Based in the heart of Medway

KBS’s Medway campus lies within the historic Chatham Dockyard – a globally-renowned centre of shipbuilding which has more recently turned into a set for various TV shows and films. Critically, the Medway towns are just 40 minutes by train from central London, or just over an hour by car meaning that the University of Kent is more accessible to those coming from the capital.
