The University of Kent (formerly the University of Kent at Canterbury, abbreviated as UKC) is a semi-collegiate public research university based in Kent, United Kingdom. The university was granted its royal charter on 4 January 1965 and the following year Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, was formally installed as the first Chancellor.[6]
The university has its main campus north of Canterbury situated within 300 acres (120 hectares) of parkland, housing over 6,000 students, as well as a campus in Medway in Kent and European postgraduate centres in Brussels, Athens, Rome and Paris.[7] The university is international, with students from 158 different nationalities and 41% of its academic and research staff being from outside the United Kingdom.[8] It is a member of the Santander Network of European universities encouraging social and economic development.[9]
