The day will include presentations and discussions on a range of topics, including anxiety, stress, depression, low mood, eating disorders, psychosis, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. You’ll also have the chance to network and exchange good practices during the lunchtime Mental Health Fair, where you can chat with staff representing a range of services and local companies and charities.

If you usually travel to campus by train, please be aware of planned train strikes. See Southeastern’s website for when these will take place as well as helpful information.
If you need to travel to campus on a train strike day, we recommend you find alternative modes of travel where possible and check our Campus Travel updates webpage.
If you have an in-person exam on a train strike day, please make every effort to make alternative travel arrangements as these cannot be rescheduled.
Travel disruption in itself is not a reason for mitigation (see Credit Framework for details). However, if your circumstances mean that alternative arrangements to get to campus on a train strike day are not possible, please let your Division know you will be absent, or contact your Student Support Team. You will also need to apply for an end of year mitigation if your absence results in you missing an assessment.
If you miss teaching due to train strikes, please check your Moodle module page for any resources made available or alternatively arrange to see your seminar/class leader during office/student consultation hours or speak to your academic adviser.
Teaching will continue as planned, and our campuses and services will remain open during the disruption.
Gain new skills to stand out when you graduate.
The need for well-rounded graduates from employers is increasing; in 2023 the demand for workers who can bring a range of skills to the table is larger than ever before. The opportunity is here for you to become that graduate as applications for Kent’s Year-In courses have opened.
The Year In courses give undergraduates students in Years 2 and 3 the opportunity to take an extra year in another course subject. This can be between your 2nd and 3rd year, or after your 3rd year is complete. Courses on offer for the 2023/24 academic year include:
If you take a Year-In, it will appear on your degree certificate, letting employers know what you are capable of.
A Year-In will help combine your existing knowledge and experience with practical skills and experiences valued by employers. The graduate labour market is competitive, and the Year-In could be the very thing that makes you the obvious choice for an employer. You’ll spend a year immersing yourself in a new subject, with courses designed for beginners, that will deliver engaging, high level learning opportunities.
Watch the videos to find out more about each Year In involves:
The deadline for Year In applications is Friday 12 May 2023 for final year students.
