To guarantee accommodation in your first year, you must apply for accommodation between mid January 2024 and 30 June 2024. Offers of accommodation are sent once all course conditions have been met and unconditional places have been confirmed.
Both Universities prioritise applications based on application date.
See below information for accommodation* at the University of Kent - Park Wood Houses and Park Wood Flats.
Our KMMS accommodation is self-catered. A meal plan can be purchased that gives you £14 a day (2024/25) to spend in catering outlets across the Canterbury campus.
We set aside designated accommodation in the above Park Wood options just for KMMS students who wish to return to live on campus and take advantage of our fantastic facilities for another year.
Some of the benefits of returning to live on campus include:
You can also apply to live at Christ Church University KMMS accommodation as well. Returning student accommodation applications open in mid-January and all KMMS student's currently living on campus will receive an email from the Accommodation Team before applications open with the information you will need to apply.
All accommodation options at the University of Kent include utilities (i.e. gas/water/electrics), internet access and £10,000 of personal possessions insurance. No bedding or utensils are included, but you will have a Premium Plus Sports Membership from Kent Sport!
Unfortunately there is no student car parking available. However most students purchase a heavily discounted student Unibus pass which allows for travel across the county. Please see the transport pages for further information.
For 2023/24 All KMMS students (living at either University) should plan to arrive from Saturday 16 September 2023. Find out more about arriving at Kent.
No, while we offer returning KMMS student accommodation you are free to choose from a wide range of private sector houses and flats, including purpose-built student accommodation, in Canterbury and the local area. Accommodation will be available while you are also on placements.
Get in contact with us in the Accommodation Office. Alternatively for questions and information on the Kent and Medway Medical School in general, please visit the KMMS website.
