Undergraduate Applicant Event information

Had an offer from us? Congratulations!

If you've applied to join us in September 2024, you're invited to an Applicant Event. Read on!

Why should I come to an Applicant Event?

Our Applicants Events are a great way to find out more about your course, get to know the campus better, spend time with your department, quiz our professors about the different aspects of your course and get to know other applicants or, as we like to put it, meet the friends you haven't made yet!  By the time you go home, you'll know you're making the right decision when you make Kent your firm choice on UCAS.
