, Head of School for the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics.

Help with your Welcome Week timetable

How do I view my Welcome Week timetable?

At the top of this page, choose your level of study - Foundation year, Undergraduate, Master's/Postgraduate Taught or Postgraduate Research. Then 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. 

Have a question?

If you have any questions about your Welcome Week timetable, please get in touch with the Student Experience team StudentExperience@kent.ac.uk.
