University Of Canterbury Kent

The University is one of the country’s leading academic institutions producing world-class research, rated internationally excellent and leading the way in many fields of study. 



We are a forward-thinking research institution, committed to the transformative power of education and research and to the development and support of our students and staff.

Our self-contained Canterbury campus provides a welcoming environment and a close-knit student community. Campus life revolves around six colleges, the Templeman Library, the Gulbenkian arts centre and the Mandela Building (home of Kent Union) – all set among green and tranquil open spaces.

The city itself has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Explore medieval buildings, lively bars, atmospheric pubs and a wide range of shops just a 25-minute walk from campus. London is an hour away by high-speed train and we’re also the closest UK city to mainland Europe, so you can be in Paris, Brussels or Lille within two hours.
