SoH-Welcome

The University of Kent has established itself as one of the leading centres for the study of History in the UK. It is ranked 1st for research quality in The Complete University Guide 2023, and it consistently scores above 90% for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey. Community lies at the heart of what we do: our academics and students take pride as much in our welcoming, inclusive approach to learning as they do in our reseaerch and teaching excellence. We are also incredibly fortunate to be based in the historic city of Canterbury. This provides an ideal setting for the study of history, with its heritage apparent in its ancient streets and buildings. Kent is also a unique geographical location for the study of military history, with its significant sites ranging from Roman forts to a Cold War nuclear bunker.
