There are many reasons why Medway should be high on your list of places to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate study. Here are just a few of them\u2026<\/p>\n

1. The area oozes culture<\/h2>\n

KBS Medway is based at the Sail and Colour Loft<\/a> \u2013 a historic 18th<\/sup>-century building that has been renovated and adapted specifically for our requirements. It is set within Chatham Dockyard<\/a> where Horatio Nelson joined his first ship, and nearby Rochester was a favourite haunt of Charles Dickens. Quaint, historic buildings abound, there are regular festivals<\/a> and the music scene is lively to say the least!<\/p>\n

2. It\u2019s a doddle from London<\/h2>\n

Medway is half way between the capital and KBS’s Canterbury Campus so whether you\u2019re travelling by road or public transport, it\u2019s very easy to get to<\/a>. From central London KBS Medway is approximately a one hour drive. By rail it\u2019s even faster, with high-speed services reaching Chatham in just 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

3. It\u2019s a doddle from Canterbury, too\u2026<\/h2>\n

During term-time a shuttle bus<\/a> runs between the University of Kent\u2019s Medway and Canterbury campuses every hour. It\u2019s free for students and staff and runs late into the night for those wanting to make the most of either Canterbury<\/a> or Medway<\/a> nightlife.<\/p>\n

4. Small in size, big on facilities<\/h2>\n

There are a range of on and off-site facilities available to you. For food and drink you have No1 Bistro<\/a>, Archibald Hay Mess Caf\u00e9<\/a>, Cargo<\/a> and The Deep End<\/a>. State-of-the-art teaching facilities include Medway Park sports centre<\/a>, which students can use at a discounted rate.

5. Nearby accommodation<\/h2>\n

Whilst Medway makes for a great location for those who commute, it also offers fantastic living accommodation<\/a>. Liberty Quays\u2019 Modern flats are shared between five and eight students and every bedroom has an en-suite. Not only is it a short walk from the main campus, it is also located around a shopping plaza with a Tesco Express, Domino\u2019s Pizza and Subway.<\/p>\n
