IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF KENT PARTNERSHIP
  Canterbury, England

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Canterbury is home to one of the most historic and important cathedrals in England and offers the ambiance you’d expect from such a traditional location, including cobblestone streets, ancient pubs, unique restaurants, and cultural events. Canterbury has plenty of modern attractions for today’s student as well, including regular concerts and ethnic restaurants.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Historic Kent provides a unique backdrop to the university’s self-contained campus, where you’ll join students and staff from more than 150 nations. Kent is noted for strong law, international relations, and business departments, among others. Visiting students have access to all but a very small number of classes, so it’s easy to keep credits on track.  

After class, head off the wooded campus and through medieval city walls to the old town, where cobblestone streets and timber-framed houses mingle with world-famous structures, including Canterbury Cathedral. (Look for dragon door handles, stone imps and carved mermaids before you explore markets, shops, and cafes.) 

Canterbury is also a great jumping off point for further exploration. The coast and countryside are nearby, and must-see London is just one hour by high-speed train. 

Your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities that give you deeper cultural insights, with no extra fees. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
