Each academic year, the Student Learning Advisory Service offers international students the opportunity of attending specific events targeted and aimed at them.
Canterbury – On Sunday 13th October, International Students enjoyed one of the following two events on the Canterbury campus: a Coffee Morning or a High Tea organised by the Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS). These are social events with an academic twist and almost 300 international students from over 62 countries took part in them.
Medway – On Tuesday 15th October, approximately 30 international students, from China, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Japan, Jamaica, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Spain and Taiwan attended a lunch organised by the Student Learning Advisory Service (SLAS) and International Development (ID), on the Medway Campus.
International students had the opportunity to meet other international students, discover aspects of the academic and social life in the university, and take part in a quiz designed to extend awareness of various aspects of life at Kent. SLAS awarded prizes to the winning team, and everyone enjoyed the food provided. All events were extremely successful; the students appreciated them and the atmosphere was full of positive energy, enjoyment and vitality.
A quote from one international student: “Despite the awful weather the event was lovely, joyful and the food was tasty. On top of that, I’ve made some new acquaintances and learned some new things thanks to the quiz 🙂 Many thanks!”
