About Higher Education

We also pride ourselves in being a friendly, inclusive University community.
Recently confirmed as offering a high quality student academic experience by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). Our Colleges are the perfect local centre to study for your degree.

Why choose North Kent College for Higher Education:

• Study Locally

  If you live in Kent or South East London, we're really easy to reach via car or public transport, meaning that you can save money on university accommodation costs and travel. Plus, you'll have more time work and study as well as maintain your current personal lifestyle.

• Flexible Entry Criteria

  Having the required entry grades is beneficial, especially for those who have just finished college or sixth-form. However, your application is encouraged if you are a mature student (aged 21 and over), without the required entry grades, but with relevant industry experience.

• Dedicated Higher Education Study Area

  We have a dedicated Higher Education study area at our Dartford Campus for our Access and Higher Education students. The Higher Education study area is a great place to study and meet other students on different undergraduate programmes.

• Supportive Environment

  Our students appreciate the level of support that is available to them from their lecturers and all staff on campus. We’re smaller than most universities, which means better support for you.

• Discounted Travel

  We have teamed up with Arriva buses, to offer you 10% off your travel to the campuses. Plus, if you live in the London boroughs, you can get up to 30% off your travel with a Student Oyster Card and Dartford Station is now in the Oyster Card area in zone 8.

• FREE Shuttle Bus to the Dartford Campus

  If you drive, we have loads of free parking. If you don’t, we have a FREE Shuttle Bus, which regularly runs from Dartford Station to our Dartford campus.

• Accommodation

  North Kent College does not operate halls of residence; however, the surrounding area offers a number of accommodation options to suit the needs of our students.

• Support
