University of Kent / Undergraduate Prospectus 2023
PARENTS AND CARERS As parents and carers, we know you want university to be some of the happiest years of your child’s life and a place that gives them the support they need to thrive, both academically and personally. You might have some concerns as your child gets ready for their new journey, but they are in safe hands at Kent. From support with essay writing to help with settling in, we’re here for them, however they need us.
Academic support Our Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS) helps with the transition to higher education by providing academic support with study skills, written assignments,
time management and more. Your child can access online resources or, if they’d like one-to-one support, they can arrange an appointment with one of our expert Study Advisers.
Safety on campus Whether they are going for an afternoon lecture, a night out with friends or an evening study session in the library, your child will spend a lot of time travelling around campus. Our Campus Security team are on duty and contactable 24/7, 365 days a year and our SafeZone app allows students to request assistance from their phone, from anywhere on campus. The team’s Walking Taxi Service is popular too and helps our students feel even safer as they move around.
