Find belonging beyond the campus

Historic charm or modern dockside energy

Two locations, one community

From an ancient historic city to a dockside creative hub, you’ll live where history, culture and student life meet. 

Two distinct vibes, one shared experience

At Kent, where you study shapes your days - but it’s not limited just to the campus. 

In Canterbury, you’ll live and learn on a 300-acre parkland campus, just a short walk from a world-famous historic city steeped in character, story and stunning architecture.

At Medway, your campus is part of a buzzing riverside community with our spaces based at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, and a shared campus partnership that brings extra energy, facilities and connections.

Wherever you’re based, you’ll find your people amongst Kent students and the wider community.
