We have invested more than £80m over the last decade on new and renovated buildings, part of our commitment to providing a first-class student experience.

Located at the Canterbury Campus is Augustine House, our award-winning library and student services building, along with the Students’ Union, arts and culture venues, as well as various food courts and cafes. Additionally, there is a sports centre, with exercise studios and a fully-equipped gym. As part of the facilities offered by the Graduate School there is a dedicated room on campus for research students, with exclusive 24-hour access to IT facilities and other resources.

At the Medway Campus, there is a library, a cafe and a bar, along with subject specific facilities for health students. There are also lecture theatres, IT suites, seminar and tutorial rooms. Some of the facilities here are shared with the University of Kent and the University of Greenwich.
