ATHENS
Kent’s teaching centre in Athens is in the suburb of Eleusina, one of
the most important archaeological sites in the world. The University
has a unique collaboration with the Athens University of Economics
and Business, capitalising on the specialist teaching, research and
expertise of both partners. The MA in Heritage Management is
taught in these historic surroundings. The centre of Athens is only
30km away, and students have easy access to many other major
historical sites including the Parthenon, Ancient Corinth, Nemea
and Thebes (see p254).
BRUSSELS
Kent is the only UK university to have a centre in the ‘capital of Europe’,
where it offers postgraduate degrees in international studies. Brussels
is home to the main institutions of the European Union, as well as
organisations such as NATO, NGOs and think-tanks, and staff from
many of these institutions contribute to the teaching at our centre.
Studying in Brussels offers opportunities to network, with many
students securing internships and careers within prestigious
organisations (see p255).
PARIS
The University’s Paris School of Arts and Culture offers postgraduate
students the chance to study in the historic and cultural heart of
Montparnasse. We offer programmes in the arts and humanities, where
your learning is enhanced by immersion in the culture and language of
one of the most inspirational cities in the world. As part of a thriving
academic community, students work with internationally respected
academics and enjoy all the opportunities that come with living and
working in Paris – ranked the best student city in the world in the QS
Best Student Cities 2016 (see p257).
ROME
Canterbury and Rome have been linked since the Middle Ages by the
pilgrimage route Via Francigena. The School of Arts and the School
of European Culture and Languages (SECL) both offer postgraduate
programmes with the opportunity to spend a term studying in Rome,
the centre of classical antiquity and inspiration for some of the world’s
greatest artists. Students have access to key sites, museums and
artefacts within this historical city (see p258).
