The annual Times Higher Education (THE) Awards have also shortlisted the University for Outstanding Support for Students.
The THE’s University of the Year Award, which is open to all higher education institutions in the UK, celebrates exceptional performance in the past academic year and in particular those ‘bold, imaginative and innovative initiatives that have advanced an institution’s reputation’.
Its Award for Outstanding Support for Students is for the institution that ‘helps students gain the maximum benefit from their study’.
Both shortlists come towards the end of Kent’s golden jubilee year and during one of the most successful periods in its history – one that has been characterised by its ability to combine excellence in research and teaching, whilst developing the collegiate environment for which it has a long held reputation.
