Don’t miss the Welcome Fair - your chance to grab freebies while signing up to a club or society - it’s a must-attend!

Get organised
Getting ready for uni looks different for everyone, but make sure you’re as prepared as you can be for your uni experience. Some of you might be moving to Canterbury or Medway, which will mean making a list of essentials you need for your move. You can always grab cheap household essentials when you arrive - so don’t worry about forgetting something!
If you’re going to be commuting, make sure you know which transport you need to get to our campuses. Find out more about public transport to and from our campuses on the University's website.
Discover your passion
Uni is all about trying new things and finding your passion. We have dozens of sports clubs and societies to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. From sports to gaming, arts to politics, there’s a community waiting for you.
Make sure to check out our Welcome Fair to explore all your options!
