It offers first-class study resources set among green and tranquil open spaces, as well as cafÊs, bars and entertainment venues, top-quality sports facilities and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Less than an hour’s train journey from London, it is also within easy reach of Paris, Brussels, Lille and the rest of Europe (see p187).

0(':$< Kent’s Medway campus provides state-of-the-art study facilities on the redeveloped historic dockyard at Chatham. The recently expanded campus has award-winning buildings, atmospheric cafÊs and its own pub, creating a lively social life and a great sense of community.

$7+(16 Kent’s teaching centre in Athens is in the suburb of Eleusina, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The University has a unique collaboration with the Athens University of Economics and Business, capitalising on the specialist teaching, research and expertise of both partners. The MA in Heritage Management is taught in these historic surroundings. The centre of Athens is only 30km away, and students have easy access to many other major historical sites including the Parthenon, Ancient Corinth, Nemea and Thebes.

%5866(/6 Kent is the only UK university to have a centre in the ‘capital of Europe’, where it offers postgraduate degrees in international studies. Brussels is home to the main institutions of the European Union, as well as organisations such as NATO, NGOs and think-tanks and staff from many of these institutions contribute to the teaching at our centre. Studying in Brussels offers opportunities to network, with many students securing internships and careers within prestigious organisations.

3$5,6 Kent’s centre in Paris offers postgraduate students the chance to study in the historic and cultural heart of Montparnasse. We offer programmes in the humanities which capitalise on the history and heritage of the cultural centre of Europe. As part of a thriving postgraduate community, students work with internationally respected academics and are able to enjoy all the opportunities that come with living and working in Paris.

520( Canterbury and Rome have been linked since the Middle Ages by the pilgrimage route Via Francigena. The University offers postgraduate degrees with the opportunity to study for a term in Rome in Ancient History, Roman History, and History & Philosophy of Art. These programmes benefit from being taught in the centre of classical antiquity and one of the most important artistic centres in the world. Students have access to key sites, museums and artefacts within this major historical city.

FLW\ WR PDLQODQG (XURSH LQ From its origins, and the establishment of the Church in Canterbury in 597, the city has long been a seat of learning and a location for the exchange and dissemination of knowledge. Canterbury was the starting point for the Via Francigena, the major pilgrimage route to Rome in the Middle Ages. This route passed through England, France, Switzerland and Italy via abbeys and monasteries – the centres of learning in medieval times. Through this route, the information superhighway of its time, knowledge was exchanged, and ideas and culture were communicated to the known world. Canterbury itself was a pilgrimage site and the destination of the well-known Pilgrims’ Way which linked Canterbury to London via Rochester.

Where the world meets Europe The University prides itself in the leading role it plays in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Since its establishment in Canterbury, it has extended its centres for learning throughout the county and Europe to include Rochester, Brussels, Paris, Rome and Athens, and has further

partnerships with over 100 prestigious universities throughout Europe and many more worldwide. As an established researchintensive university, Kent acts as a gateway to Europe for students from the UK and across the world. With 149 nationalities represented in our student body and 41% of our teaching and research staff from outside the UK, Kent celebrates intellectual and cultural diversity with a commitment to educate its students to be the global citizens of tomorrow. Our strong links with top-ranking mainland European institutions, our exchange partnerships with prestigious worldwide institutions, our UK locations close to the European mainland and postgraduate centres within Europe, reinforce Kent’s position as a progressive, dynamic and European university. Our proximity to airports, the Channel ports and the Eurostar terminals at Ashford and Ebbsfleet make it quick and easy to get to Paris, Brussels and Lille. As a result, we attract a high percentage of students from the European Union. In addition, our centres provide bases within continental Europe for specialist postgraduate study.

Study programmes As you would expect, given our strong links with Europe, Kent provides an impressive range of programmes with a European focus.

