Together with the University of Greenwich we are excited to announce our intention to formally collaborate to create a new ‘super-university’ in the South East.
This trailblazing model will create a first of its kind multi-university group bringing both institutions under one structure whilst still keeping our individual names, identities and local presence.
Known as the London and South East University Group, (name TBC), it will become one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK and the largest in the South of England. It will also be the biggest recruiter of students in London and the South East.
Professor Georgina Randsley de Moura, Acting Vice Chancellor and President of the University of Kent said: “This exciting collaboration is about harnessing the combined power of two ambitious universities looking to the future, to ensure we are sustainable, impactful and can make a bigger difference to the communities we serve.
“Together, we can deliver world-class teaching, grow research that tackles real-world challenges, and create new opportunities for people and places across our wider region. From supporting health and wellbeing to driving innovation in food, sustainability and the creative industries, our work will have impact locally, nationally and globally. Importantly, we will foster a culture where staff and students thrive, collaborate and succeed together.”
