WHERE YOU'LL STUDY

The Canterbury campus of the University of Kent has six colleges and is self-contained with everything a student needs within walking distance. The Templeman Library caters to night owls and morning birds. It’s open 24/7 most study weeks and has hundreds of quiet study spaces, a lecture theater, a café, and an exhibition gallery. The Gulbenkian is the University of Kent’s Arts Center showing films, visiting speakers, and concerts, and the Gulbenkian Café showcases locally sourced, homemade food for a taste of English country fare. The Canterbury campus of the University of Kent is built on more than 300 acres of beautiful English parkland, overlooking the historic city of Canterbury. All buildings are set among green and tranquil open spaces covered with mature trees. The Medway campus is close to the towns of Rochester and Chatham and has two sites: Pembroke and The Historic Dockyard. Both are a quick 10-minute walk from each other, so it’s easy to make the most of both. A free shuttle service travels between the Canterbury and Medway campuses, and a bike warehouse in Medway offers student discounts on bicycles and cycle maintenance.
