Welcome to our new members of the International Student Advisory Board (ISAB). 

Following a recruitment round where we received a positive response with over 100 applications from our international student community and interviews with 40 students to join our International Student Advisory Board, we are delighted to have our final representatives. 

The Advisory Board is made up of 30 current international students from across all levels of the University – Foundation, Undergraduate, Exchange, Postgraduate Taught and Research – representing a range of nationalities. 

The purpose of the Board is to inform and provide feedback mechanisms to allow international students to actively contribute towards campaigns, awareness raising and submit suggestions for change, that will benefit all international students at the wider university.  The Board creates a new channel for proactive international student advocacy and uphold the principles of the UKCISA #WeAreInternational Student Charter. 

Claudia Moreira, VP Post-Graduate & International Experience, Kent Students’ Union, said 

“I’m very excited for ISAB and its potential to profoundly improve the experience of international students at Kent. The board provides a crucial space for the University to gain deeper insights into student needs from the students themselves, empowering them to take on active leadership roles. Kent Students’ Union is ready to champion ISAB’s work and eagerly anticipates the positive impact this collaboration will bring.” 

Meet with your ISAB reps

We would like to invite all international students to meet with their representatives on Tuesday 19 November, in Nexus, Templeman Library, between 14:00 – 17:00, and share their experiences so far #YourUniYourSay