In addition, most academic subjects offer opportunities either to study or to work in Europe, which allows you to benefit from our long-standing partnerships with top-ranking European institutions, many of which are the number one university in their country. We are a key player in the Erasmus student exchange programme and have one of the highest percentages of students studying under the scheme of any multi-faculty UK university. We were also one of the first universities in the UK to receive the E-quality label for our European exchange programmes. Kent was also the first UK university to introduce the European Diploma Supplement, a document to ensure the mutual recognition of European degrees. We also use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) in all of our degrees. Some of our programmes offer dual UK and European qualifications enabling you to earn a degree from Kent as well as a degree from one of our partner universities.

European staff and students Your studies at Kent will give you a truly European experience. On our campuses in the UK, you can mix with students from every EU country; around 11% of our students are from the EU. In addition, a high proportion of our teaching staff are from the European mainland. The

www.kent.ac.uk

University community cultivates global citizenship; students and staff that are prepared to be engaged and responsible citizens of a global society, with an understanding of various cultures, attitudes and approaches.

The University plays a leading role in the European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus and Erasmus+ programmes, which facilitates scholarships and academic co-operation between Europe and the rest of the world.

Kent Union runs many student societies that have a European focus. These currently include the Erasmus, Francophone, German, Hellenic, Italian and Hispanic Societies.

In 2010 and 2011, Kent was granted funding under the highly competitive Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral scheme. In addition, Kent is the only university in the UK to be involved in the Erasmus Mundus Lotus project, linking nine universities from the EU and 11 from Southeast Asia. We are also a member of the SGroup, a network of European universities with the aim of establishing special academic, cultural and socio-economic ties between institutions.

European partnerships Kent collaborates with other European universities in producing innovative research funded by the EU, including projects within the Framework Programme and Horizon 2020.

Career benefits Studying at the UK’s European university can provide you with many opportunities to develop your language skills as well as broaden your understanding of European life in areas such as culture, economics, law or politics. This knowledge can assist you in your future career, whether you gain these skills through taking a year abroad, or through your studies and extra-curricular activities in the UK. Taking the opportunity to study in Europe for a term or a year, can help you to develop a truly global perspective and provide you with invaluable intercultural opportunities and experiences.

Libraries Our libraries provide easy access to academic material and the latest research. As well as holding over 1.3 million books, journals and multimedia, there is a vast range of e-books and e-resources. Kent’s expert librarians can help you to make the most of these to find the information you need.

The Templeman Library at Canterbury has recently undergone major expansion and refurbishment. There are zoned study areas for silent, quiet or group working, PCs to use and laptops to borrow plus a cafĂŠ for those much needed study breaks. We also house collections and archives of specialised material (see p194). At Medway, the Drill Hall Library offers first-class facilities in a Grade II listed building. As well as books, journals and other essential resources, there are study spaces with PCs and multimedia equipment, zoned study areas and a cafĂŠ with techno booths for group work (see p205). At whichever campus you are based, you can gain easy access to the resources available at other Kent sites.

IT services We provide full IT services to assist your studies, and training and support to help you make the most of the facilities on offer. As you would expect, there are hundreds of open-access PCs across the Canterbury and Medway campuses, and both campuses are fully Wi-Fi-enabled. You can also study from off campus, with full access to the network and its resources.

Academic facilities The Canterbury campus has extensive science laboratories where students can make use of the latest high-tech equipment to develop their practical and research skills. The School of Physical Sciences includes four state-of-the-art laboratories, a forensic analytical laboratory and extensive IT facilities. The School of Architecture has design studios, workshops and a computer laboratory providing an excellent learning environment.

