Supporting our students
At Kent we are committed to the wellbeing of our students and supporting them through a range of expertise and initiatives.
From dedicated mental health advisors and specialist support to alternative therapies such as our Kent Community Oasis Garden, we take a holistic and individual approach to supporting our students.
We have expert staff to support students and discuss academic adjustments. We can help with mental health, disability, autism and specific learning differences (SpLDs, including ADHD and dyslexia), and accessibility.
