University of Kent

Flanked all round by beautiful English Garden Kent countryside, Canterbury’s a pant-droppingly gorgeous city, all medieval stonework and Olde Worlde architecture. The University of Kent however, is a 60s red brick affair, sat on a hillock in the middle of 300 acres of landscaped gardens which overlook the city and its celebrity cathedral ... more detail It’s split into three distinct faculties and also farms some departments out to University of Kent at Medway in Chatham. There’s not much difference in life at each faculty but the system does inspire some healthy rivalry and less healthy cliqueiness. Drama’s a particularly rated course and most humanities/ social sciences subjects offer a stab at learning a language and a year abroad  ... more on academic Although Canterbury’s far from Ibiza, club-wise ... more on entertainment, it does a fine line in pubbage and the Students’ Union cranks up the volume in its ‘Venue’ club as well as keeping the taps flowing in the four College bars and three larger boozeries ... more on the SU Just under half the students can be housed – first years are guaranteed – but the on-campus rents aren’t always as cosy as the rooms ... more on housing Great financial support for international students ... more on welfare