The Jennison building, which houses the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, has been completely renovated to provide new and improved laboratory and teaching facilities. The purpose-built Jarman building on the Canterbury campus includes drama studios, a film studio and computing and editing suites as well as its own dedicated exhibition space, Studio 3 Gallery. The Gallery programmes a series of both professionally and studentcurated exhibitions showcasing prominent British and international artists. The University’s Kent Print Collection is also housed in the Jarman building; examples of these works are on permanent display in the building and are also frequently drawn upon for our temporary exhibitions. There is also a new 62-seat cinema, the Lupino, with digital projection and sound, which provides an intimate atmosphere for film viewing. At Medway, the fully equipped Galvanising Shop on The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, houses a dedicated design, production and presentation facility for students on the Event and Experience Design programme. It is an adaptable space and is also used as a music performance space, for film screenings and as a gallery for exhibiting work. As part of the redevelopment of the School of Music and Fine Art on The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, the University has refurbished and recently opened a number of key buildings near

to the Galvanising Shop. The Smitheries house fine art studios; there are state-of-the-art music and audio facilities including a spatial audio studio, Foley studio, rehearsal and performance spaces, a flagship recording studio and the newly renovated Boiler House Workshop. Students studying in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the Medway campus benefit from state-of-the-art equipment, laboratories and specialist sports clinics at Medway Park. All of the facilities at our European centres are available to all of our students. While these centres may focus on postgraduate study, our undergraduate programmes make use of the locations for study visits and we run a series of summer schools to reward undergraduate students from Kent.

Sports facilities Kent Sport is committed to encouraging people to be more active, more often. We provide excellent sports facilities and a wide range of opportunities for you to get involved and enhance your university experience through sport, fitness and wellbeing. At Canterbury, Kent’s first-rate sports facilities include: three multi-purpose halls; fitness and dance class studios; a first-class fitness suite featuring general fitness, rehabilitation and highperformance training zones; a physiotherapy clinic; squash courts; and a climbing wall.

At Medway, students have access to a wide range of facilities including those at Medway Park. The University contributed ÂŁ3 million to the development of this regional centre of sporting excellence (which caters for a range of sports including a fully equipped gym, a full programme of fitness classes, athletics, judo, swimming, trampolining and racquet sports (see p203).

Social scene The Venue, on the Canterbury campus, is a nightclub run by Kent Union, which plays host to some of the UK’s biggest acts. This is the perfect space for student and local bands to perform, providing entertainment four nights a week (see p193). For good food, there are many stylish restaurants, cafÊs and bars on the Canterbury campus. The Gulbenkian is the University of Kent’s innovative arts centre featuring a 340-seat theatre, 300-seat cinema and cafÊ/cabaret space. Performances include stand-up comedy, theatre, dance and music with particular emphasis on young contemporary work.

Also at Canterbury is the ColyerFergusson Building, a centre for music performance, with a concert hall and a suite of practise rooms, which hosts a wide range of music-making activities.

GK Unions also offer a wide range of special events, ranging from CoopersFest to society events and themed nights (see p203). There is also a dedicated Events Team, made up of current students, that promotes activities and events. They capture student ideas for future events and ensure the Medway student experience is dynamic with something for everyone.

At the Medway campus, Cargo, our brand new bar and bistro at Liberty Quays, offers traditional dishes with a modern twist for both lunch and dinner. The No1 Bistro in the Rochester Building, the Venue CafÊ in the Pilkington Building, the Archibald Hay Mess CafÊ in the Drill Hall Library and the new Clocktower cafÊ at The Clocktower Building on The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, all offer great food.

Inspirational teaching In the 2014 National Student Survey, Kent was awarded a score of 89% for the quality of our teaching. We also received the third highest score nationally for overall student satisfaction. Our staff work in departments containing world-leading research – 97% of our research is regarded as being of international quality – which means that you are taught by experts in the field.

Strong academic community We offer an inspiring student experience where you are encouraged to make the most of the academic community at Kent. There are many open lectures and readings that all students are welcome to attend; the quality of the University’s research means that we attract a high calibre of guest lecturers. There are also regular exhibitions and festivals, featuring work by

staff, guests and fellow students, which encourage cross-disciplinary discussion.

