The International Partnerships Directorate at the University of Kent was established on 1 August 2016.
International Partnerships sits within Academic Division and is responsible for increasing the University’s global presence, profile and esteem by driving forward the development of a range of international partnership activity, encompassing student and staff mobility, visiting faculty, dual awards and articulation arrangements. Kent currently has links with 388 institutions worldwide and seeks to enhance and develop its range of partnerships according to the University’s Internationalisation Strategy 2015-2020.
International Partnerships is led by Hannah McNorton, and is based in the Registry extension at the Canterbury campus. The department’s responsibilities include:
– Managing and increasing partnerships with institutions worldwide
