European Studies at Canterbury Kent voices
“I enjoy the interactive teaching methods: for example, we’ll research how the media has treated a story on a European directive and there will be lots of discussion, rather than just sitting being talked to.”
European Studies at Kent gives you the opportunity to study the politics, history and culture of Europe in the nearest UK city to continental Europe. We call ourselves the UK’s European university, not only because of our proximity to the continent but also because of our extensive network of connections and partnerships in Europe. We offer two sets of degree programmes in European Studies – one in Humanities and one in Social Sciences – both including the study of either French, German, Italian and Spanish, or a combination of two languages (Humanities only). All of our programmes include a year abroad in another European country either studying at one of our partner universities or working. For applicants taking the Kent Social Sciences Foundation Programme for International Students, passing with 60% average is a requirement for entry onto the first year of these degree programmes.
