A warm welcome to all our new January starters joining us this new year! We look forward to working with you and meeting you all over the coming weeks. Your school will be running school events and sessions for you to attend. It’s important that you attend these to receive information about your course, support and opportunities available to you during your time at Kent.
Your Director of Studies (DoS) will invite you directly to a meeting in the first week of term to talk to you about your course and student life at KBS. Keep an eye out for an email from them!