Follow your interests To make it easy to find the right course, we offer a wide range of honours degrees, both single and joint honours – over 400 in total. Within each programme, you are able to choose from a variety of modules; this allows you to broaden your experience by studying topics outside your main subject area. You can choose to specialise in the later stages of your course, tailoring it to your particular interests. You can also acquire new skills by learning a language, working in industry, developing IT skills, or taking optional business modules to develop your entrepreneurial skills. There are opportunities to work or study abroad at our partner institutions or to use the facilities at any of our European locations for study visits. You could also take part in one of the summer schools that are held in our European centres.

Joint honours There are advantages to studying a joint honours degree; it demonstrates that you have broad academic interests as well as excellent organisational and time management skills. As a joint honours student you gain a firm foundation in each subject area through your compulsory modules and your optional modules allow you to cover additional areas of interest.

Most of our joint honours programmes combine two complementary subjects, such as history and politics or drama and film, and many offer the opportunity to study abroad or spend a year on placement or in industry. Details of all the programmes, including entry requirements can be found in the Quick Reference Guide (p221).

Broaden your skills The University offers many ways for you to gain transferable skills, which will serve you well in your future career. You can take additional modules that focus on specific areas of interest to add value to your degree programme.

Business and Entrepreneurship Kent offers an optional package of study to students on nonbusiness programmes, which enables you to develop a commercial and entrepreneurial mindset to improve your career prospects. The Business and Entrepreneurship pathway consists of two modules per year of study with lectures, seminars and workshops held in the evenings. Modules include: Accounting; Entrepreneurship and e-Commerce; Financial Reporting and Analysis; Management; Marketing; Organisational Structures; Operations Management; and Strategy. Each module relates the subject area specifically to the needs of non-business students. &217,18(' 29(5/($)

The pathway builds professional and transferable skills and improves your ability to perform competitively in both the job market and as entrepreneurs.

Kent’s Q-Step Centre Kent has been selected to be one of just 15 prestigious Q-Step Centres in the UK, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Nuffield Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The Q-Step initiative provides students with advanced training in quantitative methods in social sciences. The Centre’s core team is based in the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research and additionally incorporates programmes in politics and international relations, law, business and liberal arts. At the heart of the Centre is the delivery of quantitative skills training in a subject context. These skills, which greatly enhance your employability, are developed in a practical and engaging manner. There are three pathways: bronze, silver and gold. The gold pathway leads to the award of the BSc Statistical Social Research degree (see p156). Bronze pathway On the bronze pathway, you reach a critical statistical literacy that allows you to generate, critique and explain quantitative analyses in real-world settings. This is delivered via customised ‘methods courses’, and the integration of quantitative skills into selected modules.

Silver pathway The silver pathway leads to a ‘Minor in Quantitative Social Science’ within your degree. In addition to the modules taken on the Bronze pathway, you attend a summer school at the end of Stage 1 and take a series of modules to gain knowledge and experience of applying quantitative methods, through a quantitative-focused dissertation and placements. For further information see www.kent.ac.uk/qstep

Kent Extra Kent Extra courses and workshops are non-credit bearing and give you an opportunity to learn something different from your main area of study, build key transferable and employment skills and enhance your CV. There are no extra fees for these courses. Any Kent Extra course you attend will appear on your

Higher Education Achievement Report and you will be eligible for Employability points. For details, see www.kent.ac.uk/extra

Support for your study We provide a high level of study support and advice and our students consistently praise the level of access they have to academic staff. You are assigned an academic adviser who can discuss progress, give academic advice, and be a first point of contact if you have problems with your work. Seminar leaders can also give guidance on how your studies are progressing. Students can have personal oneto-one sessions with the Royal Literary Fellows who can offer advice and guidance on academic writing skills. Further support is also available from the Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS), see p194 and p205).

