We email students at the beginning of the year to ask the all-important questions about expectations of University life.
Progress Profiles are web-based reports that display your academic progress to date. Every undergraduate student at Kent will have a Progress Profile.
Excellence in Education is a targeted campaign that looks to improve grades for students in our APP target cohorts.

The APP (Access and Participation Plan) is a statutory requirement from the OfS (Office for Students). These were implemented when tuition fees were raised to ensure students have an equitable chance to attend and thrive at University. We run targeted campaigns to ensure students from different backgrounds have the same opportunities and can enjoy their university experience to the fullest.
The APP document outlines are targets and goals as followed.
