Helping you get here

Help with travel costs

Part of being sure which university you want to go to is really getting a feel for the campus and the community. There is no better way to do that than by coming to an Offer Holder Day.

Traveling to events can be expensive, but we want to make sure you have every opportunity to come to an Offer Holder Day to get the full Kent experience and be confident about making us your firm choice. That’s why we’ve made getting here a little easier. 

If you're a UK offer holder or a UK-based international offer holder, we're offering to cover some of your travel costs, up to the value of £50.