The University’s reputation for research was confirmed by the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF), an independent survey of UK universities that rates the research, the impact that it has, and the general research environment. Our REF results have led to excellent rankings for Kent in the Times Higher Education tables – we are rated 17th in the UK*, outperforming 11 of the 24 Russell Group universities. The tables are based on research intensity, which takes into account the proportion of academic staff assessed as well as the quality of the research. An impressive 85% of Kent’s research staff submitted to the REF – the13th highest percentage in the UK, and 97% of our research was judged to be of international quality. Many of our subjects are ranked in the top 10 for research intensity – architecture, biological sciences, English language and literature, history, law, pharmacy, and social work and social policy. In rankings for research impact, physics is 7th, demonstrating its *out of 122 multi-faculty universities

Kent is part of the South East Doctoral Training Centre, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), in partnership with the universities of Reading, Royal Holloway and Surrey. This places our social scientists at the centre of inter-institutional research.

For research intensity, other successes include anthropology, computer science, philosophy, psychology, and sport and exercise sciences – all in the top 20, while business and management is 25th of over 100 institutions. Politics and international studies is in the top 20 for research impact; music and drama is in the top 20 for research quality.

The Eastern Academic Research Consortium, a partnership of Kent and the universities of Essex and East Anglia, creates an environment in which collaborative research can flourish. In addition, Kent is part of the Consortium of the Humanities and the Arts South-East England (CHASE) which includes: The Courtauld Institute of Art; Goldsmiths, SOAS and Birkbeck (University of London); The Open University; and the universities of East Anglia, Essex, and Sussex.

$W ZKLFKHYHU RI RXU ORFDWLRQV \RX FKRRVH WR VWXG\ \RX ZLOO ILQG D VXSSRUWLYH DQG ZHOFRPLQJ HQYLURQPHQW We believe that any student with the academic ability to study at Kent should have the opportunity to do so. This means that we have a richly diverse student population, from 18-year-old school leavers to those returning to formal education after a break. We also have a cosmopolitan atmosphere, with students from countries around the world. At Kent, we strive to ensure that every student can make the most of their time here, both academically and socially.

Welcome Week We organise a Welcome Week for all new students, where student volunteers help you to settle in to your new life. You are invited to go on guided tours of the campus and surrounding area, to attend themed evenings and take part in social and sports activities. Your academic school also hosts events to ensure that the start of your academic life goes smoothly. You meet your tutors, who discuss what is expected of you and give you general academic advice. Handbooks are available online, explaining the structure of your degree and what you need to do at each stage.

Students’ unions The students’ unions at Kent (Kent Union at Canterbury, and the Greenwich and Kent Students’ Unions Together at Medway) are run by students, for students. The unions ensure your voice is heard, support student activities, provide job opportunities and free advice, and run outlets to help you get the most out of your time at university (see p192 and p203).

Personal support All students at Kent have access to a wide range of personal support services. These include: the Medical Centre on the Canterbury campus; the Wellbeing Team; Student Support with a team of tutors and support assistants; a multi-faith and ecumenical Chaplaincy team; and day nurseries. Although a safe environment, we take security seriously and have in-house security officers, campus patrols and CCTV.

Kent’s colleges Kent is one of only a handful of UK universities to have a collegiate system; all students are assigned to a college. Each college has a Master, who is responsible for student welfare and who you can consult in confidence about any problems. The colleges provide accommodation but, whether you live there or not, they offer you a ready-made community from the moment you arrive. Many of the colleges have their own distinctive

bars and cafĂŠs, hosting regular events from pub quizzes to evenings with resident DJs. The many social activities allow you to meet academics and students from different subjects. Each college also has a Student Committee that contributes to the way that the college is run, representing student interests and organising events.

