The University of Kent was granted its Royal Charter in 1965 and the first students arrived in the October of that year.

The main campus covers 300 acres and is just over a mile from Canterbury's city centre.

In 1997, the University opened a new centre, the Bridge Wardens' College (BWC), in Chatham's Historic Dockyard. In spring 2000, the University signed an agreement with Mid-Kent College to form the University of Kent at Medway, based at Horsted in Chatham and also at BWC. Kent also has centres in Tonbridge, London and Brussels.

The University has three associate colleges: Canterbury College, Mid-Kent College and South Kent College.
