EnglishHow can I search for courses and apply at the University of Kent?
Updated
You can search the University of Kent's course catalogue directly from the kent.ac.uk homepage using the search box, which accepts a course name, subject, or UCAS code. From there, the site splits into Undergraduate and Postgraduate sections, each with its own "Search courses and apply" entry point. The homepage also links to a "View all courses" option if you prefer to browse rather than search by keyword.
Searching for courses
The homepage search tool is the fastest route. According to the site, you can search by:
- Course name
- Subject
- UCAS code
Results appear under a "View all results" link, and a separate "View all courses" option lets you browse the full catalogue. If you already know whether you want an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, going straight to the relevant section narrows the results before you start.
Undergraduate courses
The Undergraduate section is described as the place to "explore our undergraduate courses and discover the degree that's right for you," with a "Search courses and apply" link. This is the path for first-degree applicants, including those applying through UCAS.
Postgraduate courses
The Postgraduate section covers the next step in academic or professional study, again with a "Search courses and apply" link. Use this if you are looking at master's, doctoral, or other postgraduate programmes.
International students
There is a dedicated International section for students joining from outside the UK, pointing to an international students page. If you are an international applicant, start there alongside the course search, since entry requirements and fees can differ from the home-student route.
Applying
The site presents application as part of the same flow as course search — each section's link reads "Search courses and apply," so the application pathway sits alongside the course listings rather than in a separate area. For undergraduate study in the UK, applications normally go through UCAS, and the homepage search accepts a UCAS code, which fits that route.
The page also references Clearing: it states that if you apply for accommodation through Clearing and firmly accept your offer at Kent, your room is guaranteed on campus or at Pier Quays. That confirms Clearing is one of the application routes the site supports, though the homepage does not spell out the full step-by-step process for each route.
What you get if you apply — the "Your Kent Start" benefits
The homepage lists several benefits tied to joining, which are worth knowing before you decide:
| Benefit | Detail stated on the site |
|---|---|
| Financial support (home students) | £2,000 over your first two years — £1,000 in cash and £1,000 for campus food and drink |
| Scholarship (international students) | £5,000 scholarship |
| Internship | A guaranteed virtual internship, plus placements, study abroad, and employer projects |
| Gym membership | Free Kent Sport membership in your first year (gym, classes, facilities, clubs, social sport) |
| Accommodation | Guaranteed room on campus or at Pier Quays if you apply through Clearing and firmly accept your offer |
Open Days and next steps
The site promotes Open Days, including one on Saturday 10 October, 10am–3pm, with a booking link and a list of all Open Day dates. It also points to Welcome Week events for meeting student groups, sports teams, and societies. If you want to see the campus and courses in person before applying, booking an Open Day is the logical next step; if you are ready to apply, go to the Undergraduate or Postgraduate section and use "Search courses and apply."
