University of Kent

The University of Kent (originally titled University of Kent at Canterbury and still often referred to as UKC) is a Glass Plate University in the United Kingdom. It was granted its Royal Charter in 1965 and the first students arrived in the October of that year. The main campus covers 300 acres (1.2 km²) and is in an elevated position just over two miles (3 km) from Canterbury's city centre. It has approximately 7,500 undergraduates. A second campus has recently been established at Medway - this has resulted in the formal title of the University being contracted from the original "University of Kent at Canterbury".
