I applied on December 1st and I'm pretty sure I found out in January - but this is still pretty early to apply so it might be sooner for you. I don't think I got an acknowledgement from Kent but they usually come through within a few days/a week. Good luck! What do you want to study?


Ah Ok, hopefully. I'm sort of hoping they don't wait until the deadline.
Architecture (:

I'm applying for actuarial science, just waiting on my reference.

Did anyone else think Kents accomodation was quite expensive? I can only afford the shared bathrooms, which are still more than the en-suite I viewed at UEA....I only looked at the cheapest lot at Kent though and it was actually really nice.


I haven't really paid any attention to the prices of the accommodation yet. But all of it seems quite nice, so I'd be happy to go pretty much anywhere I think ^^

Got the scary email saying my Ref had sent my App off today!
Can either of you remember how long it took to receive an offer/acknowledgement from Kent?
Thank you!


Last year I applied on 8th October and got an offer on 5th November :smile:
I would like to apply for Computer Science but I haven't been to an open day :frown:

Is it crucial to go to an open day? :erm: I live up North so it'd be a trek and a half on my own.


It won't affect your application, but it's always good to go to one to get a feel of the university to make sure if you want to apply or not.

On another note I'm a second year Biochemistry student so if anyone has any questions about the Bioscience courses or anything Kent related I'll do my best to help :smile:

It's not necessary to go to the open day, just good to go to make sure that is exactly where you want to go (:

Ahhhh I haven't had an acknowledgement from Kent :frown: they've had my application for almost 3 weeks.

I've had 2 offers already, but I want Kent to love me haha :smile:

Also, my friend has just started her first year at Kent doing architecture and she's really enjoying it

East Anglia and Portsmouth, UEA is technically speaking 'better' but I prefer the course at Kent :smile:

Hehe :wink:

Wheeeey! I do psychology :smile: and I got in on BBB (didn't even have to ring them and beg or anything, checked UCAS and bam. Place.)
I still need to do write up my PS but have no motivation these days.

Good choice guys :smile: I've just started at Kent doing English and American Lit and am loving it. Feel free to ask me any questions about my course/the uni in general. By the way, Tyler Court is the best accommodation :wink:

Yeah it is and just really nice accommodation in general :smile: In my opinion, it's definitely worth the extra money for an en-suite.
