Kent Global Connect is a series of online interactive webinars designed to help you learn more about the University and student life in the UK.
Meet other Kent applicants and offer-holders before you arrive, find out about what it's like to be a student at Kent, and boost your communication and academic skills in preparation for your course.
The webinars take place throughout August and September on Wednesdays. Sessions will run twice a day at 10am BST and repeated at 3pm BST to allow for international time zones. Academic sessions will run from 1-2.30pm BST.
You can choose to take part in one or more of the sessions. Receive a certificate if you attend three or more sessions. If you do later join the University of Kent, you can exchange your certificate for Employability Points.
For queries, please contact globallearning@kent.ac.uk.