International students Kent is a favourite destination for international students, thanks to our global academic reputation, cosmopolitan environment, career development opportunities and superb student support. If you are a student from overseas, our International Development team can give you dedicated support throughout your studies. They will even meet you at the airport during arrivals weekend. You can also enjoy special events during Welcome Week, including visits to local attractions and a formal dinner where you can meet other international students. To create a supportive student network, Kent has set up emails groups and an international student ‘buddy scheme’ which allows you to contact other students from your home country. Academic support includes the Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS), as well as English language and foundation courses. These are taught by our own staff, allowing us to offer teaching of an exceptional quality (see p182).

Building on Kent’s success as the region’s leading institution for student employability, we offer many opportunities to gain worthwhile experience and develop the specific skills and aptitudes that employers value.

Careers and Employability Service You can make use of the Careers and Employability Service (CES) at any point in your studies. The Service not only provides information and advice on career options, but can also help you to develop transferable skills, gain relevant work experience and put you in touch with Kent graduates through KEW-NET, an online mentoring and networking tool that can give you first-hand insight into graduate careers and jobs. The CES also offers practical advice on targeted job-seeking skills including writing a CV and covering letter, interview techniques and aptitude tests. All students are offered the

opportunity to develop these skills, and to earn a Careers Employability Award, through the University’s Moodle virtual learning environment. For further details about the service, see p176 or visit our website www.kent.ac.uk/ces

Work placements Many of our programmes offer the possibility of a year in industry, normally taken after your second year of study. You earn a salary and gain practical experience that can be put to good use in your final year of study. This allows you to see directly how theories you are learning can work in practice, gives you hands-on experience of the working environment and helps you forge your own links in your chosen field of work. It also provides commercial awareness, an invaluable asset for many employers (see p174).

International opportunities The majority of our degrees offer the opportunity to spend a term or year studying or working abroad. Going abroad as part of a Kent degree is an amazing opportunity and many of our students describe the time they have spent overseas as one of the most exciting and formative periods of their lives. The fact that you’ve spent time abroad can be a distinct advantage when looking for a job as you are likely to have developed many skills and attributes that will enhance your employability. Should you choose to study abroad, it is not always essential to be able to speak another language as many of our partner institutions teach in English and offer language support on arrival. However, at Kent, we provide the

opportunity to learn a language before you go. From China, Hong Kong and Thailand to the US, Latin America and Europe, we offer a range of opportunities and will support you every step of the way. For more details on our ‘go abroad’ opportunities, please see p171 or www.kent.ac.uk/goabroad

University employment schemes The University and the students’ unions employ approximately 2,000 students each year. Students who have employment experience prior to graduation, find that this greatly enhances their employability.

Student Ambassador Scheme Kent’s Student Ambassador Scheme employs undergraduate and postgraduate students to represent the University at oncampus events as well as in local schools, colleges and the community.

The central aim of the Scheme is to encourage learners to consider progression to higher education. Student Ambassadors are central to these activities, providing a role model to learners and a unique perspective, which can engage and inspire. Student Ambassadors develop skills in preparation for future employment, build confidence and encourage personal development, while greatly enhancing their student experience. Opportunities may be paid, voluntary or attract academic credit which can count towards University qualifications.

Work-Study Scheme This Scheme gives students the opportunity to participate in an employability programme which provides meaningful, paid work experience that can help maximise their success in seeking employment upon graduation. There are a wide variety of positions within professional departments and academic

schools at the University that can be, and regularly are, filled by students.

Volunteering Volunteering allows you to develop skills that can increase your employability. Kent Union provides a service to help and support student volunteers. The Kent Student Certificate for Volunteering (KSCV) is a joint award from Kent Union and the University that recognises your volunteering achievements (see p176).

