At Kent, we believe that anyone with the academic ability to study at university should have the opportunity to do so. To encourage young people to embrace the value of higher education, we have established relationships with over 45 non-selective secondary schools and three further education colleges in Kent.
We find inviting students to our campus is a great way to familiarise them with university life and showcase our excellent facilities.

This visit builds on the Game of Student Life to introduce students to the University campus environment. Students explore the campus, meet students and build their core thinking skills, while working as a team to complete a challenge.
