Location of University of Kent, Canterbury Campus
The University of Kent at Paris allows MA students to share their year between Canterbury and Paris. Postgraduates enrolled on this programme spend the autumn term in Canterbury, where you choose two relevant 30-credit modules. You then spend the spring term in Paris, where your studies are based at our teaching and research centre in Montparnasse. During that term, you take two modules taught by staff from the University of Kent and occasional guest lecturers, thus ensuring consistent academic standards and assessment throughout the year.
The modules are designed to be specifically relevant to the experience of living and studying in the city. You are encouraged to make full use of Paris's cultural resources and to integrate these into your studies. University of Kent staff are resident in Paris during the Spring Term to ensure year-long continuity of academic guidance and pastoral support.
