What does this mean for me?
Most of the changes will be behind the scenes so you may not see anything obvious as staff work hard to minimise disruption to your studies.
You may start to hear staff using these new school names however Divisional email addresses will still work until the end of this academic year. If you’re unsure who to contact, ask Nexus to be linked up with the right service or team.
I am on a course being phased out. Where do I go for support?
If you are on a course being phased out, please be reassured that we will continue to support you while you’re at Kent. Heads of School and support staff from your assigned school, as well as central teams, are on hand to support you.
If you’re unsure who to contact, ask Nexus to be linked up with the right service or team.
Courses being phased out will be aligned to one of the new schools (see table below).
