Overview

With access to specialist supervision, excellent resources and a vibrant intellectual community, students' time at Kent will empower them to create innovative research that breaks boundaries and intervenes into urgent debates.

Students conduct original research under the guidance of a team of specialist supervisors. They welcome enquiries on any topic, and provide students with excellent research resources to enable them to complete their research, which culminates in a thesis of up to 100,000 words.

Students will have a minimum of two supervisors who support and guide them through their academic and professional development throughout their studies. Students meet regularly with their supervisors, who not only oversee their research project but help them to identify areas where they may require further advice or training. A series of reviews take place throughout studies in order to ensure that projects stay on track and that students have all the necessary support and resources required to successfully complete it.
