Leicester University, with over 8,000 full-time students, is situated almost exactly in the center of England, approximately 100 miles north of London (only 75 minutes away by train!). While at Leicester, students can take classes in a variety of disciplines, such as communications, humanities, social sciences, math, computer sciences, and basic sciences.

Kent students can study at Leicester for either fall or spring semester or all year. Each semester a student can expect to earn approximately 15 semester hours of transfer credits. The fall semester lasts from late September through mid-December. Fall semester students travel to Stratford, Warwick, and Lincoln before the semester begins (and of course they often travel on weekends within Britain or over to Europe). Spring semester runs from late January to the end of May. The spring semester program at Leicester includes a six-day excursion to Rome, Italy where students explore major archaeological sites in the center of Rome, visit the Vatican Museum, and study key sites in the environs, namely the Roman port at Ostia and Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli.

While studying at Leicester, students will live in either self-catered housing (which look like our residence halls) or in halls of residence. Students in self-catered housing will receive a Snap Card to purchase lunches on campus, and they will prepare their own evening meals in a communal kitchen. Students living in the halls of residence will have their evening meals provided. With either living arrangement, Kent students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with students from England and other countries.
