What is a Year In?
Stand out in the labour market by adding a Year In to your degree.
A Year In is a programme offered by Kent which allows you to take a year in another course. This means you can enhance your knowledge and offer a unique skillset to future employers.
You can take an additional year in another course between stage 2 and stage 3 of your course or after you have completed stage 3. The programme you take will be added to your degree title which can really enhance your CV.
