Study abroad at Canterbury

Canterbury is an enchanting UNESCO World Heritage cathedral city in Kent ('The Garden of England') in southeast England, celebrated for its world-famous medieval Canterbury Cathedral (mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion), ancient Roman walls, cobblestone streets, and literary heritage (Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales), situated just 50 minutes by high-speed Javelin train (HS1) from London St Pancras International. Canterbury is home to the University of Kent ('The UK's European University' - founded in 1965 by royal charter, ranked top 40 in the UK by The Guardian and top 350 globally by QS with over 18,000 students atop its gorgeous parkland Canterbury Campus overlooking the Cathedral), internationally renowned for Kent Law School (ranked top 15 in the UK for critical legal studies and human rights law), Kent Business School (Triple Crown accredited: AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS), School of Computing (leading in Cyber Security, Data Science, and AI), and School of Psychology, alongside Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU - famed for the Kent and Medway Medical School KMMS, Education, and Healthcare). Degrees are taught 100% in English within the British higher education system. International students benefit from an extremely safe student city environment, close proximity to London and mainland Europe (Eurostar/Dover), and direct UK Student Visa (CAS) support.
