50TH ANNIVERSARY

The University of Kent is one of the UK’s leading academic institutions, with a commitment to excellence in teaching and research that has spanned five decades.

Established in 1965, we are now a top 20 university and known as the UK’s European university. We have grown from 500 to 20,000 students, representing 149 nationalities, from one college to six, and from a single location to established sites throughout Europe. We foster a community in which we value global citizenship, ethical thinking, and the development and application of new knowledge.

Our 50th anniversary year celebrated our heritage and our achievements, and laid the foundations for a lasting legacy. Innovative student-led projects, initiatives in our curriculum, research of global significance and exciting campus developments continue to shape the future of the University – an inspiration to our community of students, staff and alumni for years to come. www.kent.ac.uk 5

WORLD-LEADING RESEARCH Kent is a leading UK university. In the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, Kent was ranked 17th* for research output and research intensity, in the Times Higher Education, outperforming 11 of the 24 Russell Group universities.

Our academic schools and centres produce world-leading research and our outstanding performance in the REF led to Kent receiving the fifth highest increase in research funding in the UK from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).

With programmes of study that are informed by research, our students are able to develop skills and knowledge relevant to contemporary issues. Our research activities and collaborations with outside organisations create knowledge that has demonstrable impact across a range of disciplines.

*of 122 universities not including specialist institutions. 8 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016

STRONG ACADEMIC COMMUNITY

A thriving intellectual community of students and staff is fundamental to Kent’s position as a leading research university. Our students benefit from a rich and stimulating, intellectually challenging community where postgraduates work alongside staff.

Academic schools hold regular events to provide a forum for students and staff to discuss their ongoing research activities, and schools also invite leaders in their field to give guest lectures. Postgraduate students are encouraged to take an active role in the academic community and develop their skills by presenting work at research seminars, participating in conferences and publishing papers. The Graduate School co-ordinates a range of activities to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and the development of research and transferable skills. www.kent.ac.uk 9 10 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016 www.kent.ac.uk 11

A GLOBAL OUTLOOK

Kent has an excellent international reputation and our academic schools are engaged in collaborative research with universities from around the world.

Many of Kent’s programmes have a strong international focus with some offering the opportunity to study for dual or joint awards with prestigious overseas partner institutions. Kent has exchange links with over 100 universities overseas, providing students with the opportunity for research and study abroad. Our global outlook is strengthened by our long-standing links with continental Europe. Known as ‘the UK’s European university’, we have specialist postgraduate centres in Brussels, Paris, Athens and Rome (see p244-249).

The global range of the University’s activities helps to attract students from overseas. Last year, over half of our postgraduate students came from countries outside the UK. This contributes to the cosmopolitan atmosphere at Kent and provides the ideal environment for analysis of global issues. 12 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016

SUPERB LOCATIONS

The University of Kent has two UK campuses in south-east England, Canterbury and Medway, a study centre in Tonbridge and postgraduate centres in Athens, Brussels, Paris and Rome. All the facilities in all of our locations are available to all of our students.

CANTERBURY Set in 300 acres of parkland and overlooking the World Heritage Site of Canterbury Cathedral, our Canterbury campus is a friendly and vibrant environment with an excellent location that is less than an hour’s train journey from London. It is also close to continental Europe. Within walking distance of the city, the campus offers green and tranquil open spaces, first-class resources, lively cafés and bars, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere (see p238).

MEDWAY On the outskirts of London, our multimillion-pound Medway campus has high-tech facilities and innovative buildings, with part of the campus based at The Historic Dockyard, Chatham. First-class sports and social amenities and a cosmopolitan atmosphere all combine to create a great sense of community, with central London less than 20 minutes away by high-speed train (see p241).

TONBRIDGE The University of Kent’s study centre has its own facilities just five minutes’ walk from the railway station at Tonbridge. The centre provides flexible, high-quality teaching in a friendly and supportive environment to students of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds. It also focuses on supporting the continuing professional development needs of the business community in the region. Our students have access to all the resources on Kent’s campuses at Canterbury and Medway. www.kent.ac.uk 1515

ATHENS Kent offers its MA in Heritage Management in Athens. The programme is taught in the area of Eleusina, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The Master’s degree is a collaboration between the University of Kent and Athens University of Economics and Business (see p244).

BRUSSELS Kent is the only UK university to have a centre in the political capital of Europe. The Brussels School of International Studies offers a close-knit student community with excellent opportunities for networking, internships and professional advancement (see p245).

PARIS Our location in Paris allows students on a range of Master’s programmes in the humanities to capitalise on the history and heritage of the cultural centre of Europe. It provides modern study and support facilities within 18th-century buildings in a historic corner of Montparnasse, with easy access to all the cultural resources on offer (see p247).

ROME Canterbury and Rome have been linked since the Middle Ages by the pilgrimage route Via Francigena. Both the School of Arts and the School of European Culture and Languages (SECL) offer programmes with an opportunity to spend a term studying in Rome; the centre of classical antiquity and inspiration for some of the world’s greatest artists. Students have access to key sites, museums and artefacts within this historical city (see p248). 16 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2016

Our expertise in disciplines such as with excellent general research biochemistry, microbiology and biomedical laboratories, together with a range science allows us to exploit technology and develop of specialised research resources ground-breaking ideas in the fields of genetics, including facilities for growing microorganisms of all kinds, molecular biology, protein science and biophysics. extensive laboratories for animal In the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, an impressive 100% cell culture and monoclonal of our research was deemed to be of international quality and we were antibody production and an ranked 7th in the UK for research intensity. imaging suite providing high- resolution laser confocal and Our research revolves around understanding systems and processes electron microscopy. in the living cell. It has a strong molecular focus with leading-edge activities that are synergistic with one another and complementary to Additionally, the macromolecular the teaching provision. Fields of enquiry also encompass a range of analysis facility provides resources molecular processes from cell division, transcription and translation for protein and mass spectrometry, through to molecular motors, molecular diagnostics and the production CD and fluorescence of biotherapeutics and bioenergy. spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and HPLC and FPLC systems for all aspects of biochemical and microbiological research. Notably, the School has a new state-of-the-art Bruker Avance III four-channel 600 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a QCI cryoprobe. Our NMR spectrometer was upgraded to this status via an equipment research award from the Wellcome Trust.

The School runs FIREBio (Forum for Innovation, Research and Enterprise in Biosciences), which is a weekly informal meeting for staff, postdocs and postgraduates involving short presentations and discussions. Postgraduates can use the opportunity to present unpublished research findings and discuss them in a supportive environment. Admissions T: +44 (0)1227 827272 www.kent.ac.uk/pg 47