Transferable skills Employers seek out graduates who have developed transferable skills and capabilities. Whether you help to run a student society, work as a student ambassador or representative, or volunteer in the local community, at Kent you can gain valuable experience and earn credits towards your degree (see p176). Evaluating and analysing data is an essential skill. The Kent Q-Step

Centre gives you the opportunity to take quantitative methods modules as part of your degree, which helps ensure you have the statistical skills demanded by many employers (see p24). Through Kent Extra, you can broaden your horizons and build skills that will enhance your CV. These additional and complementary learning opportunities allow you to gain extra value from your time at Kent. (see p24). By taking the optional Business and Entrepreneurship modules, you can develop professional and transferable skills such as teamworking, conflict resolution, presenting and leadership. These skills are regarded highly by many employers and by having them, you can greatly improve your career prospects. Working or volunteering can help you to develop your subject skills: working in the Kent Law Clinic, which provides free legal advice; or acting as a consultant with the Kent IT Clinic, which provides IT services for enterprises in the local area; or by providing expertise at the clinics within the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, you will enhance your employability skills as well as your academic knowledge. The University also runs the nationally recognised Employability Points Scheme. Students are rewarded for participating in extracurricular activities (eg volunteering,

work placements, mentoring, society/club membership, course representative) which develop their employability skills. Over 2,300 students and 111 companies are engaged with the Scheme and it has been nationally recognised by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) as an example of best practice within business-university collaboration. Kent Union has a toolkit which helps you to build your CV, and provides you with a transcript of all the skills you have gained through your paid work, training and volunteering. You can use this to help shape job applications and your CV. In addition, Jobshop, a service provided by Kent Union, can help you find part-time and temporary paid work. This helps you to develop skills and explore different areas of employment, prior to graduation, as well as providing valuable income while you study (see p175).

Student enterprise Building on our students’ growing enterprise culture and activities, Kent can help you to develop enterprise skills and business ideas. If you are interested in starting up your own business, Kent Business School runs enterprise modules that you may be able to take, regardless of your degree subject (see p177). In addition, Kent Enterprise Hub offers help and advice if you are thinking about starting your own company or becoming selfemployed.

International students – working in the UK after your studies The Student Centre has the latest information on working in the UK after you complete your studies. For more information see www.kentunion.co.uk/welfare/ advice-centre/internationalstudents-and-visas

PHILOSOPHY Philosophy means ‘love of wisdom’. As an academic discipline, it tries to answer fundamental questions concerning the nature of knowledge and existence, and how we ought to live. As a student of Philosophy at Kent, you do not so much learn about philosophy as learn to do it yourself. This includes not only studying major philosophies and philosophers, but also contributing your own ideas to an ongoing dialogue. You develop the ability to connect the most abstract ideas to the most concrete things in our experience. Philosophy at Kent is a top-rated teaching department that was awarded the maximum score in its most recent teaching assessment. We have a thriving research culture with internationally recognised experts, and interests range from philosophers such as Kant and Wittgenstein to topics such as philosophy of mind, ethics, aesthetics, logic, political philosophy, metaphysics, medicine and artificial intelligence.

Independent rankings NSS 2014: Philosophy at Kent was ranked 4th in the UK for student satisfaction, with 98% of students satisfied with the quality of their course. Philosophy was ranked 12th for graduate employment in The Guardian University Guide 2015.

A year abroad It is possible to spend a year abroad studying philosophy between Stages 2 and 3. This is an excellent opportunity to broaden your studies by living and taking classes at one of our partner institutions either in Europe or further afield. See www.kent.ac.uk/secl/philosophy/ undergraduate

What you study Stage 1 You take four compulsory modules: two introductory philosophy modules on ethics and knowledge and metaphysics, and two further modules on philosophical reading, writing and thinking.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS (CONT)

FINANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International students

Students from outside the European Union (EU) are classed as overseas or international students unless you meet one of the following two criteria: 1 You have been resident within the UK for three years prior to the start of your programme, providing that your residence has not been for the main purpose of receiving full-time education 2 By 1 September of your year of entry, you can be considered ‘settled’ in the UK. This means that you hold a UK passport or Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Undergraduate degrees Non-laboratory courses £12,890 Laboratory-based or practical courses £15,380

Tuition fees You can find information on early-bird discounts and payment through instalments as well as information on how to pay at www.kent.ac.uk/finance-student/ fees

EU students The main academic cost is tuition fees of £9,000 per year of study, which covers the cost of teaching and academic support services. Eligibility for EU fee status depends on nationality and residency. If you qualify for EU fee status, you may be eligible for a student loan (see p215).

