Events roundup: 15-20 January

Welcome to the start of the Spring Term! And a warm welcome to all our new students who have joined us in January.

Campus Shuttle update: From 15 January, a new provider, Zeelo, is running our Campus Shuttle service between the Canterbury and Medway campuses. The timetable isn’t changing but it will take some time to set up the new booking system. So for now, you just need to show your KentOne card to the driver to use the Campus Shuttle. There is no need to book.
