Further Information

Important!

Students will be nominated at the School of Economics, partner faculty according to agreement, and will be able to choose courses from this faculty (Economics, Methods and Finance) only. On case-by case and goodwill basis Business Administration students with very good academic records can be admitted to the Kent Business School (KBS) or to selected KBS courses, subject to the approval of the KBS.

 In Kent the academic year is divided into 3 terms. Each term is 9 weeks long, followed by a one-week examination period. The normal credit load for each term consists of two modules worth 20 Kent credits (10 ECTS) each. However, it is also possible to take 3 courses in one term and thus achieve 30 ECTS.

Please note that the number of funded days for England is shorter than for the other Erasmus partner universities (due to Brexit). This means that a mobility of two terms and even more so a mobility of three terms cannot be financed for the entire stay. Tuition fees are also not charged if the number of days financed is exceeded