Annual tuition fees for full-time international students from outside the EU for 2015/16 are as follows:

Foundation year programmes Sciences foundation year and International Foundation Programme £12,050 Study abroad – short-term and diploma courses Junior Year Abroad £12,050 Fall Semester £4,820 (three months) Spring Semester £7,230 (five months) JYA English PLUS full length £13,050 JYA English PLUS part length £9,500 Fees for the academic year 2016/17 will be available by spring 2016. See www.kent.ac.uk/ finance-student/fees for details.

Funding and scholarships University funding All full-time students can apply for University scholarships based on academic, music and sporting ability. The scholarships range from £500 to £5,000 per year. See p216 for further information. Full-time EU or international students are eligible for University academic scholarships, alongside students from the UK (see p216).

The University also offers various additional sources of financial support to help students from outside the EU, including international scholarships. You can find further details at www.kent.ac.uk/scholarships/ undergraduate/international In addition to these sources of income, individual departments at the University offer specific scholarships. For details of these scholarships, please see the school pages of the website. We also offer a loyalty discount scheme for students whose family members have also studied at Kent. See p216 for further details of general University funding.

Government funding Currently, students from within the EU can apply for a UK government loan to cover the cost of tuition fees, subject to eligibility. This is paid back after graduation at a certain salary level. See www.gov.uk/studentfinance Students from countries outside the EU may be able to apply to their own government for funding.

Living costs Living costs vary greatly between individuals, see our website www.kent.ac.uk/finance-student for more details, where you will also be able to use our online living costs calculator on www.kent.ac.uk/finance-student/ livingcosts.html

Selection is likely to be by means of an interview, a group discussion and a short written test. We welcome interested applicants who may not have considered studying law at university level but who demonstrate enthusiasm for, and commitment to, learning as well as the necessary aptitude.

The information contained within this prospectus is correct at the time of going to press. The University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and other services in accordance with the descriptions set out in this prospectus. However, the University does not provide education on a commercial basis. It is also largely dependent on charitable and public funds which the University has to manage in a way which is efficient and cost effective in the context of the provision of a wide range of courses and services to a large number of students. The University therefore reserves the right to make variations to the contents and method of delivery of courses and other services,

259

to discontinue courses and other services and to merge or combine courses, if such action is reasonably considered to be necessary by the University. If the University discontinues any course, it will use its best endeavours to provide a suitable alternative course. All students will be required, as a condition of enrolment, to agree to abide by and to submit to the procedures of the University’s Regulations as amended from time to time. A copy of the current Regulations is available online at www.kent.ac.uk/ regulations

$SSHDOV DQG FRPSODLQWV Appeals will only be considered where the applicant believes there has been a failure in the admissions procedure or if the applicant believes that they have been discriminated against unlawfully. Complaints concerning the process should be made in writing to the Head of the Recruitment & Admissions Office, unless the complaint is regarding the Head of the Office, in which case the written complaint should be directed to the Director of Enrolment Management Services or the Academic Registrar. A complaint made by email will be accorded the same level of thorough consideration and will be addressed within the same timescale as any other written complaint, normally within 28 days of receipt.

'DWD SURWHFWLRQ Due to the requirements of the Data Protection Act and the University’s policy on disclosure, the University will only correspond on any issue regarding an application with the applicant themselves, unless the applicant has provided written permission for the University to discuss it with another person.

&RQVHQW WR SURFHVV For the University to operate efficiently, it needs to process information about you for administrative, academic and health and safety reasons. Any offer this institution makes to you is subject to your consent to process such information and is therefore a requirement before we can register you as a student.
